Re: “Saturday Night Special: East Bay Open Mic”
Eat more! Drink more! Watch more TV! Procrastinate! Avoid the gym!
Resolutions are made to be broken.
That's why the theme for our January 2012 (optional) writing challenge is:
"BROKEN RESOLUTIONS."
Join us on the last Saturday of every month for an evening of literary performances with featured readers, drink specials, and an open mic. We'd love to hear your poems, stories and comedic sketches on our optional monthly theme (or any topic). As ever, there will be some ridiculous prizes to celebrate your creative efforts. Or, you can just sit back, sip the tasty beverage of your choice, and enjoy the show!
Our January features are: LJ Moore & Chanel Timmons
14 open mic slots. Sign-up starts at 7pm and closes at 7:30pm when the reading starts. Each reader will have 3-5 minutes maximum.
FREE!
But bring CASH if you want to buy drinks
Hosted by Hollie Hardy & Tomas Moniz
Season 2 upcoming dates:
January 28 (featuring: LJ Moore & Chanel Timmons)
February 25 (featuring: Camille Dungy & Tess Taylor)
March 31
April 28
May 26
