oakland open mic

hi folks. the organization i work for, youth speaks, is starting a new season of under-21 open mics in both oakland in san francisco. the first one of the year is:

october 9
7pm
FREE
Oakland Art Gallery
15th & Broadway, inside the plaza


i have been to so many of these it's hard to count & they NEVER fail to surprise & inspire me. there is always a slew of young folks on the mic, many of them youth of color, & then a featured writer/poet/performer later on. you don't want to miss this, these young folks can BUST.

    Thanks for posting this Meg. It sounds great. I'm going to try to go with my 15-year-old son.

    Wow I haven't been to one of these in so long. My friends Shannon and Tasion and some others used to spit there...
