WORDS: Writers, storytellers, and prose poets will battle it out at The Story Slam, presented by the Toronto Poetry Project. The event, which takes the format of a typical poetry slam but features only stories, will see a dozen performers use five minutes and ten seconds each to tell narratives—everything from ghost stories to erotic fiction—without the aid of any musical instruments, costumes, or props (erotic or not). Tonight's keynote slammer is Randy Jacobs (a.k.a. RC Weslowski), a Vancouver-based spoken word performer, who will do a twenty-minute set of story poems and weirdness. The Boat (158 Augusta Avenue), 7:30 p.m., $5.
