Only good things come from this place, and I'm happy to see it still buzzing.Naomidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03116374070462482669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23925148.post-73614033223279954762010-07-01T22:46:58.866-04:002010-07-01T22:46:58.866-04:00Thanks for the great piece!

For those young poets to have changed your views so radically is a beautiful thing. If I may make a small correction: Although regionals is a competition, the winnings and placement have no bearings on who goes to the national competition. All teams featured at regionals go on to L.A this summer. Although it is a slam, regionals is more of a pre-nationals meet and greet :)Alexis Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01878986770408885528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23925148.post-87439032422022357042010-06-30T13:19:00.028-04:002010-06-30T13:19:00.028-04:00Awesome post.
