This Just In: OMG! May has TWO Queer Open Mics! TWO!! Just like in the olden days!
1) Friday, May 22nd - featuring Trashcanpoet at Modern Time's Bookstore
2) Saturday, May 30 - The LGBT Center's Pride Kickoff Celebration!!!!
Read on, read on...

1) Friday, May 22nd - Trashcanpoet at Modern Time's Bookstore
Listen up Cool Cats, Hot Dawgs, and the rest of the Underground Glitterati: We’re about throw you a curve ball.
See, Queer Open Mic is happening on the “fourth Friday of the month” these days. MOST of the time, you can cheat and just think of it as “last Friday of the month,” but NOT ALWAYS! The month of May is tricky tricky and if you’re not studiously counting dates, you might miss it, cuz it’s got five — count em — Five Fridays, Ah! Ah! Ah!
(That was in the voice of the Sesame Street’s The Count, btw, in case you haven’t had your coffee yet. Sometimes we’re funny and do voices. Sometimes we also wear Indiana Jones hats and put boobs on people’s heads. With their consent. Of course.)
So show up on May 22nd, the fourth Friday, if you want to be in the room when our resident Berkeley Slam rockstar, Trashcanpoet, makes every girl, boy, and the rest of us swoon with tripped out glee.
About Trashcanpoet
Trashcanpoet is the rhyme-spitting alter ego of Miles Gabriel Burke, an Oakland-based slam poet, writer and spoken word artist. He was first published at 17 and co-founded the alt/hip-hop group RUUDE in Atlanta before moving to the Bay Area, where he has been a finalist for Berkeley’s and San Francisco’s national poetry slam teams and has performed with Fella-Fem, The Men’s Story Project, Artists Against Rape, and the Queer Girl Theatre Project (of which he was the first male-identified member), among others. In addition to performing, he is currently working on a novel, Oaklandia, which is half semi-autobiographical and half pure unadulterated bullshit.
Bring your latest under-five-minutes (hint: time yourself!) composition of gorgeous to Modern Times Bookstore on MAY 22nd (hint: that’s next week!), clap for all the pretty people (hint: that’s everyone), and we might buy you a milkshake afterward (hint: no, really).

2) Saturday, May 30 - The LGBT Center's Pride Kickoff Celebration!!!!
And in celebration of our beloved city's impending month-long uber-gay non-stop bumpa-bumpa traffic-stopping party to renew all parties, we bring you QOM's presence at the....
2pm - 3pm in Room 301 (get there 15min early if you plan to perform)
QOM returns to its roots (give or take a few floors) for one day only! Past host Sherilyn Connelly joins present and future host Sarah Dopp in Room 301 for this show, which is likely to destroy the space-time continuum as we know it. (But what a way to go, am I right?) Open mic performers are welcome to perform art of any style as long as it is one (1) piece that is five (5) minutes or less. Spoken word, poetry, comedy, music, dance (interpretative or otherwise)--whatever your talent, share it with the rest of us! FOLLOWED BY A DANCE PARTY!!!!
(There will be crazy cool stuff going on all day in that building, so keep an eye out for more detailed announcements.)
Okay? Didja get all that?
COME PLAY!!!
Hugs and fluffy bunnies with pointy stabby eyes,
Sarah (and Mollena, and Baruch, and the rest of the beautiful people)
