Readings
I participate in readings when they come my way.
I enjoy to participate in Open Mics during the month. My favorite is the Barbaric Yawp in North St Paul. the 4th Sunday of the month. Below is the old AQ before the bar was sold. Now they have a new location and are calling the night Camp Bar.
