SUMMARY:Saturday Night Special\, An "Impermanent" Open Mic
DESCRIPTION:This month at Saturday Night Special\, an East Bay open mic\, we are exploring the fragililty of everything—the fleating nature of life\, love\, and rent control\, of sunsets\, egg shells\, and dandelion fluff. Join us! Take to the page and embrace “impermanence.” Then bring us your creation. \nAs always\, we’d love to hear your (three-minute) poems\, stories\, comedic sketches\, songs\, or dances\, on our optional theme (or any topic). \nOur September features are: Vanessa Rochelle Lewis and Zephir O’Meara\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\, September 30th\, 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 \nVANESSA ROCHELLE LEWIS is a queer\, lush-bodied\, Black\, femme performance artist\, writer\, actress\, filmmaker\, educator\, facilitator\, orator and Faerie Princess Mermaid Gangsta for The Revolution. She loves to flirt\, laugh\, perform\, crack corny jokes\, and insert Octavia Butler references into every conversation. She is the former Senior Editor for Everyday Feminism and Black Girl Dangerous\, has taught at California Community Colleges for over 7 years\, and has performed in a wide variety of theatre projects\, cabarets\, and literary events all over the West Coast. She uses a combination of memoir\, poetry\, theatre\, and feminist storytelling to advance her politix of radical love\, socioeconomic justice\, anti-racism\, community accountability\, critical reflection\, love\, healing\, and liberation. She loves romantic songs\, romantic films\, romantic books\, romantic conversations\, romantic friendships\, and writing long\, vulnerable\, passionate Facebook statuses about romance. \nZEPHIR O’MEARA\, a Bay Area native\, has writing in Transfer\, Oakland Review\, Be About it\, Naked Bulb Anthology\, sPARKLE+bLINK\, and East Bay Review. Is he working on a secret project or two? Maybe. And yes\, I’m sorry to say\, he is just the type to subvert a perfectly good bio blurb whenever the opportunity arises. He thought he’d just joke around and hide behind a few words but then he realized something: This is him (me). This is more me\, these frivolous words on this screen\, then you’ll get out of the real me (him) in person. Or maybe not. But will you even try? The ball’s in your court.
