Slam Poetry

Anyone interested in going for a Slam Poetry event tomorrow evening at Velvet Underground?

Basically Slam poetry is a postmodern performance poetry, a form of spoken word performed at a competitive poetry event, called a "slam", at which poets perform their own poems (or, in rare cases, those of others) that are "judged" on a numeric scale by randomly picked members of the audience.

They have it on at Velvet every last Tuesday of the month. Cool stuff really...

Here's a really cool example of Slam poetry in action (which purportedly got this Apple employee fired)
