Writers Wanted: Wilmot’s Old-Fashioned Mic-less Open Mic

This Saturday night I’ll be hosting an old-fashioned mic-less open mic at a great local bookstore – Wilmot’s in Alameda (478 Central Avenue, Alameda).
Comestibles will be provided courtesy of a fantastic local Italian restaurant: C’era Una Volta. And a bit of the grape will be poured by my favorite local wineshop: Du Vin Fine Wines.
We’ll keep things moving at a brisk yet somehow disturbingly mellow pace, with up to (yet no more than) five minutes per reader – just enough time to give folks a taste and leave them politely requesting more. “But no!” you’ll say – “you’ll have to wait till next month’s Wilmot’s Old-Fashioned Mic-less Open Mic!” That’ll teach ’em.

• All manner of prose and poetry welcome.
• Sign up at 7 pm; the words begin to fly at 7:15 pm.
• For directions: 510.865.1443.
• For questions, or to sign up ahead of time: vortex@mediajunkie.com

Should be a fun time and I’d love to see ya there, whether to read or just nibble/drink the food/wine and cheer on the writers/readers.
-Cecil
