Beat Night tore my face off

Beat Night at The Press Room last night sure was special. It kicked ass, and didn't care about names. It rode you hard, then demanded a cigarette and a sandwich. But most of all, it reminded everyone there that there are some supremely talented poets on The Seacoast, and many of them were in the room. To commemorate a great night in front of a jam-packed audience, we have SEVEN videos from Beat Night!

These include one each from the Slam Boet himself, Beau Williams, the always vivacious Heidi Therrien, part-time creature of the night Jonathan Stoker, the intriguingly hirsute Mike Nelson, plus three of me, as I was one of the featured poets on this fine evening. Ding ding! All aboard the Selfish Express!

Remember that these and all of our (now many) videos are always available at StonePigeon.com, and please check out our Facebook Group! Until next time...

The Manchester Invasion begins! This month, we're featuring two members of the 2008 New Hampshire Slam Team. Slam Free or Die!

Mckendy Fils-Aime is a poet from Manchester, NH. When he's not causing trouble at his school, Southern New Hampshire University, you can find him at his house, which is located at an undisclosed location. On not so rare occasions, he can also be found at the Slam Free or Die reading in Manchester and the Cantab Lounge reading in Boston (when he can get there).

Mark Palos (aka The Colonel) is the host of Slam Free or Die @ the Bridge Cafe, an open mic poetry night in his hometown of Manchester, NH. He was the alternate for the 2007 NH Slam Team and a member and coach of the 2008 NH Slam Team. His influences include: Hunter S. Thompson, Chuck Palahniuk, Trent Reznor and Cormac McCarthy. He dreams of some day roaming the wasteland of a post-apocalyptic future in a modified Mustang in any endless search for gasoline.
