Word Dog is a community open mic for storytelling, process, expression and connection. We want to hear your poetry and stories- written or remembered- of great joy, great grief, and of crapping your pants. Other verbal expression including but not limited to show-n-tell, educational or otherwise informative presentations such as the history of flour tortillas, sentience or community action, strongly encouraged. A cappella ditties accepted with enthusiasm. We draw the line at musical instruments and hate speech.
