Open mic slots are 3 minutes per poet. Find Raef (near the front with a clipboard) to sign up!

NEW OPEN MIC SYSTEM:
Some open mic tickets are available to reserve here on Eventbrite; the rest are for sign-up on the night. Priority will be given to poets who didn't get to read last month. If you read last month and want to read again, your name will go into the tub for random draw to fill empty slots. Most poets who want to read WILL get to, but sometimes the list is too busy to fit everyone in!
Please do not register for a ticket if you had one last month.
