BAD!SLAM!NO!BISCUIT! @ The Phoenix, 730PM Wednesday 18 April
The 18 April 2012 BAD!SLAM!NO!BISCUIT! poster |
BAD!SLAM!NO!BISCUIT! is a poetry slam.
GREETINGS HUMANS!
Welcome to the BAD!SLAM!NO!BISCUIT! invitation
And you know what that means
IT COULD BE McSLAM TIME
But probably won’t be
That means two minutes, a microphone, a stage, five judges, an audience, The Score Adder, and THE MASTER OF CONFLICT
All so you can perform, listen, ignore or drink to
original material
with no props
McSLAM IT DOWN
Or not
Whatever that means
Now, just so you all know, we at BAD!SLAM!NO!BISCUIT! are not content to provide you with the opportunity to perform, listen, ignore or drink to
WORDS
No
this month we bring you two feature acts too
ONE:
direct from sunny across the border
He is your hometown, my hometown, their hometown
with a split mix-tape
So don’t slop when you eat ‘cause he will be blowing things apart
with some real real voodoo
One Man Bandito
not your fake voodoo
He is
BACON CAKES
!!!
And, because like above we said we have two feature acts
WE HAVE TWO
this is the number two feature act (but not in a pejorative sense):
EDDY BURGER
Eddy Burger is a writer of funny and experimental poetry, spoken word, stories and short plays. He is an anti realist, absurdist and champion of the imagination. His work has been published in journals and CD anthologies, including Unusual Work, Cordite, Meanjin, Going Down Swinging and Voiceprints, and he has had chapbooks published by the Melbourne Poets Union and Small Change Press. Eddy has been a regular feature on the spoken word stage for over 15 years and is a past winner of the Melbourne Fringe Festival Spoken Word Award.
So be at the Phoenix Pub with your original material, your no props, your McSlam happy meal, your two minutes, your audience of faces, your legs flapping, your kung fu in the bedroom moves, your liquorice all-sorts for poetry, for your MCs Andrew Galan and JACINTA, for your chance to drink and listen to EDDY BURGER and BACON CAKES! FOR THE CHANCE TO YELL A NUMBER THAT IS ten or NEGATIVE INFINITY be at BAD!SLAM!NO!BISCUIT!
Really, McSlam time

Words and pictures
MAYDAY magazine has published the poem
Wrong Side of the Road.
Wrong Side of the Road.
MAYDAY magazine |
They have also published a series of artworks. one piece includes a tank; the art is not by me.
Meanwhile Geoff Manaugh, on his BLDBLOG, writes about intelligent geotextiles (which are not talking teacloths) that:
"The "perimeter detection ring" examined above, for instance, would instead be used to repel or otherwise blind "intruding" UAVs* and UGVs**; this could be used for everything from keeping a foreign power's drones out of your sovereign airspace to preventing the IRS*** from flying drones over your suburb for property tax purposes."
Tablecloths against taxes!
And that: "What appears to be a garden is a computational geotextile interacting with driverless ground vehicles miles away."
Blankets for road-works!
Being that “In mythological terms, this would be the geotextile as talisman, or terrestrial ring of protection.”
Tomato shade solution against illegal aliens!
Go read some poetry at MAYDAY magazine.
