Saturday Night Special: A “Confessional” Open Mic
August 26, 2017 @ 7:00 pm - 9:30 pm UTC+0
Reveal your skeletons and air your dirty laundry this month at Saturday Night Special! We want to hear your dirty secrets and burning confessions, that thing you did, that you shouldn’t have done. Come share your sins, real or imagined, yours or someone else’s. Our theme this month is: Confession.
As always, we’d love to hear your (three-minute) poems, stories, comedic sketches, songs, or dances, on our optional theme (or any topic).
Our August features are: Vernon Keeve III and Joel Landmine

First come first served. Sign-up starts at 7pm and closes when it fills up or when the reading starts, so get there early if you want to read! (Note: Sometimes the list is full by 7:03pm)
Each reader will have 3 minutes maximum. For prose writers this is about one and a half double-spaced pages.
PLEASE NOTE: We are strict about the 3 minute max. When you reach your time limit at SNS, we turn on the disco lights! So, please plan ahead. Practice your piece out loud. Time yourself!
After the reading, stick around for karaoke starting at 10pm
