2. Getting to perform at Nationals with a GREAT group of poets from St. Louis Slam. it was a great experience.
3. Finally being able to wear the 'poet' badge week.
4. playing freeze tag and musical chairs in the after hours room at the Hyatt! that was the hottness for the week!!
5. seeing the poets sitting around the cooler containing the 'happy juice' Erica made. i knew poets liked fruit....but damn.
6. a legend poet (whom i didnt know knew my name) reminding me to take pictures because he enjoyed looking at them. before that, i was only interested in videotaping nationals.
7. Watchin Slam Charlotte wreckshop on the Finals stage! im very proud of the entire Charlotte slam scene.
8. Hugs....all the hugs that were givin and recieved all week.
9. Christopher Michael making it happen on finals stage as an indie and with his team. also for giving me a ride back to the hotel after finals.

11. the Austin NPS staff for doing such a great job....im going to miss Austin
12. Karaoke at Ego's....poets + alcohol = we dont need a damn machine to sing!
13. Shannon Leigh rockin the hell out of the Indie's final stage!
