Besides Mayda, are there any other poets from the scene involved with this?

Just sent email to the media folks at the white house and tried to follow up with a phone call. You might guess how much success I had with that. Still working hard today to make contact with the right planners and movers.

Maybe Obama can get Scott to stop reading off the page and switch to a teleprompter.

Will it be on C-Span?  That would be more interesting programing

[LoGic]

best possible opening for the WHITE HOUSE POETRY SLAM....


* someone goes up reads the MC spiel....
* Camera one cuts over to The President and his wife just as the are boisterously yelling "SO WHAT!"

 :oIs all this really true?

I would say--what about the Blackberry?  Couldn't we tap a few hundred PSI members to text him?  At least all the young ones.  I totally suck at texting. (This is LV, but Zork may suck at texting, too--he would try to video-conference him on Skype--not likely to get through either--would YOU accept a call from Zork?)

PSi should challenge the "winner" if we can't get the President's BB #.

POTUS should give the spiel. Shoot - he's from Chicago.

Still a step in the right direction.

Can we get him to West Palm Beach this August?

WTG Mayda!!
