Texas 1, or A Quick Postcard

I'm in Texas for the National Poetry Slam, and so far it's been hot - hot as in fantastic, and hot as in sun-beats-on-pavement-sweat-before-you're-out-the-door.

Today, I was the last poet called in the Jewish Open Mic, where I performed "The Importance of Dialogue" to wild success. I'm being recruited for the Five College Slam Team next year. :-)

Tonight, I get to see more bouts - rounds of competition among teams of poets. It's like dueling, only geekier and more verbose.
