Inspired Word Café: Season 17 Open Mic/Open Slam
October 15 at 6:30 pm - 9:00 pm
Join us for an evening of poetry, prose, and music at Hello Darlin’! IWC presents our Open Mic and Open Slam!
Entry is a $6 – $10 sliding scale, and $5 for members.
We have six open mic spots and six open slam spots! Bring your stories, poems, and music! Spots are first come, first served.
Following our Open Mic, we’ll be hosting our ever-wonderful Open Slam! Have you ever wanted to compete for cash prizes with your poems? Look no further! Six poets sign up, and five judges are chosen from the crowd. Three poets move on to read a second poem and compete for prizes! Bring three original poems for the Open Slam should you wish to enter—the third is needed in case of a tie-breaker.
Doors and sign-up are at 6:30 pm. Typically, we have a line outside the door, so if you’d like to participate, arrive promptly!
This venue is a honky tonk speakeasy found in BNA Brewing at the top of the stairs and through a convenience store’s pop vending machine. Both food and drink will be available from BNA.
There are gender neutral and shared, multi-stall washrooms, and the space is wheelchair accessible.
Our programming is made possible by the City of Kelowna, the Faculty of Creative and Critical Studies at UBC Okanagan, and Hello Darlin’.
