BAD!SLAM!NO!BISCUIT! @ The Phoenix, 730PM Wednesday 20 April

BAD!SLAM!NO!BISCUIT!

The birthday edition

YES, you read right, THE BIRTHDAY EDITION.

In April we celebrate the birthdays of Emperor Go-Saga of Japan, Ludwig IV of Baveria who was a Roman Catholic Bavarian emperor, William Harvey an English physician and Charles de Saint-Évremond who was a French soldier!

Why?

‘Cause it is the BIRTHDAY EDITION OF BAD!SLAM!NO!BISCUIT! and Georg Mohr a Danish mathematician has his birthday in April too.

Now celebrating all those old guys birthdays may be AWEsome, but because we like to be more AWEsome than awesome we also bring you two feature acts:

Matt Hetherington
Now you may be thinking who is this Matt Hetherington?
he isn’t from ‘round these parts
(these parts being Canberra)
WELL HE IS A POET!
AND HE DID LIVE IN CANBERRA!

And because one feature act is not enough we bring you

Drew Walky,
who can play music on his guitar and sing at the same time!

Now for those that have got this far but are baffled about what this BAD!SLAM!NO!BISCUIT! is all about
BAD!SLAM!NO!BISCUIT! is a poetry slam,
that means we want your words on the Phoenix stage for TWO MINUTES for prizes, prizes donated by Impact Comics, Mind Games, Smiths Alternative Bookshop, Really Really Cheap stuff we find or AWEsome things people give us.

So TWO MINUTES.
And original material
And five judges
A Master of Conflict
A Score Adder
A microphone
WE WANT YOU
to perform
to judge
to drink
AND WIN PRIZES FOR YOUR AWE SOME WORDS.

So be at the PHOENIX at 730pm to sign up and perform your words,
to sign up to judge someone’s words,
to drink, to yell, to listen to people’s spoken words.
I think I am repeating myself, WHERE'S MY COFFEE!
And no props or music.
And remember it is also Clint Howards’ birthday, he is brother to Ron!
