Open Mic Hosted by Lady Brion at Busboys and Poets

Busboys and Poets Columbia · $5.00 · ★ 4.8 (1881)

Lady Brion runs one of DC's steadiest poetry nights, so the mic stays sharp and the room stays warm.

Thursday, October 1 at 8 pm at Busboys and Poets in Columbia Heights (aka the Connecticut Ave NW location); it's ticketed but the site doesn't list a price, so check the link before you go.
