Smack Dab open mic

Wed, Apr 19
7:30 signup, 8 pm show
Free

An open stage hosted by Kirk Read and Larry-bob Roberts.
Once a month, we give you a better reason to come to the Castro besides
cheap lube.
We're a tall glass of aloe vera juice for a neighborhood that needs 28
days in detox.
Give all your compulsive behaviors a two-hour respite and come hang out
with us: a tiny beacon of sanity in a city that runs on coffee, crystal
meth and high speed connectivity. Put down the Kool-Aid, honey. We're
right here.

Featured performer: Jan Richman

Jan Richman is the author of "Because the Brain Can Be Talked Into
Anything" (Louisiana State University Press), winner of the Walt
Whitman Award from the Academy of American Poets. Her honors include a
"Discovery"/ The Nation Award, a National Endowment for the Arts
Fellowship, the Felix Pollack Poetry Prize and the Celia B. Wagner
Award. Her poems and stories have appeared in The Nation, Ploughshares,
Kenyon Review, 6,500, Other Magazine, and many other publications. She

All ages, all genders, all the time.

If you'd like to perform at the open mic, please bring five minutes or
less of your unsolicited advice, writing, music, dance, performance,
cooking suggestions or whatever it is you want to share. Musicians, one

prose.
