$10+; 8 p.m.

Slow … mellow … thorough … how’s your flow? The “Let It Flow” Poetry Slam is now celebrating its fifth anniversary. So if you’re thinking it’s time for your spoken word to be heard, perhaps you’ll be lured. And if you’re just looking to listen, this should be a great party benefiting a fine cause. This year the event, held at Jazzyblu Café and Lounge (the lower level of the Glassworks building), supports West End School’s work with at-risk young men in west Louisville. Today is the last day to register as a poet ($30 fee if any spaces are still available — with $500 to the winner). For a few dollars on top of the basic ticket price, audience members can sample VIP perks — but all paid attendees get admission to a 10 p.m. after party being held at The Venue at 510. —T.E. Lyons
