The last few weeks have been a surreal and impressive series of events squished into my soul.
First off, please know - I effin love these guys. Yeah, the ones to the left there on the page. They're awesome.
Although I will humbly admit the hairy one and the female one are a bit more impressive than me.
WE, yes WE as BRC went to Canberra recently for the first national Australian Poetry Slam summit. We got to hang out heaps and do guerrilla poems on the streets of Canberra with random beatboxing kids called SlimTim.
Oh, and then the poets arrived.
It was great to perform and be a part of workshops with heaps of amazing Australian poets as well as Ken Arkind and Jive Poetic from the States.
If you wanna know what's happening with slam over the next few years, well we're gonna have a few extra rounds for the finals in Sydney. And that's really it!
It puts us in a bit of a good spot with similar rules as the states, which - it was talked briefly about - could tie in with the Oz contingent for future international slam things.
