Nceda ujoyine iimbongi zaseCalifornia kwiZikolo zoluntu oluvula imakrofoni ngo-7pm, ngoMgqibelo, nge-23 kaOkthobha.  Lo mnyhadala uyinxalenye yoluhlu lwekota lwemisitho evulelekileyo yemakrofoni eyenzelwe ukukhuthaza uluntu phakathi kothungelwano lwethu, kunye nokuqaqambisa iimbongi zethu ezintle.  Umnyhadala ngamnye uya kujongisa imbongi enye okanye ezimbini ezivela kuthungelwano lweCalPoets njengabafundi abafakiweyo, kunye ne-emcee (ekwavela kuthungelwano). Ngomhla wama-23, abafundi bethu abafakiweyo baya kuphehlelela umsitho ngokufunda imizuzu eli-15 (nganye) kwaye emva koko siya kutshintshela kwi-mic evulekileyo.
