Finals tonight!

Are you excited? I’m excited. Are you? Of course you are. Of course you’re excited - three hours from my writing this, 200 people will be packing Hugh’s Room to hear the 8 top slammers from the season vie for spots on the 2nd Toronto team for the nationals - and, of course, Shane “Maybe My Eye-Melting Poetry Ate Your Baby” Koyczan.
I’m still lobbying officials to have staple guns given exemptions as props. Not sure how that’ll turn out - I think the rep from Riverdale can be bought out, but the rest are tough - but expect lacerations nonetheless, even if only of the metaphorical nature.
Hugh’s Room (Bloor and Dundas)
8pm (come early for a seat)
$10
Believe it.

The night was so, so incredible. Everyone was on their game. That was poetry at its finest.
Are you planning on posting the scores? I’d be thankful if you did. (Ok, really I just want to know my final score and the person ahead of me. I like to brag about how close I was to making the team.
