We’ve got something special cooked up for you this month — a one-time-only Open Mic experience closed off with a group jam sesh facilitated by the illustrious LipStitch…. And it’s all gonna be filmed!
The night will start at 6pm, as we always do, with a standard Open Mic — come with your best rendition of the Duck Song or a piece of poetry you’ve held dear to your heart for the past six years, or tell us all about how shapes are a government conspiracy to get you to do more math (all acts we’ve seen before)
Standard Open Mic will close off around the hour mark with a short set from LipStitch to get the ball rolling for the jam sesh that follows. Bring your own instruments, or use ours, and follow along with our provided Song Book!
Please note: This will be a filmed event, the edited footage will be posted online to our social accounts, including Instagram and Youtube, and will be submitted to broadcasting on local public access television, as well as FreakScene’s live broadcast. Because of the nature of this filming, Consent and Image Release forms will be provided as you sign up. Everyone who is able and willing to be recorded is encouraged to sign the form, but for those who can’t, appropriate measures will be taken to keep everyone comfortable.

The Red Cathedral is a collaborative show, featuring chainmail by Good Boy Mercantile and paintings by Hypersymbol. The artists envision the Cathedral as a gothic medieval church, such as might be encountered by a wanderer in Arthurian myth. Within the Cathedral, the artists offer modern-day wanderers an opportunity to contemplate the mysteries present in our world, and to connect to far-distant generations of people who reached towards that mystery through religion, narrative, and art.

“We don't need perfect political systems; we need perfect
participation.” –Cesar Chavez
We are Community to Community Development, a local organization focused
on farmworkers’ rights, food sovereignty, and participatory democracy.
While one of our main inspirations as an organization is Cesar Chavez’s
movement, we believe that there truly is no perfect way to participate,
as everyone’s ideas and abilities of what their participation looks like
can vary. At C2C, we believe that movement spaces aren’t stagnant and
they must include all types of people, and our community believes the
same thing. [IM]Perfect Participation includes a zine about our
organization featuring community-made collages and a photography project
with different Polaroid photos and words from community members. C2C
seeks to highlight the various ways that people show up to make a
difference in the world.
