It's that time ladies and gentlemen. Time to break out the bat'leth, the light sabre and your buckeroo bonzai decoder ring. It's time to hear the little pitter Harry Potter of tiny hobbit feat. Its time for 3.14159265358979323846264338327950288…
It's time for the Annual Vancouver Nerd Slam.
The rules are standard except costumes are encouraged and the poem has to be Nerdy. If it is not or not nerdy enough the poet will be chanted off the stage to the tune of "NOT A NERD! NOT A NERD! NOT A NERD".
If you have questions as to whether your poem is nerdy enough please don't heistate to contact myself or my co-slammaster Duncan Shields via facebook.
Oh and for the first time ever, as our feature for the show we have the National Poetry Slam Nerd Slam founder, Chicago's Robbie Q.
Robbie Q. Telfer is a touring performance poet, having been a featured performer/reader in hundreds of venues across North America and Germany - most recently with the spoken word experience The Junkyard Ghost Revival.
Previous work appears in the American Book Review, Octopus Magazine, cream city review and decomP magazinE, as well as several spoken word anthologies and DVDs. He was an individual finalist at the National Poetry Slam in 2007 and he co-wrote the video game Ninjatown DS. He lives in Chicago where he curates the Encyclopedia Show and is the Director of Performing Arts for Young Chicago Authors, a not-for-profit that gives creative writing opportunities and mentorship to Chicago teens. His first published collection of poetry, Spiking the Sucker Punch, will be released in the Fall of 2009 from Write Bloody.
