Canberra's Poetry Slam! BAD!SLAM!NO!BISCUIT! Wednesday 16 October

BAD!SLAM!NO!BISCUIT!

BAD!SLAM!NO!BISCUIT! WANTS YOUR WORDS ON STAGE FOR THE POETRY SLAM.

That is correct, your words, for two minutes, for prizes at The Phoenix Pub!

For those unsure what this all is!

This night is a stage for you with a microphone, an audience, judges, yelling, MCs and feature acts, no props, no music, all your original words, all for glory.

This October BAD!SLAM!NO!BISCUIT! brings you two feature acts.

Feature Act One – Amelia Filmer-Sankey

Sky watcher, student of environment and politics at ANU, local music lover and long time interpretative dance fiend. Regular performance poetry participant and amateur accordion player who is loving the process of finding her home in the city that is Canberra, and the stories to tell about it.

Feature Act Two – El Lukio

One Pot Punk Rock is a cooking show unlike any other. Armed with a pink luchador mask, a shifting accent, and a zest for life, host El Lukio dices and slices through recipes that are short, fast and delicious. Join him for a live cooking spectacular. This is life, this is passion, this is COOKING!

YES! Join BAD!SLAM!NO!BISCUIT! for the poetry slam of October 2013 in The Phoenix Pub, for prizes, for glory, for luchador masks, for the poetry at 7:30pm, no props, no music, your original material, TWO MINUTES.

Pots, Nails and Australia 2050

I continue as YouAreHere writer-in-residence; this time with Part One of an interview between El Lukio of One Pot Punk Rock and me as YouAreHere writer-in-residence. 

Watch the below video to learn how to cook a Puttanesca.

Since the El Lukio interview I have discussed Talon Salon with its writer Michele Lee, and met with Dr Nicky Grigg to learn a lot about the Australia 2050 event to be held at the ANU Food Co-op. Those two interviews are forthcoming. Discussing Australia 2050 with Dr Grigg has definitely been a highlight among the people I have so far met to discuss upcoming YouAreHere events.

As part of my research for the above interviews I discovered Beans and Cornbread fight.

Did not get to the bottom of if Tippi Hedron is the "Godmother" of Vietnamese nail salons.

And found an interesting website called The Conversation, which sounds suspicious to me, mainly due to an article where you can find this quote:

“Everyone will have a genetic profile at birth that will reveal, to a large extent, what diseases they might be prone to during their lifetimes.

This will help health facilitators – everyone will be assigned one of these – ensure individuals take appropriate care of themselves and that that those diseases to which they are prone ( from their genetic profiling ) can be detected early or that preventive measures can be maintained through out life .

The information will be linked to an individuals health savings account, which will provide the payment mechanism for health and wellness care.” – Peter Brooks

Ethan Hawke and Uma Thurman

The Converstation is where you will find several 2050 scenarios, and the conveners of Australia 2050 at the ANU Food Co-op are forthcoming contributors. 

YouAreHere writer-in-residence

As writer-in-residence for YouAreHere I interviewed Reuben Ingall. He is a Canberra music and electronic machine experimenter.

It's me, Reuben

Read the results at the YouAreHere website. Thanks to Reuben for taking the time to talk.

Today I interviewed El Lukio of One Pot Punk Rock. The results of the interview will be going to YouAreHere for them to determine where it best belongs.
