Nexus Online Poetry Slam...

Posted November 14, 1999 7:33 PM.

Announcing the first ever Nexus Online Poetry Slam! All the details are in the Core. I went to see Fight Club yesterday evening. Then I came home and wrote a long, complicated and detailed epinion about it. And then my computer crashed. Epinion lost. Today I have been visiting Pippa in Highgate. She is an old flatmate of mine who has moved into a flat with another old flatmate of mine purely for the purposes of making me neurotic with flat in-jokes and knowing looks. I'm kidding of course... Under the instruction of megnut, I went to find out my Wu-Tang Clan name. I was less than thrilled to find out it was "Dizzy Cow". Here's a few of my other friends. (If you don't believe me - check it for yourself!)

Nick Cornwell - Furtive Ventriloquist
Chris Bell - Ol` Filthy, Sweaty Bastard
Max Prutzel-Thomas - Temporary Spastic
Kate Myers - The Nation`s Favourite Galoot
Toby Stone - The Littlest Vandal
Pippa Sturt - Sweaty Butcher
Melanie Goldblatt - Tha Ever So Weary Assistant

Some things get me very unhappy. One of them is being completely crushed by someone else's pure design superiority. I am in awe of saturn.org.
