As it generally does, Denver sent two teams to the Nationals this year -- Nuba and the Mercury Cafe Slam Team -- both of which are pretty formidable competition; the Merc team brought home a win in 2006, meaning our little city now has two Nationals-winning teams. That's more winning than Charlie Sheen. And the Merc didn't fare too badly this year, either: The team made it to the semi-finals, putting it in at least the top 20 (definitive rankings have yet to be posted).
By the way, Slam Nuba was one of our five Westword MasterMinds this year, so you can thank us for calling it later.
