Jan. 22nd! The Next Round!



Thursday January 22nd, come to the Spill for another night of poetry, performance, heartbreak and laughter.

Last month's poetry slam winner and purveyor of awesomeness, Meagh Culkeen will be hosting the show, with PLUG poetry team member Fraser as our sacrificial poet.

Sign-up at 7:30 and show at 8! Bring two poems to compete!

Show up early for a seat and if you think you might want to try being an audience judge!

PWYC/$5. all ages. licensed.

(If some of you haven't been before, a poetry slam is a mock competition between poets. There are two rounds of 8-12 poets, who each perform a poem and are then given a score from 1.0 (meh) - 10.0 (fuck yeah!) by a panel of five randomly selected audience judges. Often emotionally and politically charged, the audience is expected and allowed to cheer and jeer the judges and the poets and each other. Expect any and all styles of poetry from folk ballads to hip-hop. And remember - the points aren't the point, the poetry is the point!)
