PRESS RELEASE:
First Thursdays continues its "no rules" summer with another quality show on July 2nd. All team pieces, musical accompaniment, props, etc. are ALLOWED. However, the 3 minute time rule will still remain in effect.

The feature poet for this show is Jason Bayani, a mainstay in the Bay Area spoken word community who has earned a place on several National slam teams and was the 2003 SF/Berkeley Grand Slam champion. Known for his heartfelt, impassioned, and emotionally gritty performances, Bayani is a multi-faceted writer wonderfully at ease mending the roots of his Filipino heritage, exploring the absurdity of the human condition, and exalting in the altruistic nature of the working class. His publishing credits include Rattapallax Magazine, Maganda Magazine, and the 2004 National Poetry Slam anthology. As always, the night will be hosted by Kealoha, and will feature live painters, massages in the lounge, and a guest DJ providing turntable sorcery throughout the evening.

Pipeline Cafe is located at 805 Pohukaina Street (near intersection with Cooke St). Doors open at 7:30pm, and the show starts at 8:30pm. Admission is $3 before 8:30pm and $5 after. For more info, check out the website at www.HawaiiSlam.com, send an email to info@HawaiiSlam.com, or call 387-9664.
