THE LEGENDARY SANTA CRUZ INDI SLAM

POETS! (Yeah, that means you. I know you haven’t performed your stories ever or in forever, but I can see them about ready to burst out of you.) You should come say words to us! We have four rounds of word-saying. You should have enough varieties of poems to fill
1 minute
2 minute
3 minute &
4 minute slots!

Open sign up list!

Jason Bayani was the Grand Slam Champion of Berkeley and San Francisco in 2003 and has an MFA from St. Mary’s College. 15 time 3rd place finisher in several track meets. Spoke at the Democratic National Convention in 2008 from my living room to the TV with the volume off. The crowd loved it. Three time nominee for Jason Bayani’s “Best Dude Ever” award. 2nd most nominated person — God. Achieved a 10th degree black belt in Brazilian Joo Jitzu (not to be confused with Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu) under the tutelage of some guy who calls himself Chad Gracie (I do have a suspicion that he might not be an actual Gracie). Won the award for “Best Actor” by my mom when she came to see me in a 4th grade play. His works can be featured in the Write Bloody publication, Learn then Burn.

So come on out! We’d love to have you! [Really truly. (Or at least *I* would.)]

IT IS A $5 COVER! Oh, look, I just got the business out of the way.
But seriously, we’d love to see you and your pretty voice!
