July 7, 2024 (Sunday, from 3:30-5:30 P.M. CST) the “Poetic License” 5/5/24 global open mic (Zoom meeting)
![]() ![]() Since Austin’s Recycles Reads bookstore, the original home to Poetic License, is closed for open mics post-/COVID19... Recycled Reads is open to the public but has chosen to remain closed to gatherings for open mics for added safety after this pandemic, so this monthly open mic is not at the bookstore, but this event has a Facebook event page for monthly Zoom meetings fr the “Poetic License global open mic”. Event pages appear the week beforehand to let people know about the Zoom meeting for this open mic.

![]() Poetry mini-features & open mic at “the Gallery Cabaret” (2020 N Oakley Ave, Chicago, IL, United States) This date is given to Kuypers for her feature readings as well as an open mic for this one-night-only, two-and-a-half-hours-only event for her to hear voices of Chicago poets. She will feature with poetry from her 2024 CyberWit book “The Universe is in Your Hands” (about travel and the world, and beyond), and she may include occasional poems from her CyberWit book “Testament” and her 2022 CyberWit book “Shattering the Glass Ceiling”, or from recent Scars Publications book releases in this one-night-only only event. Instead of one long feature, Kuypers may appear on stage with a number of 10+-minute mini-feature book readings from this new book, since this is her only opportunity this year to share at The Gallery Cabaret poetry from this new book, so come to this page or contact Kuypers for updates. |

On Saturday, February 5th 2011 (2/5/11), starting at 10:00pm), Kuypers attended the Cousin Bones show at Gallery Cabaret (2020 N. Oakley Chicago IL), who had a show with musician Mike Sviokla. Because Cousin Bones was performing live music for Kuypers’ March 5th show in Lake Villa (in the “Visual Nonsense” show letting it all out), Cousin Bones asked Kuypers to start their show with her reading “Death Takes Many Forms”, while Mike Sviokla performed impromptu blues guitar music (and his music sounded great). It is a shame all recorders were in use at Gallery Cabaret that evening, or we would have video from this live impromptu performance to share with you. But the poem “Death Takes Many Forms” is be one of the pieces performed in the 3/5/11 show letting it all out show, so you can check it out there... |
![]() If you missed that that live taping of many musicians for the TV show, see Kuypers dancing in the backgrounds during Youtube video of Treehouse Flavors on Chic-A-Go-Go, Youtube video of Sid Yiddish on Chic-A-Go-Go, Youtube video of Percolator on Chic-A-Go-Go, or even Youtube video of Super 8-Bit Brothers on Chic-A-Go-Go... If you do not live in Chicago to see the show live (on cable channel 19), check out youtube for video links to all parts of this show. (In the Bay Area you can watch Chic-a-Go-Go on a different schedule than the Chicago schedule, thanks to 9th Floor Radio every Saturday from 11pm-1am on cable station 27 [Berkeley] and 28 [Oakland]. And you can even watch online through www.9thfloorradio.com) Kuypers upload a Sid Yiddish raw video shoot from the show to her facebook page, but most videos were dance footage and were used during the intro for backgrond video footage in her 3/5/11 Visual Nonsense show “letting it all out”. |
