SF, Ep. 15

February 13, 2009 — The 15th-ever Literary Death Match SF went experimental by turning the LDM’s editorial process transparent, doing away with bi-partisanship, and opening the floodgates on the evening, allowing audience members to participate in the literary savagery as readers and judges both!

 February 13, 2009—The judges look on like loving mothers.

The final winner? Stranger-turned-champion Luke Sykora who, teamed with a judge plucked from the crowd, beat Melissa Hansen (teamed with Literary Merit judge and conceptual artist Jonathan Keats) in a music-off--a finale that had the Elbo Room’s audience split into two teams, co-hosts Sky Hornig and Todd Zuniga playing music from an iPhone, with the first to shout out the song’s singer winning a point. The final score was Team Sykora 11, Team Hansen 7.
