Hi Everybody!
In the past, E.K. & Val & Charlie & Diamond Dave have gone around to tons of open mics to get the word out about Poems Under the Dome, and we did a drawing for a reading slot at Poems Under the Dome.
Things have changed!
You will still see us out and about to get the word out, but we will not be pre-drawing names this year. We have gotten feedback over the years about too many pre-drawn readers, and not enough names drawn at Poems Under the Dome.
This year ALL names will be drawn for reading slots at City Hall during Poems Under the Dome!
Show up to Poems Under the Dome! Put your name in the hat, and listen to talented poets until MAYBE YOUR NAME gets drawn from the hat, and maybe just maybe you get to read one poem (in under three minutes) at the 14th Annual Poems Under the Dome!
Looking for Something to DO? Get off the beaten path and try a different open mic!
E.K. Keith & Global Val Ibarra & Charlie Getter & Diamond Dave Whitaker want to encourage everybody to show up to an open mic!
We'll be out and about in March & April to invite everybody to bring a poem to City Hall. We hope to see you at one of the many wonderful venues that welcome poets & their words!
