About Palatine Poetry Slam

The Palatine Poetry Slam was started in 2004 by a Wm Fremd High School Student named Adam Babcock. Our current slam master is Junior Stephen Whitfield. We've been a national competitor several times, but this year (sadly) our team just couldn't make it.

The Palatine Poetry Slam is a place where anyone, regardless of age, sexual orientation, religion, or skin color, can get up on stage and be heard uncensored. The Open Mic portion of each Slam event invites all kinds of performers: musicians, comedians, short story writers, poets, etc. We try our best to bring in quality featured performers from all over the country, and in some cases, from all over the world. Come check us out!

Billy from the Boondocks	Jul 14 2007 12:23 AM Started a couple summer's ago as Palatine's contribution to the pre-National Poetry Slam warm-up circuit, the Palatine Poetry Slam Grudge Match was the best way for an all-ages crowd to witness an all-star event while giving team Palatine a chance to warm up for the big festival and competition. Mental Graffiti/Chicago won the first event and last year, Milwaukee were the victors. Renamed the Great Lakes Classic, slam mistress Andi Kauth actually co-signed her team mate and tag team partner's- me- audacity. Since the Palatine slam is bringing in some of the best and rising performance poets from Chicagoland, why not invite another couple teams from the area to get their battle on for a little prize before [4 of 5 teamsgo to] NPS '07 Austin? Why not give it a waaayyy cooler name? Why shouldn't you show up for just $5 to see... CHICAGO-GREEN MILL CHICAGO- MENTAL GRAFFITI PALATINE SPOKEN WORD U. of Minneapolis and the defeding champions MILWAUKEE Not only is there a 3-figure prize to the winning team, but a short open mic and a very special auction. The members of team Palatine will be auctioned off for a dancing date in Millenium Park with the money going to support our trip to Dallas [Dallas Invitational Poetry Slam] and Austin. It's all Tuesday, July 24th at Durty Nellies- 180 Smith St. in Palatine starting at 6:00pm sharp. Come help the Palatine Poetry Slam make this annual event a destination event for teams on their way to the National Poetry Slam
