NEWS:
SLAMicide to take indefinite Hiatus

Greetings Slamicide Family,

Ever since X and O closed, we at Slamicide have tried our best to provide you with a worthy weekly show. We struggled with low attendance in Fells Point, but we were still able to send a fantastic team to Nationals. Unfortunately, since we moved back to Charles Village in the Den we have had a difficult time sustaining regular audience members and regular poets. We had hoped that going to an alternating schedule would help as would the workshops; neither of these initiatives worked to bring in new poets or audience members. We dumped the remaining money that we had into advertising as well as some of our personal funds; there has been no change in interest.

Therefore it is with profound sadness that we announce that the Slamicide poetry series will be going on indefinite hiatus effective July 1st. Please note that we will keep the venue certified with Poetry Slam Incorporated, and perhaps at some point we will bring the series back, however at this point it is not financially possible to continue the series as it is no longer a self sustaining venture.

This means that June 21, 2009 will be the last show. As such we will be holding an open mic, feature, and three round slam. The winner of the slam will serve as the Individual World Poetry Slam representative in Berkeley, California this fall. We hope that you will join us to help celebrate one of Baltimore longest running poetry series.
