The SLAM! Green Room

You bunch of sillies!

We have been working HARD, carefully reading your poems over and over again, even consulting with poet laureates from around the world for advice. There have been no margaritas, no cigars, no male strippers, no lap dances, no jello wrestling with the male strippers, no chardonney, no singing - so don't believe any of it, it's ALL LIES!! Trust me, it's been serious hard work and we still have the strippers for another 20 hours so are making good use of them are not finished with our computations.

So go to sleep, rest your pretty heads - and know that your loyal judges will be singing, dancing, drinking working hard to come up with the top five. But be prepared, with all the carryone on we have left to do our work schedules tomorrow, we may not be announcing until Monday evening.
