Poetry Kapow! 6 - the seasonal climax! (7th December 2008)

Poetry Kapow! 6 - the panto special (oh, no it’s not! easy...) was a Kapow! of firsts for the organisers.

1. It was the first time we’d had artwork:

3. And it was the first time that our resident compère Dr. Absinthe bowed out of his previous duties and left Danni and I to the glare of the big stage. All those people...

Despite me recovering from major surgery, the brightness of the lights and the many, many stairs to climb (it seemed!), we pulled off a blinder (described by poetry guru MMT as his “favourite Kapow! ever”). We had seasonal wonderment, Open Mic surprises, sparkly lights, a poetry amanuensis (no, seriously), beermat poetry galore, and an extremely closely-fought Slam which resulted in “Sparky” Mark Niel being our overall winner, leaving Liz runner up (but the “People’s Choice”!) and plenty of other beermatters lapping up the other prizes.

How would we top that? With a Garden, of course!
