“If you’ve got a hangover from the Women of the World Poetry Slam, then Writing Wrongs has a cure for what ails you. Sierra DeMulder and Colin Gilbert are giving a double feature!

Sierra DeMulder has had one of the most successful years in poetry slam’s recent history. After being on the St. Paul National Poetry Slam Championship Team in 2009, Sierra followed that up by becoming a finalist at both the 2010 Individual and Women of the World Poetry Slams.

Colin Gilbert is a multiple Dallas, TX all city champ and 2008 Individual World Poetry Slam Finalist.

You don’t want to miss these two perform!”

The finals for the 2010 Women of the World Poetry Slam will be held at the historic Lincoln Theater on Saturday, March 13 @ 8:00 P.M. (View Map)

Since the theater will most likely be packed and tickets will be more at the door, PSI suggests that you buy tickets ahead of time. They say “Ticketmaster charges you more. Or you can pay more at the door. Twenty-two bucks each to put your tail in the hottest show in town.”
