Hey every.Worders! Last event with every.Word Poetry for the month of October, and it’s a spooky one! We’re bringing back the Underground Poetry Slam hosted by the OGs (original goblins) Jasmine Games and Michael Hatcher (@jasminegamespoetry @themichaelhatcher). 😈✨ Meet us underground, in an intimate dimly lit room where 8 poets belt their poems with no mic. They all have bet on themselves, agreeing to each put in a set amount of cash into the pot. Then they go head to head, judged by audience applause. Last one standing is our victor and winner takes all. Who will it be? Competing poets who reserve online get in free. General admission is $20. Additional competitor considerations will be made show night if RSVP’d poets no-show via in-person waitlist. Intentionally intimate. Limited tickets! Get yours now. ✨ 🎃 Community kickback with a slam 🎃 Friday, October 30th 🎃 Doors open 7:30 | Slam 8 PM 🎃 The Sanctuary, 1110 Guadalupe St. (@austincreativea arts space) 🎃 Free Parking 🎃 Responsible Pre-Game encouraged 🎃 Costumes encouraged #poetry #atx #atxlife #poetryslam #slampoetry
