Here's @bpwenzl and I performing a duet called To Orson Scott Card at the 2013 National Poetry Slam. #NPS2013 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L0hCXzv2Ck8

After my piece w/ @benpwenzl got low scores at #NPS2013, this passed across the crowd to us. Saved my whole night.

I think my favorite piece of the Nerd Slam was Sam Mercer's "In a Too-Small Kitchen." It's fantastic: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZY5Eoh2HZSg #NPS2013

Here's my poem at the Nerd Slam at @NationalSlam. Thanks to @Captain_Spak for hosting this great event: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nJeoBJvlKYo #NPS2013

Within hours of returning from #NPS2013, I'm at a poetry reading from @shoptalkomaha, wearing two broken watches, feeling unstuck in time.

Home after a full day on the road, spent all 24 clenching a memory-a-minute from #NPS2013 deep into my mind. I hope I never let them go.

I've followed a grip of new people for #nps2013, but I think @cassandraintroy is the best twitterer of the bunch. RT fugue incoming.

#dear poets: prove 'em wrong. be different. #nps2013

Headed home from my first @NationalSlam, with words swimming in my head that seemed impossible a week ago. Can't wait. #NPS2013

#dear poets: I'm all about slam. The egos, the energy, the good and the bad. #nps2013

#dear poets: be mindful. Finals stage make the most modest creature bare they teeth. #nps2013

I'm really glad the sound guy fixed the issue in Brian Omni Dillon's mic that made it hiss with static. Good work. #nps2013 #npsshade

A man serenading his girlfriend with a banjo in the back of a pedicab. That was the most Portland thing, Boston. #NPS2013

Here's my runner-up prize from the Nerd Slam at #NPS2013. I did my Chrono Trigger poem, Bells. It was SO. MUCH. FUN.

My privilege is just getting repeatedly hip-checked through the glass at this reading. #NPS2013

A poet just got up and made me cry with how important that A is to include in the future. Dang. #NPS2013

I'm at the QILTBAG Showcase at #NPS2013. That's GLBTQ, but the I is for Intersex and the A is for Asexual.

There's a podcast recapping #NPS2013; at minute 21, they have a little clip of my piece from last night. That's fun! slamcenter.org/content/episode-9-nps-20...
