That pretty much sums up poetry slam Bad!Slam!No!Biscuit!, held at the Phoenix Bar on Tuesday the 16th. Before we entered this den of words and depravity the only slams we'd been too were of a kinder, more sedate variety, so it was with shock, amusement and a little bit of awe that we watched poets brave the stage, only to be heckled by the unruly mob of poetry lovers and haters. In between poets we were entertained by a Spanish guitarist, a girl who walked over glass (plus other circus stunts) and the incoherent ramblings of that drunken guy in the corner that no one really likes. Canberra is such a cool hub of creativity and it's events like this that showcase it. Bad!Slam!No!Biscuit! takes place of the third Tuesday of every month and you should definitely check the next one out. I promise you'll be raving about the fun you had for the next few days. And I'm pretty sure there was free Kransky for first time poets. If that doesn't entice you, I'm not sure what will.
