(ON THE BASEMENT STAGE)
ALL ARE WELCOME
Poet-a-tete: the Powerfully & Profoundly Positive Place for Public Poetry Performance returns on July 22nd after our June break... summer is on!
Our guest host will be the Lounge Kat himself Jazzy Jason Barrett and we will have a guest band in the house.
Do you have a poem to share? Would you like to read a poem for your special someone? Or would you prefer to have a poet read one on your behalf? Hmmm, we might be able to make that happen.
After this month, we will take a break in August so make sure you get a double dose of poetry this Thursday! Sign-up is at 7:15 p.m. and the door prize drawing will take place during the first half-hour.
Poet-a-tete admission is free and open to all ages. When is your next night out with friends or date night? Could it be this Thursday at Ebenezers Coffeehouse in the basement? Yes? Me too! See you there!
