About the event:

Please join us for our next reading + open mic! We gather at Centro Cultural Mexicano in Redmond, Washington. All readings are free and include one or more featured readers, a break for snacks, and an open-mic reading for poetry or prose (usually about 3-4 minutes per person). We often socialize at a nearby restaurant afterwards.

We generally meet on the last Friday of each month, from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m.
