A politically aware and active venue that asserts it is in the process of "fulfilling the promise of diversity," this cafe encourages words to stand up and be counted. A spoken-word focused event, any meaningful offering is bound to be acceptable. Plus, there is a house percussionist to accompany you in full beatnik fashion (God Bless Herb Caen). First ten poets to sign the list get in free, $5 for everyone else.
