Below, you will find a list of all of the teams headed to Charlotte, NC for the National Poetry Slam! Please note, that if you DO NOT see your team listed, you should contact me, Abigail Ehn at psimember@charter.net to sort it out. In your email you should send a copy of your recipt of payment. Also note that there will be changes to this list as some of these teams have not paid their balance and some teams have just sumbitted their money. Stay tuned!

See above in bold

Thanks Jesse
I've already emailed Abigail to see if it's too late to register. From my understanding of what she wrote, i think that only applys to teams that have paid and don't see their names. I'm afraid that we might have missed the date because it was not posted on the PSI main website as it was in the pass. Additionally, I also was not sent an email with the important dates in it for all the slam masters to have as was done in the past, but i should have been more proactive in tracking down someone to get the dates instead of assuming that said email was not sent at all. Again thank you for your help.

« on: August 14, 2010, 09:17:41 AM »

Hello.  this is Akeem Martin Slam master from Slam new orleans.  I'm currently trying to schedule the slam to see who will go to Iwps and wow for this year but i can't find any info to when registration begins and how much registration for that poet will be? I'm sorry i know i've been asking a lot of questions lately but New Orleans is back after a long absence and a lot of things have changed with PSi since 2005 and i really don't have anyone in the city to ask these questions to.  I know the date for Iwps will change but i'm sure that don't have anything to do with when registration begins.  Please respond A. s. a. p.
