Hey Everyone! Welcome to the new Queer Open Mic mailing list
system. If you have any questions or problems with your account setup,
just email me at sa...@sarahdopp.com.
So there we were, minding our own business, having a perfectly local February Queer Open Mic, when out of nowhere a wild-haired boy from DC adds himself to the last spot on the sign-up list and is so incredibly charming and talented that he steals the entire freaking show. You can just imagine: our feature was devastated. Our community, violated. And our talent bookings for April, resolved.
Please welcome back to the Bay Area… the man who gave us all chocolate and got more phone numbers at the end of the night than any of us locals can rake in at the Trans March, Dyke March, and Pride Parade combined…. REGIE CABICO!
About Regie
Regie Cabico is a pioneer of the spoken word movement having won the Nuyorican Poets Cafe Grand Slam and is the first openly queer and Asian American Poet to take top prizes in the National Poetry Slam. His work appears in over 30 anthologies including The Outlaw Bible of American Poetry, Spoken Word Revolution & Aloud: Voices from the Nuyorican Poets Cafe. Television and film credits include 2 seasons of HBO’s Def Poetry Jam, PBS’ “In The Life” & Boys Life Volume 1 (Strand Releasing). He resides in Washington, DC where he is the artistic director of Sol & Soul, an arts and activist organization.
Bring a piece to perform that’s under 5 minutes (just one — and time yourself at home), put your butt on a seat next to someone cute, and get ready to grin. See you there!
