We're coming up on another another amazing night of spoken word!
We'd like to welcome back all the students from the university - and say hello to the all the new faces!
For those of you who don't know, you can choose to sign up for the open-mic or sign-up to compete for the $100 prize!
You can choose to be a perform, you can choose to judge, but you will most certainly be floored by the wordplay coming from behind the microphone!
Door's open / poet sign-up: 8:00 PM
Open Mic: 8:30 PM
The $100 Poetry Slam: 9:00 PM
$10 - $5 sliding scale.
*** YOUTH ARE WELCOME! ***
We will have two rounds for the poetry slam, so be sure to have two pieces ready - but remember, you only have 3 minutes behind the microphone before point deductions!
After the slam, be ready for some dancing, conversation - and remember, the doors don't close until 2:00 AM - so get ready for some partying!
(Note: For more info on SLAM, SLAM rules and Guelph Spoken Word check out our facebook home page or website http://guelphspokenword.com )
Our feature performer for September is the incomparable Tomy Bewick!
He's definitely not the kind of poet who is going to let you zone out! Tomy has been known to wander through the room and even jump on chairs just to get his point across.
