Our next Slam
Monday January 5th
With a special guest host: 2008 St. Paul National Slam Team member,
EZRA
January's feature event will be: The Women Of The World Poetry Slam Showdown!!! WOWPS Brings together the 60 top female poets from around the world. It happens in March in Detroit, MI - and Soap Boxing has to determine its representative - the hard way - a showdown. Sierra DeMulder and Jenn Smileyface go toe to toe in a 3, 2, 1, poetic battle. The winner goes to Detroit to prove that St. Paul continues to be royalty in the world of Poetry Slam.
Go to the open mic - practice makes perfect.
*Note*
Sign-ups to compete now close at 8:00

We have to show mercy to those with day jobs.
Ill Chemistry - Desdamona and Carnage

December's Slam:
Heh heh heh - Damn I love my job.
We had a diverse field of poets including several Slam virgins going up against the veterans. Many kudos to the newbies - they held their own like pros. The title was claimed by one of the first timers - Gary Dop.
Ill Chemistry once again blew the crowd away. They have never failed to impress me, and lifted the roof off the AQ with ease. And if that wasn't enough, they came back for a second set at the end of the Slam, and things got even hotter. It was off the chain.
You should feel sooo bad that you missed it. Don't miss another Slam and you won't have to worry about missing what happens. Sheeeesh!
Special thanks to Slam friend - the Smitten Kitten!
