Schedule of Events for NorthBEAST 2010

Friday, October 22, 2010

• Uhm.
• Hey, we're not doing much, but if you're a poet, or a fan, and you're around, make some noise on Facebook and we'll try to meet up at one of the local hangouts!

Saturday, October 23, 2010

• All volunteers should meet at 10AM at the Bridge Café. Walk-ins welcome. Please contact Sam Teitel if you would like more info about volunteering.
• The Main Event: back-to-back 4x4 team poetry slams at the Bridge Café, 1117 Elm Street.
  • Doors open at 6PM. Show starts soon after that.
  • Admission is $5 general public, $3 for students. All ages are welcome, although we caution that poets may visit dark alleyways of the English language.
  • The first slam should last 60-75 minutes, and then we'll bring on the second set of teams and do it all again! Second round teams should be in the Bridge long before 8PM.
• Many NorthBEAST poets will have books, CDs, and stickers available for sale. Fans and supporters are encouraged to chat with the poets after the show. Please don't be shy!
• The After Party: We'll be at McGarvey's, 1097 Elm St., for celebrations and lamentations. McGarvey's is 21+, so please bring your ID.

Sunday, October 24, 2010

• Sam Teitel, veteran of two National Poetry Slam teams, will lead a writing workshop in the French Building at the New Hampshire Institute of Art.
• The Finals: Top-scoring poets from the Saturday bouts compete for the title of 2010 NorthBEAST Individual Champion! Finals take place at 6PM, New Hampshire Institute of Art, Auditorium of the French Building, 148 Concord St. Admission is $5 general public/ $3 with valid student ID (any accredited school, not just the Institute of Art).
• After the show ends (and possibly during the show) we'll have a merchandise table where fans can purchase books and CDs from their favorite NorthBEAST poets.
• After-party TBA. It's Sunday night, though, and some of the poetry teams have long drives ahead of them.
