About this Event
Come on down to read your work, tell your jokes, bear your soul, all while accompanied by the coolest backing band since the invention of Ray-Bans. Open mic list is up at 8 pm, show to kick off ~9; slots for first and second half, alongside a waitlist. Don't see room on the list? Talk to Nark, and they'll see what they can do. Slots are 1-2 poems, 1 song, or approximately 6 minutes. Let the houseband know if you need their support!
