New Live Poets Society Open Mic at Flicker Bar!
We had our first open mic in the new space last night & it was fantastic! I'm going to post some pics here as well as on Facebook so that everyone can see what a good time we had :) The open mics are taking place in the stage room at Flicker, the room without the bar, and we had tables & chairs set out in the floor space so that everyone could sit down & drink while listening. It's a great space for an open mic - intimate, cozy, with great acoustics! There will be no open mic tonight, 1/31/11, as they already had a show planned, but next week there is a poetry open mic at Dog Ear Books and, after that, we plan on alternating Mondays with Dog Ear Books so that Athen's, GA has a Poetry Open Mic EVERY MONDAY! We may also grab one Wed. a month at Flicker to have a featured poet or a variety show or a performance art night or, y'know, whatever we do...Hope to see everybody soon!
