The Third Feature...
Deepest Apologies! Patricia Young was scheduled to read on this date, but
switched the date to April 6th.  However, Cynthia messed up the files and
had her listed in two places at once. (Everyone is allowed one mistake per
year, right?)

Therefore, let Cynthia's clerical error be great news for you! Tonight
only, The Art Bar will feature FIFTEEN open mic spots! Open mic readers
will each have 3 minutes to read ONE original poem.

Hope to see you at The Art Bar soon!
