StaedlerMars:
Yeah you should.

I used to be into slam poetry, I went to high school with this girl and I'd end up going to the Bowery (which is why I asked, you should totally go there, it's great) quite a few times. But then I moved away and now I don't know what's happening.

I'm pretty shit at it myself.

Victorinia:
That was really great. If I've seen another poem as passionate as that one was at the end, it's not coming to mind at the moment.
I miss slam! I moved from a city with a surprisingly large slam scene (Vancouver) to one with a wee baby slam scene (Montreal) and I just haven't been getting my fix. We should definitely have a pimp your poets thread.

Will:
Okay, I will start!
Here's in incomplete list of people I shamelessly rip off (read 'am influenced by')

Ryler Dustin -  My Old Man

Buddy Wakefield is the guy that got me into the whoile slam thing, and is the first poet I ever really dug:
"The Information Man"

Jason Carney - "My Southern Heritage" - I've been compared to this guy a couple times.

Finally, a guy I've been privileged to have had a chance to perform with. I slammed against him last month, did a feature set with him a few weeks ago. One of my bigger actual inspirations, and an amazing poet to boot.

Baraka Noel aka "Mumbles" - "For The Boy"

Ballard:
Will if you ever make it out to New York, hit me up. My band and a lot of my friends' bands play Bowery Poetry Club all the time.

Will:
I'm trying to work out a short tour near mid-August, so I'll keep that in mind!
