House-Cats wreck poetic havoc over Overfiends

Ethan Switch - Monday, August 22, 2005 - 14:03:01 - print it raw

Brandishing the brass belt by a chilly Saturday night's end, House-Cat Havoc claimed victory in the Inaugural Word Wrestling Federation Australian Team Poetry Slam title bout.

Spouting rhymes and lines in and out of time, House-Cat Havoc (Bravo, Citizen Tom, MC Zoe Zee and Sarah Mae) of New South Wales were most triumphant in declaring their wordsmithing over the Legend of the Overfiends (Steve Smart, Lish, Paul Skec and Meg Dunn) of Victoria.

On the journey toward the title and belt, victims of the wordsmith warriors included Steel Wool, The Trophy Wives and Slam Dunce. Fallen by the wayside. Death and defeat taken in stride.

Refereed by Sean Whelan in the homely industrial stank of FAD Gallery in Melbourne, it was a fight night of lyrical and poetic might.

Where in Kentucky - Mammoth Cave National Park: Monstrously, and seemingly neverending, sitting under the home ground of Colonel Sanders, the world's largest cave system. Yucatan comes nowhere close. Not even Cocklebiddy poses a threat. No comparison. Small holes looking up at a big fat long one. Sadly, with possible age and lack of food, no minotaurs to be found within the lime walls.
Homebrew Diary - Wheatbeer of misery: If what can turn a foul mood around becomes the harbinger of the foul mood, what happens next? Turn it into a learning experience. And when that learning curve makes a late break over the plate, you'd better start to swing away.
Homebrew Diary - Blackrock IPA + Hops: It doesn't take a big man to admit that he drinks. It takes a big man to get wasted and perform impromptu sermons naked from a balcony; raving upon the ravages of the insanity of stata bylaws and noisy offspring in adjoining arpartments...
