NPS Update (for those who care)

Straight from [info]randomcelestial:

(As clear as I can remember)

--Rives did not nail Freestyle. Rives is out.

--[info]dansully is also out.

--[info]androidlustre went up in the second round, did well, but did not score highly enough to make indies.

--NYC-Louder Arts is undefeated going into semis.

--NYC-Urbana took another 2, and is thus on the cusp.

--[info]randomcelestial got the 1 and Buddy Wakefield the 2 in their bouts tonight, but both too little too late.

--[info]mojgani made indies.

--Both Chicago teams are done.

That's all he could get across before he had to go.

Word, if you have it, would especially be appreciated in re:

**[info]ragan

**the Eugene team

**[info]hot_rod_poet

**both Boston teams and Providence (having already heard about Worcester)

**the Seattle team in general and Christa Bell in particular

**T'ai Freedom Ford

**George Miller

**Who is fucking whom

**How many times Danny Solis has been sighted sans culottes.

Any other results, also welcome.

[Edited to add: all the results are now up on the NPS website, here.
Unless they've changed how they do the seeding, the four semifinal bouts are:

Fort Worth
Palo Alto
Berkeley
Mesa
NYC-Urbana

NYC-Louder Arts
Hawaii
Albuquerque
Oakland
Delray Beach

San Francisco
Charlotte
Detroit
DC/Baltimore
Minneapolis

Boston-Lizard Lounge
Seattle

and the 10 poets who made indie semis are:

Janean Livingston
Monica Daye*
[info]hot_rod_poet*
Xero Skidmore
[info]ragan*
Christa Bell*
Corbet Dean
[info]mojgani

*first time making it to indies]

[info]mstegosaurus

August 12 2005, 05:35:35 UTC 6 years ago

Carlos Gomez, Jive Poetic, [info]lowhumcrush, Roger and T'ai. Strong team.

Providence took at least a 3 tonight--San Francisco won, with Hollywood second. I believe Omaha got 3 and Providence got the 4, but those could be mixed up. Eavesdropping on the street is not an exact science.

August 12 2005, 05:43:04 UTC 6 years ago

Hmm... thanks-- how'd you guys do tonight?

[info]exodusrex

August 12 2005, 05:45:35 UTC 6 years ago

coulda been better

We took a 1 last night and 3 tonight. Fort Worth got the 1, with Hawaii getting a 2--only .3 ahead of us. We're right on the cusp too.

How did Worcester do?

Re: vancouver got kicked around

Gack, I'm sorry to hear that.... it's always tough when a bunch of veterans retire at once....

I'm just repeating what [info]randomcelestial told me, man. Congrats!

(Also, that means [info]ragan made it too, which, awesome.)

hot_rod_poet

Cantab went 2 and 3 (very off-chance of making semis). Lizard went 1 and 2 (down to Palo Alto tonight in the Match of Doom #1).

There's no way Darby will tell you this on his own, so I'll spread the word: a 1 last night and a 1 tonight. Mothafucka.

I have comprehensive score sheets for three matches. You can email if you want 'em.

Re: hot_rod_poet

Hot damn! I always knew he had it in him.

I think I can do without the complete scores, but can you tell me what pieces he did?

Re: hot_rod_poet

He absolutely nailed Von Dutch on night 1 (best I'd ever seen). Night 2 he did Alloy.

Eugene

Eugene took 3rd tonight, and are now ranked at 24th according to tehir blog. A fine showing for my hometown, if I do say so myself. Even if semis are out, I'm still proud as fuck.

eugene & seattle did not make semis. Christa Bell, however is in the top 10 indies.

You already found out about Eric & Ragan, so I don't have to repeat that.

I have no idea who is fucking whom. And I don't think Danny has been naked yet, which is suprising considering the insane amount of naked poets in the pool.

(also, not sure if you were interested in this - Mesa is in Semis, and Corbett made indies).

[info]january_embers

August 12 2005, 10:41:16 UTC 6 years ago

Oh. Should read everything before posting.

Lizard Lounge is in, Cantab & Providence are out (99% sure on that anyway).

[info]mstegosaurus

August 12 2005, 10:42:54 UTC 6 years ago

Aye, I should update this entry to indicate that all the results are posted now. Will do that presently.

[info]mstegosaurus

August 12 2005, 10:51:30 UTC 6 years ago

Also, Seattle did too make semis!

[info]january_embers

August 12 2005, 17:35:42 UTC 6 years ago

Yeah, they did. I have no idea how I missed that. Sorry.

Go, Christa! I need to give her a call.

what does "storm poet" for team mean in the individuals? are those the people who aren't on a team but just competing indie or something?

[info]mstegosaurus

August 13 2005, 04:30:32 UTC 6 years ago

Exactly; named after Pat Storm, who was a member of several teams over the years and died a few years back.

I just noticed for those of us not in ABQ this year, that KUNM will be broadcasting the Indie finals via quicktime and real audio. Check www.nps2005.org for details.

[info]mstegosaurus

August 13 2005, 04:31:41 UTC 6 years ago

That's actually indie-semis, I'm pretty sure-- they brought 'em back this year. But thinks for the tip, I hadn't seen that!
