February 7th Freak for All and Derek Firenze Makes Love to the Poetry Ruckus Feb 9th !!!

That's right people, this coming Monday Feb 7th is the first Monday of the month, and that means the Freaks will all be out at E-Street cafe from 7-9 PM. The Freak for All is an open mic with an emphasis on improv and experimentation. All forms of live performance are encouraged, though spoken word and music are most frequently on display. Come out and do something freaky and original!

Two nights later, Wednesday February 9th you can find us Ruthless Hippies at Ducky Waddle's Emporium for the Poetry Ruckus. Our guest will be none other than the Derek Firenze. Since the very first run, Derek has been stalwart at the Ruckus (mind you he is neither stale, nor does he have warts ), crafting poems that range from humorous to whimsical to serious to disturbing and back (often in the same poem) and he gives his all to each reading. Please stick around and support one of our favorite Ruckus Rousers.

Doors 7, starts 7:15, guest 9 PM. Those looking to read MUST RSVP to: ruthlesshippies@gmail.com.

The following week the Moonlight Poets and 101 Artist Colony present the La Paloma Slam on Friday February 18th. C'mon out and sign on up if you think you've got what it takes. The night before at the Encinitas Library, there will be another poetry night

And then I'ma be sippin pina coladas in the Carribean on my birthday the week after that, so that's the story. February is Encinitas Poetry Month, people. Get out and express yourself!
