From all of us at the London Open Mic, we hope you've been having an enjoyable holiday season. January will be a holiday month (we're giving some time for everyone to recover from festivities), but we're excited to invite you back for February 3rd, our first event of 2016. This will be a unique evening featuring three Western University English Students, headed by Western's Student-Writer-in-Residence, Helen Ngo, and followed, as always, by an open mic.
Stay tuned for more news about this exciting evening.
But for now, the EVENT INFO
WHERE: The Mykonos Restaurant at 572 Adelaide St. North, London, Ontario. The restaurant has a large, enclosed terrace just behind the main restaurant, which comfortably holds 60 poetry lovers. Mediterranean food and drinks are available. The terrace is open to the parking lot behind. Overflow parking is available across the side street and in the large lot one block north, in front of Trad’s Furniture.
WHEN: Wednesday, February 3rd, 2016. Doors: 6:00 to 6:30 (It's a restaurant.) Event begins at 7:00
THE FEATURED POET: Three Western University Students, headed by Student-Writer-in-Residence, Helen Ngo, will open the poetry portion of the event at 7:00.
OPEN MIC: Following the featured poets, and an intermission at 8:00 pm, open mic poets will read to as late as 10:30. Each poet has five minutes (which is about two good pages of poetry, but it should be timed at home). Sign up on the reader's list, which is on the book table at the back. It's first come, first served.
COVER: Pay What You Can (in jar on back table, or use Donate Button on website Donate Page). Your contributions are our only source of income to cover expenses.
RAFFLE PRIZES: Anyone who pays what cover they can at the event receives a ticket for a raffle prize, three of which will be picked after the intermission. The prizes consist of poetry books donated by Brick Books and The Ontario Poetry Society.
