First Qualifier Brings Slam Back

The first Qualifying round layed it down last week to a full house. There were familiar faces and some fully entertaining surprises. Only ten poets showed up, so big props to those of you who got of the couch and came in! Those of you waiting to see if this if the Bend Poetry Slam will rip like the old days...well it did. Highlights? The venerable Ted, opening it up with some Cowboy style, Michalla and Jessie representing preteen(?) style and impressing, and a showdown between KP and Mandie for 2nd/3rd place.
Finalists:
1st: Jonathan 42pts
2nd: Mandie 40pts
3rd: KP 40pts

Ted(36pts) and Scott(35pts) also made the final round and earned points toward qualifying for the Final Rounds!

Not sure about competing? Well, neither were Jonathan and Mandie and they went home with $$$$!!!
The crowd was large and into it, so you better sign up next month!
