The thing about the internet is that anyone at the bar, sitting next to you at the basement floor, or looking uninterested outside the Cantab entrance could be an internet celebrity. Get your own fifteen minutes at tonight’s event celebrating the timeline of internet communication, from AIM to LiveJournal to Twitter to Tik Tok. This will be a team-based competition with a series of “event” rounds encouraging various formats, group pieces, and a solid dose of silliness.

Interested in learning more, putting forth ideas, or signing up for/with a team? Email tonight’s slam director Myles Taylor.
