2011 Neo Soul Slam Team

Needs Your Support!!

 

Thank you for consideration.

 

My name is Herman Mason, and I am the owner of South Flavas Entertainment and the creator of Neo-Soul Lounge. I am very honored to have the 2011 Neo Soul Slam Team represent Austin, Texas at the 2011 National Poetry Slam competition in Cambridge, Massachusetts, August 8-14. They will be competing against 83 teams from all over the US, Paris and Canada. They have been practicing non-stop since the team was announced in May 2011. Practicing is probably not the correct word as the process more closely resembles boot camp. They have fun but are serious about winning and I believe this is their year.

 

It was because of the support of the Austin community Neo-Soul Slam Team went to the National Poetry Sam Championship for each of the last 5 years. Below is our competitive record:

 

2006 – 2nd in the Nation

2007 – semifinals, finished 20th

2008 – semifinals, finished 14th

2009 – semifinals, 5th in the Nation

2010 – Finals, 4th in the Nation

 

Neo Soul is the only team in the history of the National Poetry Slam to make the semifinals in every year.

 

They could not have done it without you and your support. They are once again reaching out to you, our greatest supporters, to get the team to the Championship. Please consider the following sponsorship levels:

 

Slam Champ    $500 or more

You will be recognized on Neo Soul’s webpage, southflavas.com, and at the monthly poetry slam; a “Are You Ready for the Next Poet” t-shirt; a signed copy of Brian  Francis’ book, Manuscripted and a big hug from our coach Funky Mike Whalen.

 

Slam Finalist    $100- $499

You will be recognized on Neo Soul’s webpage, southflavas.com, and at the monthly poetry slam; a “Are You Ready for the Next Poet” t-shirt and a big hug from our coach Funky Mike Whalen.

 

Slam Poet        $10-$99

You will be recognized on Neo Soul’s webpage, southflavas.com, and at the monthly poetry slam and a yes a big ole hug from our coach Funky Mike Whalen.

 

Your donations will help with travel and lodging. Our best estimate is that team expenses will be $3,500 for the week-long competition. Each team member contributes $300 of their own money and is responsible for the cost of meals and NPS registration.

 

The truth is we are grateful for any donation you are willing to give. You can pay by check made out to South Flavas Entertainment (memo/note 2011 Team) or by using this website.

 

Sincerely Yours,
