Word.
November 18, 2005



Ms. O'Malley and the Hill City Rockers hosted "WORD!" at Duluth's Pizza Luce on Thursday, November 10. Billed as the open mic to end all open mics, "WORD!" heard the Duluth poetry scene colliding with the Duluth hip-hop scene. Nobody was hurt in the altercation, although several people were reported to have enjoyed a delicious mashed potato pizza.

That was really super cool! Please tell me that someplace there are t-shirts that say "...where hip-hop and poerty collide in Duluth" because I'll buy like ten.

This was great...When I lived in America, I loved to go to readings...I really do miss it...

This is cutting edge! As Ezra Pound said: 'Poetry is news that stays news.'
This should be the start of something quite unique along the shores of Lake Superior.

The Revolution will not be televised, but it surely was vloged in Duluth.
