Friday, June 6 beginning at 8 p.m.
People often ask, “who is the mic open to?”
Acoustic Musicians
Poets
Spoken Word Performers
Writers or Readers of any sort
Stand-up Comedians
And just about anyone else who wants to participate. And no, it doesn’t have to be your own material. Covers are allowed :>
A few reminders:
1. We haven’t sidled up to anyone (yet), while they’re at the mic - as a reminder about respecting other performers by keeping as close as possible to the 3 poem/3 song, 10-12 minutes limit – but we may. If there is time, we’ll open it up at the end to see if anyone wishes to do another round. (Of course the MC can break this rule at any time).
2. Bring your own beverages; all we’re able to serve at this time is water. Coffee and Tea are available at Charisma Café.
3. Acoustic. Definition: non-electric instrument. We do, however, allow acoustic guitars to be plugged into our PA System. We ask that you do not bring additional amps and electric instruments.
4. There are chairs for about 40 in the garden. If you have a camp chair, please bring it, we’ve been known to exceed the number of available seats on occasion by 2-3x.
5. We appreciate those who participate just by attending. Cheer on the pros, and those who may be bravely trying it out for the first time, equally. Heckling and any disruption that disrespects a performer will not be tolerated.
