That's right the "Just Poetry Slam" has it's own blog.

Last Thursday's Slam was a complete blast! Many many thanks to all the poets who have made this event a success the last two months. Thank you, thank you and thank you always to the wonderful people at Cafe Gutenberg for allowing the imates to run the asylum, so to speak. Congrats to Dorothy Marie Rice and S. Ross Browne, our first two slam winners. Okay, one of the really jacked-up things about being the host is I continually forget to say something vitally important (it's pretty pathetic actually). In keeping with that tradition, I failed to mention on Thursday that past winners cannot compete. That's right, they can't compete because they are automatically registered as combatants in our Grand Slam (no, not the Denny's breakfast). Well, Dorothy read and wowed the crowd as usual. She wowed me some much that I blacked-out on the whole rule situation. So there you have it, my conscious is now clear. Keep pushing your pen on paper.
