Indie Finals! Oh wait...
Can I just share this little piece of NPS selfishness with you? I tend to not be a fan of team pieces, but when I do, they're awesome. I got a big kick out of what parts of the Group Piece Finals I saw, so that tells you something about that show.
That said, after our second bout on Wednesday all I could say was "Dagnabbit! Bring back Indie Finals quick!"
This was the first time as an individual poet that I have ever come anywhere near a good indie ranking. I got a three in the first night and HIGH 1 the second. I would have made Indie Finals...IF WE FREAKIN' HAD THEM!!!
I can't really tell you how cool that is. I mean, I do everything you aren't supposed to and it got me to Indie Finals.
I read "Republican Poets" on the first night and was second in the bout until Oz went up. The second night I read "Cho" and pulled the only score over a 29. This was in a bout, mind you, that had the soon-to-be champions in it, so it wasn't no punk 1. I can't recount how much love I got walking back to my seat. The Midwest is generally supportive of each other, but it was a serious love gauntlet after that.
Man. I don't even know what I would have done with that opportunity. Something ridiculous, I am sure. And you know it would have been on paper.
