We come to the close of our summer of slam with the last of our three Nationals-style 4×4 matches– four teams in four rounds, the ultimate balanced format for a poetry battle of strategy, emotion, and wits. This final shot for the venue team to practice for competition at the National Poetry slam will feature three other local teams, and of course include your home team.
Our field on this night will include:
- Crosstown rivals from the Lizard Lounge Poetry Jam;
- The dangerous rookies of the Mill City Slam;
- The cold-winded hearts from the north, Slam Free or Die;
- And your own beloved home team!
This show is our last team slam of the summer and will have a slightly shortened open mic and will fill quickly, so we advise arriving for door time at 7:15 to get a seat. Cover charge is $5 to help raise funds for our team to travel to Nationals in Denver this August!
This show in our weekly Wednesday series takes place at the Cantab Lounge, 738 Massachusetts Ave. in Cambridge. Doors for the show open at 7:15. The open mic begins at 8:00 and the slam begins at approximately 10:00. The show is 18+ (ID required) and the cover charge is $5.
