2008 going in another direction...

For the moment that is. I'm teaching officially and the Spring will be busier than the fall, as we prepare for the TAKS test. With that being said, I've been unable to host open mic poetry at Beatnix for months. Penney, the owner, has taken over the reigns and I'm sure they have plenty to offer in the new year. Until then, keep Waco full of life and culture by supporting anything that has to do with poetry, music, art, and more.

Have fun with this one folks!

The Featured Poets night is Thursday May 31st. Katie and Gregg will be sharing their personal works so come out early if you want to get on the mic between 7:30pm and 8:30. We'll probably start Featured Poets night at 8:40 and end at 9:45pm. We will still have open mic from 7:30pm to 8:30pm.

Come on out and support local poets!

Theme Poetry Night-From A Man's Point of View

Well, tonight at Open Mic Poetry, we'll be sharing poetry from a "man's point of view". Last month was Women's Poetry theme in celebration of Women's History Month. With this being National Poetry month, hopefully we'll have lots of poems shared by famous and not so famous poets. I need to find me some Langston Hughes to read, myself.

Last week I could only stay a little while because I had school work to do. Alex Simpson hosted and did a fantastic job!! Thanks Alex!

Jack Larimore will be hosting tonight after the poetry workshop from 6-7pm.
