Austin’s Slammin’
The slogan reads “Anything can happen in 3 minutes” for the National Poetry Slam to be held in the second week in August. 5 days of competition with the final battle at the Paramount Theater on Congress Street. More than 300 competitors come out from cities all over North America to “express” themselves.
This Saturday, June 30th from 8PM to 2AM, kicks off the pre-slam with a benefit bash at Ruta Maya World Headquarters located at 3601 S. Congress Avenue. It’s great coffee and a great cause. It’s a night filled with Austin’s finest performers and musicians duking it out to support the National Poetry Slam.
If you can’t make the benefit show, be sure to check out http://www.nps2007.com/ and http://www.austinslam.com/ for the ultimate battle next month.
