This is Dan. I tend to repeat this all through the beginning of the evening, and Dain knows it by heart, so I figured I would post it here.
1. We draw for the 8 for the slam from the Poetry Slam Gladware container.
2. We pick for the Sacrificial Goat from those not selected.
3. Then we put the names not picked from both Poetry Slam or the Sacrificial Goat slot into the Open Mic Gladware container.
4. We then select 8 people for that. Same three-minute time limit applies.
I think you should have the open mic poets read between the slam rounds, it couldn’t be any worse than the jokes we’ve been subjected to (pardon my dangle). That’s what I think, if you want to know what I think.
Dan, you’re stepping on my new trademark!
