This Thursday, July 8th, is your chance to see two of the Bay Area's
hottest slam teams in action in a rare head to head bout. Come through
and catch the evenings feature - the perennial powerhouse Oakland Slam
team defending their home turf against the up and coming Life Sentence
squad.
We'll also have our patented wide-open-mic to set the show off. That's
where we all forget the judges and the hostess with the hotness;
Nazelah, welcomes poets, emcees, singers, commedians and maybe even
YOU to the mic. That's on top of the regular old open-slam, which is
the LAST qualifier for Oakland's iWPS Finals coming up in August after
Nationals. And you can keep you iPod in your purse, your soundtrack
for the evening will come from the bottomless pockets of the one and
only DJ Mr. G.
All this for the bargain price of $5! (before 8:30 or $7 after). You
can't afford to miss this show...
