EVENTS! Aug-Sep 2025 - Four Things (and Two More)
I'm getting out and about in the next month - catch the wave(s)
This Week (August 12th-14th)
This week, I’m trying to make it to three two events in a row (!) —
Tuesday, August 12th (tonight!), Next Level Joy! Open Mic
Normally held every 2nd Tuesday at Lutunji’s Palate, downtown Minneapolis (1400 Park Avenue South, #1010). Turns out it’s not happening this month! Who knew? I mean, maybe Lutunji did, but apparently nobody else 🤷🏼♀️.
Wednesday, August 13th, BuckSlam!
At Indeed Brewing (Northeast Taproom) in Northeast Minneapolis, in the Solar Arts Building.
Thursday, August 14th, Re-Verb Open Mic
At Flava Cafe, St. Paul, University & Dale (623 University Ave W).
Feature Appearances
I’ve got several scheduled events in the next month or so!
Saturday, August 16th, End Slavery MN Block Party
The block party is Over North, at 1101 W. Broadway #105; I’ve got a whole 15-minute set planned (and it’s going to be 🔥).
I will be appearing early in the event schedule, around 2:35 (after the opening song).
Tuesday, September 2nd, Better Things 5x5 Reading & Open Mic
As usual, this will be at Moon Palace Books in Minneapolis (3032 Minnehaha Ave).
I’m not on the Features slate, but I am co-hosting, and I will, as usual, kick off the open mic with a poem.
Saturday, September 6th, Nourish: A Reading Series
I’m thrilled and honored to be part of the inaugural event of this reading series, hosted by Sara Dovre Wudali and modeled after Better Things (which, in turn, borrowed the 5x5 format from local star poet E. R. Tannen). This is happening at Cafe Marguerite in Northeast Minneapolis (300 13th Ave NE).
Sunday, September 14th, All In! A True Variety Show
“A brand-new variety show presented by The Headwaters Collective of Performing Arts LLC (HCPA). A wild hour and a half show with everything from singing, dancing, acting, comedy, and MORE!” I’m part of the MORE 😄.
This event will be at The Hive Collaborative in St. Paul (677 Hamline Ave N). There are only 60 seats total, so there is a possibility they will sell out. If you want to secure your seat, I’d order sooner rather than later 😅.
I’m also excited for tomorrow. TOMORROW. 😉
