SUMMARY:Saturday Night Special: An "Elevator Pitch" Open Mic
DESCRIPTION:We’re locked in an elevator together. For the next three minutes (or less) I am your captive audience. What will you try to sell me? Give me your best elevator pitch. \nAs always\, we’d love to hear your (three-minute) poems\, stories\, comedic sketches\, songs\, dances\, or sales pitches on our optional theme (or any topic). \nOur April features are: K.R. Morrison & Robert Andrew Andres Perez Jr\n— \nFirst 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) \nEach reader will have 3 minutes maximum. For prose writers this is about one and a half double-spaced pages. \nPLEASE 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! \nAfter the reading\, stick around for karaoke starting at 10pm \nSaturday\, April 29th\, 2017\n7 – 9:30 pm \nNick’s Lounge (21+)\n3218 Adeline Street\, Berkeley\, CA\n1 block south of Ashby BART\nBetween Fairview St & Martin Luther King Jr Way \nFREE!\nBut bring CASH if you want to buy drinks (which you sort of have to\, because there’s a 1-drink minimum!) \nHosted by Hollie Hardy \nPlease help out by liking our FB page\, where you can also find more details and photos from past events: \nhttps://www.facebook.com/Saturday-Night-Special-an-East-Bay-open-mic-112174188880786/ \nBIOS \nWhen she’s not writing poems or drumming in an all-girl garage rock band\, K.R.

He is an alum of the Lambda Literary fellowship & a recipient of the Lannan Literary Award for poetry. His first poetry collection\, “The Field\,” was released in fall 2016 from Omnidawn.
