No, it's not a spelling mistake, the website is called Hvngry with a v.

Performance Poetry Event
Are you interested in performance poetry? Apparently it is gaining a big following among young people. On September 28 there will be a performance poet at the local Poetry to the People get together. It will be held at the Boundary Tap and Bar (you'll need to be accompanied by a parent if you're under 18) with an open mic session at 4 pm followed by the feature poet at 5 pm.
This month’s guest is Ben Fagan, a noted Wellington performance poet. Ben’s background includes stand-up comedy and a philosophy degree, making him, he claims, one of the most unemployable people you could meet. ‘Luckily I found performance poetry,’ he says. Exploring themes of identity, gender and society, he likes to play with comedy and poignancy. Ben is a TEDx performer and organiser, a Regional Slam Finalist and an organiser of Poetry in Motion Wellington. Ali Jacs, New Zealand National Poetry Slam Champion 2012, has this to say about Ben: ‘His conversational tone and understated performance style place him somewhere between a prophet and an everyday Kiwi bloke – a dangerously charming combination.’

Booksies
First there were selfies, now there are booksies. Sometimes we do judge a book by its cover, especially when deciding if they are any good for creating booksies.
