Share a story, poem, song, or other talent in a fun and supportive neighborhood bookstore. The open mic is wheelchair accessible. Please contact us in advance to request other accommodations, including ASL interpreting, audio description, etc.

This month we also have two featured guests: Spirit Thom and The Old Hats.

Spirit Thom is a co-Founder of the Austin International Poetry Festival. He is an improvising bard who works with WORDJAZZ LOWSTARS, and used to tour with MOTHER GONG, KANGAROO MOON, etc. He had his own bands FUTURE NOW in England, and WE ARE ALIVE! in Australia—and Thom believes his best poem will be his next poem.

The Old Hats are dedicated to original American music and authentic frontier gibberish.  Jerry Dean aka “Jabo” does vocals and guitar, and plays darn near everything else on occasion.  He is a music teacher, retired professor and grandpa.  Robert Talmanson aka “Smoky” aka “Southernmost Smoky” is a relentless harmonica player, musical historian and master of horrible jokes.  John Meinkowsky aka “John the Poet” does vocals and various percussion (hitting things with a stick).  He is a relatively novice musician and is lobbying for nomination to the Smart-Ass Hall of Fame.
