Alternately hosted by JRose and The Bee.
Doors open at 6:30 P.M. Slam takes place from 7:00 to 9:00 P.M.
HOW IT WORKS?
- Poets have 3 MINUTES to perform one original poem per round (any topic of their choosing).
- Sign up inside the club (at the stage, after doors open), the list is based on a first-come first-serve basis.
- Scores range from a 0.0 to a 10.0 -- judges are randomly chosen from the audience.
- No musical accompaniment, no props on stage.
- Two rounds -- the top 5 from the first round advance to the second round.
- Winner (combined score from both rounds) receives $20 cash and gets an invite to the the Nuyorican Poets Café's new monthly Friday grand slam
