Paroxysm does Australian Poetry Slam & Boxing in Sydney
With Paroxysm original bad-boy, Kami, making it to the final of the
National Australian Poetry Slam (in the Sydney Opera House no less!) we figured a quick Sydney trip was in order (nothing to do with one of the fights of the century being on the day before mind you).
We’re very happy to be cruising along with this years (and last years)
S.A. heat winner, Indigo (Ten Years of Things that Didn’t Kill Us).
On Tues the 1st of Dec. we’ll be going along to see the locals do
their thing at ‘Word in Hand’ held at the Friend I Hand Hotel, 58
Cowner St, Glebe. (02) 9660 2326
Wed. night is Danny Green vs Roy Jones Jr – so we’ve put up the ‘do
not disturb’ sign for that one.
Thursday the 3rd Dec. is the massive Australian Slam Final – about as
slick as spoken word gets. The overall winner will receive $5,000 and
a place at the Ubud Readers & Writers Festival in 2010, including
flights and accommodation. The overall runner-up will receive $500.
