Flarf festival video: absurdist 'net poetry jam

BoingBoing reader Jordan says,

Following up on previous BoingBoing posts about "flarf", video clips from last week's Flarf Festival are starting to appear on YouTube. Highlights include Rodney Koeneke's "Pizza Kitty," Michael Magee's "Mainstream Poetry," and Drew Gardner's "Chicks Dig War" (NSFW for obscenity, critique, and silliness).

Link. Oh, my, the titles: "Nugatory Wax Milk Goats," "Squirting Ringworm Taco," and "Squid Versus Assclown" promise greatness.

Reader comment: Gary Sullivan says,

Gina Myers provides an account of the first two nights of the Flarf Festival on her blog, a sad day for sad birds: Link.

Other blog reports of the event, some more vivid than others ("Imagine … the lit crit section of your favorite bookstore being buried beneath six tons of yelping pigeon diarrhea") can be read at the following: ululate.blogspot.com,
