For those of you who haven’t made it out of your air conditioned houses all summer, the National Poetry Slam is coming to St. Paul in August. That means 84 teams from all over the nation and upwards of 400 poets will descend on St. Paul the first week of August and duke it out for the much coveted spot of best slam poetry team over five days of non-stop poetry events and competitions. You can learn more about slam and this years Nationals here http://www.nps2010.com.
Come out and support my team Punch Out Poetry, the first all women’s team. Our two preliminary bouts are:
Tuesday, August 3rd
Artist Quarter, St. Paul
7pm-9pm
We’re up against our home town rivals St. Paul Soapboxing, Urbana from New York, and Eclectic from Baton Rouge. This should be one of the hottest prelim matches of the events.
Wednesday, August 4th
Artist Quarter, St. Paul
9pm-11pm
This should be another raucous match against Piedmont from Winston Salem; Respect Da Mic from Charlotte, NC; and Slam Richmond, VA.
