I must have really gotten good at fooling people into thinking my opinion matters, because hot off of my stint juding the "Show Me What You Got" MC battle, next Friday I will be one of the judges at the "Word War" spoken word/poetry slam competition, along with Labtekwon, Olu Butterfly Woods and others. Spoken word isn't really my area of expertise, but the folks from The Baltimore Scene asked me to do it so I'll try to take it seriously and make the right decisions.
