Open Mic ft. FREAK SHIT vs THIN ICE Slam!

THIS WEDNESDAY… it’s team FREAK SHIT vs team THIN ICE! The Freak Shit Versus Thin Ice Slam: Innovation is the life blood of our weird little show, and something we like to call out when we hear it. Our esteemed curator has developed two broad categories. Freak shit is the surreal time and space bending strangeness that poets occasionally delve into. Thin Ice, is a piece that isn’t quiiiiiteeee a poem. We figured, why not have them fight? 5 pairs of poets will square off, approaching original prompts from either the freak shit or thin ice perspective. The winning team will be declared the Weird Champions of Weirdness. YOUR MATCHUPS ARE:

Sac: Michael F Gill Vs. Michael F Gill: The New York Meats

Bobby Crawford Vs. Myles Taylor: “ I don’t know, it was like that when I got here.

Kay Miranda Vs. Abbie Langmead: Texas

Meg Ford Vs. Jarvis Subia: Big Mood

Winston Liao Vs. TJ Jones: 20 Minute Work Out

& last but certainly not least, Amy Vs. Shivank: Linear Time

Accessibility information: The portion of the Cantab where the poetry show is hosted is accessible by one flight of stairs. There is seating available as well as standing room. We highly encourage the use of masks and have them available for anyone who wants one, but they are not required, per venue management.

There are two single-stall, gender neutral bathrooms. Both require stepping onto a slight ledge to access. No flashing lights are used and no music is played over the speakers throughout the show; in general, the room is dimly lit/dark throughout, but can often get loud from conversations occurring. Please message us with any specific questions and we will get back to you ASAP.
