I was excited to be invited back to record the Capturing Fire 2013 Queer Spoken Word Summit and Slam. I went to an open mic night and then the semi-finals the next day. I was supposed to record the finals right after the semis but the program went long and the finals were moved to a much later time. I simply couldn't go. Nonetheless, I had a great time and I'm very happy with how the videos turned out. 

These are my three favorite poems. Curiously, they were also some of the tamest poems people performed. 

Keith Jarrett - "A Gay Poem"

Keith Jarrett - "A Gay Poem" Gabe Moses - "Little Fish"

Gabe Moses - "Little Fish" Judson Lewis - "Chic-Fil-A: The Quest for the Forbidden Chicken"

("I am gay. You are tasty. That is our problem" might be my favorite line of the night.)
