Presumed Suspended Due To Covid-19 Closures
April 9, 2020
We're assuming that most, if not all, of the non-virtual Open Mikes listed on this site are on hold for now. Rather than encourage anyone to go out for no good reason, we're marking all Open Mikes on-hold until we hear otherwise from the listing owners.
Phase 1:
OPEN MIC
Time permitting, and it usually does, your LIMIT
is 3 poems or 5 minutes, whichever takes LESS time.
Phase 2:
INTERMISSION
Freshen your drink; order more food; mingle; have a bathroom break…
Phase 3:
TEXAS ROUND ROBIN
What is Texas Round Robin? After we have cycled through our entire list of open mic poets, and after a brief intermission, the host will announce the TRR, during which you may randomly approach the empty stage and read ONE poem, then yield the mic to the next brave soul. Ending at or before 3pm.
