SOUNDBITES UPDATE

Well Soundbites has come and passed. We had a team in all three bouts and we all placed second in our bouts. Regardless, the Intangibles were in full effect for one hell of a night. Congrats to Meta-Four, Diction Your Mouth, and Champ Camp for their performances. And also a congratulations to all the other teams who made the night an eargasm of poetry.

...AND THE FIRE BURNS OUT TILL NEXT YEAR

So the 2nd Annual Where There's Smoke There's Fire tour has come to an exhausting end. We'd like to first give a huge thank you to all of those who came out to any of the shows these past four nights. We hope you had as much fun as we did up on stage. The four day tour was filled with reunions, hugs, beers, train tracks, haiku death-match, and even a chair being thrown in the audience (Zev?).

Pictures, video, and audio from the tour will be up soon. And a huge thank you goes out to our good friend Spike who came on the tour with us to record all the shows and third-round action. We got a busy week ahead of us with Soundbites around the corner, more info on that in the next few days.

WHAT WE'VE BEEN UP TO...

Although April is the official first month of the Intangible Collective, March has been a month that will go down in the history of our organization.

At the 2009 ACUI Collegiate Nationals (better known as CUPSI - College Unions Poetry Slam Invitational), the Intangibles were in full effect! Omni coached the SUNY New Paltz team that also featured members Tracy Soren and Kerri Shaffer to the Semi-Finals! We are beyond proud of them, as the compeition was ridiculous this year and this was the largest college national poetry slam in history.

If that's not enough of an Intangible Takeover...Caroline Rothstein coached the UPenn team to 1st in the Nation, while Kristen Tomanocy coached the SUNY Oneonta team and Bamboo MC and TJ Natole hosted the semi-finals bout.

Oh but that's not it... Sierra DeMulder was named 'Best Female Poet' at College Nationals and also led her team from SUNY Minnesota to Semi-Finals. And THEN, a week later went to the Women of the World Poetry Slam (WOWPS) where after the first day of bouts she was ranked 6th out of 72 of the best female poets in the world and ended up finishing 25th in the world!

Also, huge congratulations to Omni again who competed this past Friday, March 27 in the Semi-Final Slam at the legendary Nuyorican Poet's Cafe in NYC!
