It’s been a minute as we let the trophy rest in safe keeping with our current reigning champion @jared_parretti – but the time has come for his words to be challenged and the dust to be whiped from the trophy for its resurrection.

Three rounds, three poetic concoctions, three judges, basing scores on three weird criteria, and one diabolical secret ingredient.

Our second round of qualifiers will be @b.ai.ley_man
& @madeline.wissler to see who will go against @itschello in April.

Open mic list is up at 8pm, show to kick off ~9 ; slots for first and second half, alongside a waiting list. Don’t see the room on the list? Talk to Nark, and they’ll see what they can do. Slots are 1-2 poems, 1 song, or approximately 6 minutes. (PLEASE RESPECT THE TIME ALLOTMENT)

Let the houseband know if you need their support.

Do you have extra plastic bags lingering around your home? Bring them down for our friend Byrne, who is crocheting out of plarn making bed rolls/sleeping mats to donate to local shelters and those in need of warmth this cold season and beyond.

TIP YOUR BARTENDER AND BRING YOUR EMPTIES BACK TO THE BAR ❤️ thank u. We love u
