2018 open mics will be characterized by an optional theme each month that Features and open micers may read toward, although the theme is strictly optional.
Also, I'm hoping for a few collaborations. between features and/or open micer's.

April 2018 Optional Theme - This month the theme is Storytelling. In the old way storytellers stood up and told a story to entertain the caravan or king or to scare the hell out of campers without using notes. See if you can tell a story of 5-7minutes without reading. If not, read a story.
