Well, we survived the National Poetry Slam in Austin, TX despite the 100+ degree weather, a (thankfully haox) bomb threat, and 1.5 million bats (give or take a bat). Sadly, Ann Arbor’s intrepid team of LOGIC the Tiny Dancer, Karrie Waarala, and Matt Earnst emerged less than victorious, but far from the bottom of the pack. I’ll see if I can get them to write a recap of NPS for your reading pleasure.

This just in…the September feature…

SLAM ALERT: Terror Level Blue !!!

When fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying the cross.

Matt Smith

• Detroit’s original Magic Bag Slam Master
• Veteran of the ’94 Ann Arbor Slam Team
• Host of the fabled Arion Series at rabbles coffeehouse
• A latter day Tiresius, arisen like a specter from the day, Smith will premiere his political diatribe:

Songs from SATURN:
They Tried to Kill Us–Business As Usual–&–Terror Level BLUE!!!

R.T. Tope, emerging guitar stylist on the Detroit Jazz Scene, will accompany Smith’s harangue.

Smith and Tope make a must hear event to launch the 06-07 Slam Season;
