You’re Going to Die: Poetry, Prose & Everything Goes...
is an open mic event, the communal offering for us to explore the conversation of death & dying, to embrace our losses & mortality, to grieve, bereave & honor what we’ve lost & love, in laughter & in tears… while all the while making room for the joy & gratitude at simply being ALIVE.
Sign-ups will be the night of & the list fills up quickly, so if you want to perform, you’d better get there early…
If you’re going to perform, keep it under 5 MINUTES. That’s right: 5 MINUTES. WE WILL TIME YOU. And we will hug you when we have to stop you [just to make it easier on you (or harder – depending on your propensity for intimacy)].
Poetry, prose, music, dancing, comedy, drama, happy, sad, & on & on & on… Remember: EVERYTHING GOES… so do whatever you want.
You don’t have to perform anything; the audience is as essential as the performers.
Please don’t perform anything with a setup that takes much more time than the time it takes for you to walk onstage. Honestly, plugging things in is endlessly boring. If you need to borrow an instrument, figure it out before you’re called to the stage.
IMPORTANT ::: DON’T TAKE YOURSELF SO SERIOUSLY. Come and have fun. The end. Remember. Someday, we won’t exist and neither will the English language. If you choose to take yourself seriously, then take yourself so seriously that it’s stupid. Ridiculousness is encouraged.
You're Going to Die. No. Really. You are.

*Joey Coe is the singer and songwriter of the Oakland-based indie-rock band Mount Saint Elias, a project praised by American Songwriter and featured on NPR for its expansive, genre-bending blend of folk storytelling and art-pop experimentation. Born in Kentucky, Coe’s songwriting draws deeply from the folk traditions he grew up with, exploring friendship, love, loss, mental health, and the strange humor of being alive. Much of his work—both solo and with MSE—wrestles with loss, memory, and the questions that linger in the wake of tragedy. His solo performances are intimate and unguarded, highlighting the heavily literate lyricism and raw vocal approach that define his style, landing somewhere between a Bon Iver resonance, a Noah Kahan hook, and a Mark Twain side-eye. - https://www.mountsaintelias.com/
