Hey Fam,
FINALS is TONIGHT!! You probably already knew that though, huh. But
did you know that this years finals are at the town's freshest and
phreshest live performance spot The New Parish, in the bustling Uptown
Arts District? This is the same spot that Dave Chappelle recently sold
out 10 shows in a row. What, you didn't know that Dave was in town for
a whole week last month? Guess you're not "friends" with folks on
FaceBook huh, well you should be! We'll put links at the end so you
don't miss out next time one of these unadvertised shows comes around.
TONIGHT everyone's favorite hostess, that dynamic diva Nazelah
Jeffries will keep the crowd clapping, the show moving and everyone
laughing. Her partner in crime, Slam Selecta DJ MR. G will bee there
too, scouring the crates for the perfect aural accent to drop in your
ear-hole. We also have an extra special treat for you - HBO Def Poet,
'04 Individual Slam Champion and all around dope individual Sonya
Renee will bring her awesomeness to the O. That's on top of the actual
FINALS! Where YOU pick the team to represent Oakland at The National
Poetry Slam this August in St. Paul MN. This year's finalists are a
cross section of wily vets and fresh faced rookies, winners of big
money slams and even our first ever tandem!
TONIGHT's Finalists are: Aaron Gardner (Oakland '07, San Jose '01),
Stephen Meads (Oakland '09, SF '08), Joyce Lee (Oakland '09), Jason
Bayani (Berkeley '07 - '08, SF '03, San Jose '02), Dre & Patrick aka
Jackhammer Serenade* (Fairfield '09), Milani Pelley (Oakland '09 WoWps
