It’s what you’ve been waiting for — the beautifully delicious SLAM FINALS, featuring the top 8 poets from the season and multi-talented C.R. Avery from Vancouver.

It all goes down at Hugh’s Room, 2261 Dundas St. W, just south of Bloor (free parking at Loblaw’s across the street).
Doors 6pm, slam 8pm. $12 at door.

Hugh’s Room staffers informed me that seating is SOLD OUT and it’s standing room only now, so I highly suggest you arrive waaaay before 8pm to make sure you get a good sightline.

Yes, there’s the bloody TTC strike but I got faith in all the spoken word fans out there. No one has told me they’re cancelling yet, performer or pre-ticket buyer. Business as usual, insanity as unusual.

There’ll be a merch table selling hot hot hot CDs and books so bring extra cash!

Can you feel the power-passion rumbling through your veins? Know what that is? No, not diabetes but the anticipation of seeing some incredible poetry hit the stage tonight. It will be epic.

See you tonight, and look for an update to this space on Sunday or Monday to find out who won (if you’re foolish enough to miss the Finals tonight).
