July Poetry Slam at Round Table in Garnerville NY -- $150 prize

We're currently holding a poetry slam the first Saturday of each month.

What's a poetry slam? It's a performance poetry competition judged by the audience. We use anonymous whole-room voting, so everybody in the audience gets to decide how the slam goes. CShep is hosting this one.

If you want to complete in the slam, bring at least 3 original poems, each of duration 5 minutes or less.

Show consists of:

• short open mic [4 people max]
• a poetry slam limited to 8 folk; the slam'll be 3 rounds with poets eliminated each round
• a $5-$10 cover (sliding scale: $10 if you can manage $10, otherwise $5)
• prizes: $150 for first place, $25 for second place

Sign-ups and doors open at 6:30 PM; sign-ups close at 7:00 and the show proper starts at about 7:02.

CART captioning is available with sufficient advance notice.
