Here we have another marvelous San Francisco open mic poetry session, only it lacks you! If you live in the Bay Area please consider finding out through John Rhodes' Facebook page when we run the open mic poetry podcast and TV show. It is usually at 2727 Mariposa Street, San Francisco. The poets today are J.C., Steve Mackin, and host Stephen Kopel. Try going to John Rhodes' youtube page to watch the video version. We were well-poised in this open mic and I'm sure you will enjoy the audio as much as the video.
