QUEER OPEN MIC prepares for the holiday season with a lighter schedule.
For December, QUEER OPEN MIC will happen only on the second Friday of the month!

On December 10th we are proud to feature local rock star poet Michelle Tea.
Michelle has published the novels, "The Passionate Mistakes and Intricate Corruption of One Girl in America”, "Valencia" and "The Chelsea Whistle". Her work has been included in the forthcoming anthologies: "Women Who Eat" "Punk Rock Porn", "Geeks, Misfits and Outlaws", "Coming Out of the Closet Again", and "Night". She has most recently published an illustrated (graphic) novel, "Rent Girl", with artist Laurenn McCubbin.


Why a Queer Open Mic on a Friday night?
Because the queers will not be silenced, because sharing art is a revolutionary act, because coming together to kick some serious literary a** is unbelievably fun, because your voice and your experience is unique and needs to be heard, for these reasons and more come on over to a friendly and fabulous open mic for the entire queer community! Let's create a space for spoken word, poetry and performance that is multi cultural, multi gendered, completely inclusive and dynamic.


Scheduled upcoming featured readers include: Wendy-O-Matik (1/14), Tag Team Feature Kate & Horehound (1/28), Suzy La Follette (2/11), Angie Krass (2/25), Soledad Decosta (3/11) and many many more!

SPECIFIC EVENT DETAILS:
Open Mic sign up begins at 7:30, readings start at 8pm. Anyone with special needs should contact Cindy the night of the event for any specific accommodations. $1-5 donations benefit the performers and The Center (www.sfcenter.org) in an effort to encourage more queer art in our community. No one turned away for lack of funds. (Open mic readers get 5 minutes, one poem or 3 pages of prose, whichever fits the material best)
