Whistlestop Writers Third Thursdays Open Mic

Every third Thursday

This is a lovely event for original poetry and short prose. Poets of all ages are encouraged to come do your thing under the vaulted ceilings of Michelle's friendly wine bar (delicious snacks, pizza, and beer available too!). Cynthia Patton started this poetry event 10 years ago, before she was named poet laureate of Livermore. Peggy (also a former Livermore poet laureate) has taken this up, but both women remain involved.
