emchyHey Eveyone
I hope you can make it for this smashing and spectacular open mic THIS FRIDAY! It’s our maiden voyage for 2005 and the fantastic WENDY-O-MATIC is featuring! If you saw her at any of the many Ladyfests she’s featured at – you know that she is not to be missed. Plus we’ll have a great roster of local writers and performers on the open mic. Hope to see you there

Come on over for a rowdy revolution of song, dance, poetry and art of all forms.
On January 14th WENDY-O MATIK brings her edgy blend of performance poetry to the Three Dollar Bill Café.
WENDY-O-MATIK is a Bay area based freelance writer, published poet, and radical performance artist. She is committed to reaching out to new readers at non-traditional venues, pushing the boundaries of where literature is normally not seen and heard. For the past fifteen years, she has performed her work frequently at high schools, musical events, radical arts demonstrations, art openings, and progressive bookstores throughout the United States, Canada, UK, Europe, Australia, and New Zealand. She has been a featured performer at Ladyfest London (2002), Ladyfest Melbourne Australia (2003), Ladyfest Auckland, New Zealand (2003), and Ladyfest San Francisco (2004). Future tour dates are in the making for Montreal, Canada (this summer 2005). Her most responsive audience is young people. Wendy-O Matik's largest collective work, Love Like Rage, is published on Manic D Press.
On January 28th revel in the revolutionary tag team antics of horehound stillpoint and Kate Alfieri. One poet will throw down a theme, and then the other throws it back. Sure to be a feisty phenomenon from writers who explore everything from pop culture jargon to the benefits of drinking urine… this is San Francisco at its pervy best!
horehound stillpoint reads his filthy poetry in coffee shops and bars from
San Francisco to Seattle, and from New Orleans to New York City. He's somehow
managed to get material in anthologies from I Do, I Don't to Poetry Nation, and
from Poetry Slam to Men, Amplified. Listen, they don't call him hore for
nothing!
Kate Alfieri has been sharpening up her pen at the Queer Open Mic, and is ready to wow the world with the first ever tag team feature!
Scheduled upcoming featured readers include: Suzy La Follette (2/11), Angie Krass (2/25), Soledad Decosta (3/11) and many many more!
SPECIFIC EVENT DETAILS:
QUEER OPEN MIC (usually)happens on the 2nd and 4th Fridays of every month at the THREE DOLLAR BILL CAFÉ on the first floor of the SF LGBT COMMUNITY CENTER at 1800 Market @ Octavia in SF and is hosted by Cindy M. Emch.
Open Mic sign up begins at 7:30, readings start at 8pm. Anyone with special needs should contact the host 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)
