JC Slam, poetry slam Jc Fridays

Get ready for another season of amazing poetry, eclectic hosting, and fantastic features! This year JEREY CITY SLAM is starting the slam season right, on a JC FRIDAY! As if that was not enough, we are proud to have CAROLINE ROTHSTEIN as the feature for our season opener!

It has been a long summer for some, so here is a review on the slam rules:
* Maximum 8 poets to a slam
* The time limit for your poem is 3:10. After that t...he point deductions begin!
* There will be two rounds cumulating in a final round where the top two poets will face off.

As it is a new season, we encourage all poets to come out swinging with new material!

Because this is such a special event-- Slam Season beginning, amazing feature, JC FRIDAY-- This week's slam will be held at the amazing 143 Columbus location! Come for the poetry and stick around... you never know what is going to happen on a JC FRIDAY!
