NOTES FROM SURVIVOR SLAM X:

Survivor Slam X: the closest PuroSlam has ever come to complete chaos. 12 poets, 3 teams, 7 rounds (each decided upon at the last minute). Anything Goes, Interpretative Dance (yes, we brought it back), Prop Improv, Cupcake Eating, Group Cover Poems, Straight Up Slam Poetry, and the cruelest round of the night (or so I was told), Air Guitar Poetry. Team Vocab, Team Amanda, and Team David tried to outwit, outplay, and outslam each other, and when all was said and done, and Shaggy's inventive score keeping took its toll, the slam ended in a tie. We had no choice but to settle things with the first ever PuroSlam Sock Wrestlling Match (idea courtesy of the gorgeous Keli). Noah had Lakey beat, but Noah's sock ripped giving Lakey, and thus Team Amanda, the victory!
