« 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.
