nerd. word.
so as a long-time fan of the austin poetry slam, i feel it is my duty to tell y'all that ernie kline, one of the funniest slam poets i've ever heard is performing for the last time in austin tomorrow night before he moves far far away. my friend t (who will from this point forward be referred to as sophia so as to avoid detection from the parental units)and i will be going, and it would be lovely if you came. here's the info from slammaster mike henry...In addition to our usual Wednesday shenannagins, we have a super- special show this Friday night at the Hideout. One of those dream bills that just came together ... and probably your last chance to see Austin slam legend Ernie Cline rock the casbah before he and the amazing Susan Somers-Willett depart for the midwest. People, the time for SPOKEN NERD is upon us. Check it out...
******************************************
Austin Poetry Slam presents SPOKEN NERD: words by nerds Friday, May 28, 8 pm The Hideout / 617 Congress Hosted by Mike Henry
Buckle yourself in for a wildly hilarious onslaught of nerd-friendly poetry. Do you have a soft spot for Star Wars? Collectible lunch boxes? The internet? Video games? Devo? The eighties in general? Cult movies? Air Wolf? Horn rimmed glasses? Novelty T-shirts? Action figures? This is the show for you.
FEATURING:
Ernie Cline
Shappy Seasholtz (NYC)
Cristin O'Keefe Aptowicz (NYC)
Mike Whalen
Genevieve Van Cleve
And geeky offerings from Matthew John Conley, Andy Buck, Liz Jones, Big Poppa E., Danny Strack, David Hendler, Peter Nevland, Krissi Reeves, Susan Somers-Willett and many more nerds to be announced.
Plus Scrabble, geek trivia, fantastic giveaways courtesy of the fine folks at Hog Wild Collectibles, and the Atari 2600 battle.
Folks, this is one for the history books. And it's being shot for a DVD. I guarantee you a night of side-splitting laughter. If I'm wrong, you can hang me by my gym locker with my underwear and stick my head in the toilet.
LONG LIVE NERDS!
MAKE MINE MARVEL!
EVERYBODY WANG CHUNG TONIGHT!
Alright ... see y'all soon,
Mike Henry
