Hi Everybody!
In the past, E.K. & Val 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 we will only pre-draw readers at ONE SPECIAL Open Mic at the Beat Museum on Friday, April 13th! We will draw 7 lucky winners on Friday the 13th! (Last year we had 21 pre-drawn readers!)
Can't make it to the Beat Museum? Show up to Poems Under the Dome where you will have more chances than ever to get your name drawn to read one poem in under 3 minutes.
