RASP Holiday Potluck & Poetry Slam ("Island Style")

Redmond Association of Spokenword (RASP) is having an island-style holiday celebration, and you're our guests!

Please join us for an evening holiday celebration with a party snack potluck … and …

an Island-Style Slam* poetry contest!

Please join us in Room 207. Bring a side dish or salad, we will provide cake and beverages.

*An Island Style Slam presents three words (or six, or nine, depending on the host) for a nominal "price" that goes into the prize kitty. As fast as competitors can, they write a poem that contains all three/six/nine words and conforms to any poetic form. Or participants can join together in teams to share creation of the poems. The Slam has been a regular feature at RASP since our beginnings, and it's always a rewarding experience, in the sense of being fun, or—for winners—a few dollars more than you started with.

Sponsored by the City of Redmond and the RASP community.
