Calgary Poetry Slam - January 25, 2007

The Calgary International Spoken Word Festival presents:

Calgary Poetry Slam!

Thursday, January 25, 2007 – 8:00 pm
Beat Niq Jazz & Social Club – 811 1st St SW
Hosts: Sheri-D Wilson & Mark Hopkins
$5

Last month, Zack Davis walked away from the Calgary Poetry Slam with prize money and a shot at joining the 2007/08 Calgary Slam Team, to represent Calgary in national international Slam competitions. This month, it could be you!

Every month, 10 poets storm the stage to share their words and beats with packed-out, cheering crowds. Judges from the audience score their performances in two intense rounds of poetic excellence, until a winner is crowned! With different local performers every time, Slam nights are impossible to predict and not to be missed!

If you want to Slam, bring a $5 registration fee and 3 poems (three-minute MAX, each) and sign up with Mark Hopkins. Sign-up will be first come, first served, so be sure to arrive early!
