WRITE CLUB Athens - Chapter 1 - Bout 1 - Brains vs. Brawn

Hello, Athens. This is the WRITE CLUB Athens Podcast. I'm Jami Howard, the Head Bitch In Charge. If you're not familiar with WRITE CLUB, let me break it down for you. WRITE CLUB started in Chicago, the brainchild of our seriously disturbed overlord Ian Belknap. It goes like this: 2 OPPOSING WRITERS. 2 OPPOSING IDEAS. 7 MINUTES APIECE. AUDIENCE PICKS A WINNER. Writers compete for cash going to a charity of their choosing. It was a balmy night on April 2nd when a standing room only crowd welcomed WRITE CLUB to Flicker Bar for our inaugural show. Three seasoned WRITE CLUB Veterans -- Nick Tecosky, Randy Osborne and Topher Payne came to face off against three of Athens' finest ladies, Krista Westervelt, Janet Geddis and yours truly. The battle began when I faced off with WRITE CLUB Atlanta's Viceroy Nick Tecosky. We'll start with Nick's work of fiction chronicling his struggle with being a scientist zombie. His topic: Brains. [Nick's performance] Nothing is more human than desire, President Palin. Hard to follow, I took him on with my topic, Brawn. [Jami's performance] So, who had the better piece? Are you kicking yourself for not coming to see the show now? Fret not! WRITE CLUB Athens will be back soon. Make sure you like us on Facebook and follow us on twitter at WRITECLUBAthens. You can also check out our site at www.writeclubathens.com. If you're interested in participating in an upcoming bout, send us a message at hello@writeclubathens.com. We're looking for a fiery, brave soul to be our regular emcee and host. Thanks to Viceroy Nick Tecosky and Consigliere Myke Johns for coming up and helping get this crazy adventure off to a roaring start. Big thanks to Flicker Bar for taking a chance on something new. Also thanks to Carla Le Fever & The Rays for lending us the sweet, sweet sounds. Look for upcoming podcasts for Janet Geddis vs. Randy Osborne and Krista Westervelt and Topher Payne.
