Saturday Night Special: a REVOLT-ing open mic!
Saturday
7:00pm until 9:30pm
September comes with change, the weather gets colder, the beer darker, the writing more…dangerous. In conjunction with 100,000 Poets for Change, we offer you a chance to get revolting, to show us how you revolt, what makes you revolt, how change comes from revolting. Bring stories, poems, manifestos, and warnings. Stay for friendship and karaoke!
Our fabulous September features are:
Baruch Porras-Hernandez and Sojari Bradley
…
19 open mic slots.
First come first served. Sign-up starts at 7pm and closes when it fills up or when the reading starts, so get there early if you want to read! (Note: Sometimes the list is full by 7:03pm)
Each reader will have 3 minutes maximum.
