Monday 7/6, Last Stand LIVE Open Mic on GetVokl, 8-10 PM
July 6, 2020 @ 8:00 pm - 10:00 pm
FreeIn these times of plague and revolution, where are you? How are you? We are here.
Poetry! Humor! Mythology! Smut! Rage! Portland’s longest running open mic goes VIRTUAL this Monday, July 6, at 8 PM. Jennifer Robin hosts.
Do you want to read your private collection of hundreds of cut-up cereal box ingredient lists? A break-up email? A page from your Pandemic Diary? The final chapter of your history of lint? Maybe you’d like to read from another writer’s work which is especially resonating with you right now. Oh, you may! Stuck wondering if your writing is suitable for the show? Look at the above declaration! The Last Stand treasures diversity, passion, and experimentation.
The open mic is on the video conference site GetVokl, with the link also posted on Facebook to watch, you filthy voyeurs and glorious participants.

Do you know what’s neat about this? The Last Stand is no longer limited to Portland performers—it can serve as a grand soiree for poets from all over the planet during a single show. Go to the (easy to use) GetVokl website, make an account using your email, and click on the event link Monday at 8. When it nears your turn to read, I will ask you to “grab spot”—that’s what it’s called on Getvokl—then I’ll put you on LIVE, babyface!!!
