For all of you who missed it. We had our very first tie for first. That's right. Dana and Braydon squared off for an impromptu final, which ended a great night bolstered by a wide variety of poems, and of course, the chilling, supportive peterborough crowd.
There was a confession of love to economists, there was a poignant observation that contrary to the prevailing opinion, strands of grass that appear to be trampled flat by boots may actually be drunk from drinking too much sun light. We also were blessed with a great piece seeking to expand our concepts of sexual identity, culminating in a shot out to the spill for it's non-gender specific washrooms.
And oh yes, the Spill. Get out and support this wonderful hot bead of local art and activism: if you haven't heard, bills are piling up, and we are in jeopardy of losing this essential cultural centre piece. There is a donation jar, and a whole bunch of taste treats, along with the continual parade of great performances.
Next Slam: April 15, 2010. Sign up at 7:30. And just a reminder, we will be holding our finals in May, which will give you a chance to go to the Canadian Festival of Spoken Word in Ottawa, plus other super fun poetry extravaganza's. Yep, Extravaganzas.
See you in April,
Fr
