Open Mic @ Smooch
Tonight’s adventure is an open mic night/poetry slam at a cool cafe and bar called Smooch in Brooklyn. I checked this out for the first time last week (it occurs every Tuesday). In fact, last Tuesday was my first time performing something public in about 10 years. I read a poem written last year during my visit to NY/NJ, and one that’s a bit more convoluted as well. I think tonight I’ll go with ‘Ode to the Little Things in Life‘.
The event itself is very chill; a few people (fifteenish) show up, some sign up to perform, and the whole thing gets started between 9 and 10pm. Smooch itself seems to be Australian owned, or themed, because they have a variety of Australian beers, and I saw some vegimite on the counter.
Wish me luck!
