The Cafe open mic
5115 N. Lincoln Ave.
$2 & 2 drink minimum (any drink, even bottled water or soda)
The Cafe (5115 N. Lincoln Ave.) hosts a weekly poetry/performance art open mic (hosted by Janet Kuypers). June 14th has a mini-feature night, where throughout the open mic people can read up to 10 minutes of material. The last mini feature night was such a success (and so loved by the audience) that we are thrilled to do it again... Everyone who came down to the Cafe for mini-feature night got to strut your stuff with youtube video links!
Poets featured at the mini-feature night (all with video links at http://www.chaoticarts.org/thecafe/the-cafe/2011/06-14-11/06-14-11minis.htm) include Bob Rashkow, Tom Roby, Charlie Newman, Jenene Ravesloo, Bob Lawrence, Maureen Flannery, New York poet Ice Gayle, and Janet Kuypers.
For info about the open mic and the 2011 schedule (or getting the chance to sign up for your OWN feature, or even to check out the menu for the great food at the Cafe, because we have a collection of books to choose from for anyone who orders food at the Cafe during the poetry evening), you can always check out http://www.chaoticarts.org/thecafe/ for weekly podcasts, feature videos or future schedules.
