Reminder: Queer Open Mic with Dusty Rose at Modern Times @ Fri Jan 22 7pm - 9pm (Queer Things)

more details » Queer Open Mic with Dusty Rose at Modern Times from our website: http://www.queeropenmic.com ... Happy New Year! While some news organizations and media mavens may be telling you that 2010 is just going to be a different version of the same crap, we beg to differ - this year is going to be full of amazing brilliance, savvy commentary, and ridiculously fun literary shenanigans, and Queer Open Mic is your gateway to a better year! We'll make you laugh, cry, and think; we'll give you somewhere to go where everybody knows your name (and will help you impress your date, too); we'll even let you get up on stage and wow us all with your wit and verve. So plan on checking out the first Queer Open Mic of 2010! About Dusty Rose: Dusty Rose is an ex-school teacher turned pixie. To salvage what remained after the soul-eating public school system, she abandoned career, home, and family to pursue poetics full time. With a BA in Literature from UC Berkeley, five years of teaching experience and a pile of tattered journals, Dusty Rose dove into the slam world full time last year. Since then she has competed regularly at bay area slams, qualified for team semi-finals in Berkeley, Oakland and San Francisco and just completed a 9 month tour of the US and Canada with highlights in Vancouver, Chicago's Green Mill, University of Maryland, Orlando's Broken Speech, and Humboldt State University. Dusty Rose released two albums in 2008 with fellow poet and vagabond, Baraka Noel, as mumbles and the Dust. Her work drips with candied images for your mind; close your eyes… she will make love to you and that is a metaphor.
