"PolyRhythmic Without a Trace" will be at The Spot, 4437 N Broadway, on Tuesdays during January and February while Trace is closed for renovations. This coming Tuesday, January 20th, Emily Rose will be our feature. You don't want to miss this funny and sexy lady poet. Open mic sign-up starts at 10 pm. 21 and over please. We'd love to see our friends, old and new and the ones we haven't met yet, at our new temporary home, upstairs in the "green room. " PolyRhythmic endures and lives on! Vive la Revolution!
Hey, thanks for being a friend. Please feel free to use the Poetry Guide comment area to post information about your book or event. The last thing I bought at a dollar store was a tray that makes ice cubes in the shape of a mangosteen fruit.
A lot going on, yes. But there's always room for more! I have been meaning to come see y'all ever since I moved to Chicago, especially since I've been known to cobble together amazing birthday presents for friends solely from a certain Dollar General in my hometown of Austin, Texas. Anyway, hope to catch you on Friday! :)
That Dollar Store reading at Indie really was memorable, wasn't it? And the Spotted Cows? We still got 'em. We would love to host another reading soon. When are you thinking? You guys = always welcome here.
