I will totally be there. Isabelle and Anna R. are going to do a joint slam and we were wondering--should we prepare two poems or are we going to do the traditional, YWP, "write for your life" second round?

Just what I need...

A mega chorus concert and track&field meet on the day of the slam, both intertwining. Maybe next year...

Tons of roads have been washed out and there's been lots of flooding. What's going on? What's the plan for the Slam? Is it cancelled, are you moving it to a later date, is it still going on?

Sorry

Submitted by DarkDecember on Fri, 05/27/2011 - 12:58pm.

I can't make it to the Slam tonight. The roads are washed out and the weather is supposed to be just as bad tonight. My parents don't want me to go. I'm really sorry, and thank you for inviting me, I'm really pleased that you did.

As I said in my message, not a problem. We look forward to working with you over the summer on this site and in the fall with resumption of the slams and other fun things. Take care. Don't drive through any puddles and remember: YWP is The Only Guilt Free Project in America.
