Bend Poetry Slam Begins

Here it is kids. The Bend Poetry Slam is back underway and better than ever (hopefully). If you can't seem to read the Source, keep up with word on the street, or are a total geek, then this blog is for you. Keep checking in for up to date info on upcomming Slams, and news about past Slams.

What is Poetry Slam?
Origional spoken word performed by the artist live, on stage, in competition against other poets for prizes and glory. Poetry should be less than three minutes and memorized.

Here is what to expect in 06. We will have four qualifying rounds in Jan., Feb., March, and April, and two final rounds in May and June to select the Bend Slam team. The Team will compete at the West Coast Regionals and Nationals. Poets will qualify by earning points over the first four rounds, then be selected by elimination in the final two rounds.

So, if you've got the desire to strut your stuff on stage or you want to witness some of the best live entertainment in town...stay tuned for dates and times!
