Arise... Fri, 6/15 open mic hip hop/spoken word/poetry

by Otto Nomous (soydog [at] hotmail.com)
Come check out the new monthly open mic joint for conscious hip hop, spoken word/poetry in the East Bay, 'arise...'. Due to the noticeable shortage of venues for conscious, independent hip hop in the East Bay area, we decided to create one with a do-it-yourself attitude. 'Arise...' is a space for everyone who's into hip hop as a revolutionary minded culture to come make it their own. Show up early to sign up and drop some knowledge on the open mic.

Thank you for including directions to the Long Haul from the BART station & the bus stop. I don't have a car & I've come to appreciate the courtesy when people provide public transit info.
