Channel: Silver Persinger
Date: 22/10/2019

From event description, "Fifth Episode of the 2019 season of SOVTHERN GOTHIC FVTVRIST HAIKV SLAM  at Electric Nomad Dance Studio, held to coincide with RVA Zinefest, bringing  a completely free for all communal event built around wild style haiku slam utilizing haiku format (seventeen syllables or less) to have a single-elimination come-one come-all tournament where combatants build and/or destroy through short poetic bursts.
IN THE REGULAR SLAM TOURNAMENT - you will need around 20 or so haiku to compete thru the end, but you may be eliminated quickly only having used 2 or 3 depending on skill levelz. Competitors go head-to-head, single haiku vs. single haiku as a round. Early matches are best out of 3 rounds, final four is best out of 5, and the final is best out of 7.
IN THE OPEN BATTLE ROYAL for those eliminated early as well as willing onlookers who have decided to just dip their toes in the waters, you will only need 3-6 haiku maybe, in a single round format eliminating people one by one until there is a winner.
Your host Dirtgod Raven Mack will also defend his claims as Intercontinental Cruiserweight Champion of Performative Haiku in a HAIKU LIFE/DEATH MATCH, against an as yet undetermined top creative force, in a Best of 19 showdown.

Come kick it with your cousins, those you know and those you don't, in a safe and sober space, to share our creative expressions in short 17 syllable or less outbursts."
