In retrospect, it was inevitable that this would happen: take a town known for world-class beer and national champion slam poetry teams, toss in a drinkin' spelling bee, and voila! We have our first (to my knowledge) drunk poetry slam. On July 2 at the Artists' Quarter, the Soap Boxing slam poetry team—recently unseated from its back-to-back national championship dynasty—will "compete against the audience in drinking games while performing (with diminishing returns) for your amusement." If nothing else, it's gotta be better than Bye Bye Liver.

Coverage of issues and events affecting Central Corridor communities is funded in part by a grant from the Central Corridor Collaborative.
