This month, Maui SLAM celebrates 'no more pencils, no more books, no more teachers' dirty looks' (you know, ye olde kiddie rhyme made even more-famous by Alice Cooper). But let's stick to only leaving out da stink eye part, because though school is out for summer, putting pencil to page is hipper than ever. Share your three-minutes-or-less piece of original verse (i.e. national slam poetry rules) and vie for prizes. Oh, and mic check all this out:
-- Poetry and spoken word competition where $100 cash prize is awarded to the winner!
-- Turntables by BOOMSHOT and visual alchemy by DOUGLAS Deboer!
-- Special guest JAHSUN of the Unsung Mighty Few, performing tracks off his recently released Handsome Boy Remix!
-- Plus live painting, prizes and guaranteed surprises!!
Note: Poets must check-in between 9-9:30pm to be eligible to perform. National slam poetry rules apply: all-original work performed in under three minutes.
