Sept Poetry Open Mic @ Burger Loft in Nyack NY feat. Mckendy Fils-Aimé

This is our monthly poetry mic in the side room of The Burger Loft on N Broadway in Nyack. We're doing it the 3rd Saturday of each month.

Doors / sign-ups open at 6 PM. Poetry starts at 6:33 PM. Anyone that wants to can come and sign up to read up to 5 minutes of original poetry, but we do cap the number of readers. If you're signed up by 6:30 PM and we have more than our max number, we'll randomize who gets to read.

$10 recommended donation at the door; no one turned away for lack of funds.

We'll be featuring Mckendy Fils-Aimé.
