The last one I went to in my community was in February, and it allowed all kinds of others artists to participate. They had singers, comedians, dancers, and even a girl who simply read a long story that she only read to herself the night before.
I took matters into my own hands and posted on fb that I wanted to plan a poetry night with all poetry (no other art forms), except for one local guitarist whom I deeply admire, and all poetry must be original. The post was shared by three friends who know a lot of people. Hours later I had two venue offers (free of charge), six local writers signed up to participate, and the amazing guitarist offered to contribute the music free of charge. He offered. I picked the venue that included sound system (my cousin owns a music school and offered it for the event and also included all the sound system we may need). Also, the walls were offered in case any painter artists wanted to show case their work. I thought that was neat, and I know a few who might be interested. So, now I have enough to set a date and allow for more writers to sign up.
Anywho...
Have you ever attended to one of these? What do you suggest, open mic, or scheduled? I can't decide. I'm breaking my head, but I'm stuck.
This will take place mid November. I'll necro-post this thread, so I can update you with a video of my poetry
Am I banned under attempted necro-postage?
