National Poetry Slam Fundraiser $10 Cover myspace.com www.austinslam.com coldtownetheater.com Fundraising extravaganza to help bring 75 teams of poets from across North America to Austin for five-day competition August 7-11. The National Poetry Slam, considered the “Super Bowl” of spoken word, is the annual gathering of top performance poets, representing cities throughout North America in five days of competition. The event will include an Improv Slam featuring four local improv troupes, organized by recent New Orleans transplants Coldtowne Theater; a guitar slam, featuring local musicians who will each get three minutes to wow the audience; an air guitar slam, featuring local performers doing their best interpretations of real live musicians; and a Price Is Right Slam, a format developed by San Antonio slammers to pay homage to the popular game show, contributing to the sometimes-irreverent reputation of slam. The National Poetry Slam weekly passes (including tickets to the individual finals and team finals, at the Paramount Theater, on August 10 and 11 respectively) will officially go on sale at the June 30 event. The event, being a fundraiser, will also give attendees an opportunity to bid on silent auction items and raffle packages featuring items by local companies supporting NPS. |
