The first anniversary show celebrating one year of Bill Brown's 1-2-3 Slam, Canada's only regularly running poetry slam in the 1-2-3 format. It takes place at Avant Garde in Ottawa's Byward Market on September 10, with poet sign-up at 7:30 pm and the slam at 8 pm SHARP.
Members of the Lanark County and Ottawa slam teams take on all comers in a head-to-head, 1-2-3 slam bonanza! Come and check out Ian Keteku, Poetic Speed, Open Secret. Brandon Wint, Rusty Priske, Tammy Mackenzie, Emily Kwissa, Ken Kicksee, Monica Squires and Danielle K.L. Gregoire in an event that's not to be missed!
If you think you have what it takes to come in against these slam titans to claim the big prize, then bring your best 1, 2 and 3 minute poems for the occasion (you'll need 4 poems altogether -- an extra 3-minute poem if you make the final round is necessary for this special BB123 Slam). And if you walk in and win, you claim TWO Bill Browns! Yes, that's right, Bill ... and his twin!
All the proceeds from the show (including the final prize if one of the slam team members wins the event) will be contributed towards the cost of plane tickets for both teams to attend CFSW 2009 in Victoria!
And if you don't know who Bill Brown is ... you better ask somebody!
