SLAMMIN': Each Tuesday night at Re-Bar the Seattle Poetry Slam hosts an evening jam packed with word-y goodness. Here's how the night goes: 8:30 pm starts the open mic portion, then a featured poet takes the stage at 9 pm (tonight the featured poet is Robyn Bateman) and at 10 pm the poetry war also known as the "slam" begins. The rules for the slam are simple: 1. Poets must perform their own original work; 2. No props, costumes or musical accompaniment; and 3. Poets have three minutes to perform their piece. Each poet earns a score awarded by randomly-picked judges from the audience. The winning poets get prizes and a chance at representing Seattle on the national and international level. Prepare yourself for a battle royale of words and poems and thoughts and feelings.
8:30 pm // Re-Bar // $5
