Kickstarter

Thanks everyone!  We just hit our goal and we'll be able to send those awesome kids to San Francisco for Brave New Voices.  You're all amazing.  We cannot thank you enough!!

There's only three days left!  Let's kick it up a notch and send out the link to our Kickstarter page to everyone we know.  We can do this!

Shannon Leigh and her mother, Sheila Siobhan started the Texas Youth Word Collective together to give the youth of an Austin an outlet to express themselves. Check out this video made by former Austin Poetry Slam slam master, Mike Henry in honor of Shannon and her work: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-IM3-kvvEwY

Wristbands are in and they are sweeeet!  Check 'em out!

We've only got 10 days left and over $3500 left to raise.  Please send this out to your friends and family - every little bit helps, even now and we'd love to be able to send these amazing, deserving kids to Nationals in San Francisco!

CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR 2011 THEYSPEAK SLAM TEAM!!
