Four Times the Fun!

Our "Last Chance Slam" was definitely one for the books! Thank you to the great people at the Common Ground Theater for always being so nice & hospitable to us. We started out with one pretty awesome feature & ended up with three by the end of the night! Special thank you to Stefen Micko from Charlotte, Moses West from Jacksonville, FL & Jackhammer Serenade (Patrick & Dre) from Oakland, CA. These poets truly gave us their hearts & amazing energy! Just when you're wondering if it can get any better we had the most intense slam of the season as 12 poets fought for the last guaranteed spot in the Jambalaya Soul Slam Grand Slam Finals! The judges didn't make it easy & the poets all poured their souls out on the stage for that coveted spot. The scores are as follows.
