Scheduling snafu (no worries)

Okay fellow Weirdos, the Powells email blast has us listed on the first Monday in February, this is an error that will be corrected next time.  I have been assured that we are on the schedule for the third Monday and all further notifications will be corrected.

new stuff in 2015...Rhyme the vote? (not about politics)

Hey kids, W4tB is going through some changes, and we want you to know that we're still gonna be around hosting the Open Mic and trying our best to bring you special projects.

One of the changes is that we're only going to be doing the open mic once a month.  we need your help on this one. 

Would it be easier for you to attend The Open Mic on 
the 1st Monday of the month or 
the 3rd Monday of the month.

just leave an answer in the comments.

We know the world is full of conflict and we at W4tB have tried not to go head to head with too many other Poetry shows.  Some things have been unavoidable. Your votes for a preferred Monday and continued patronage will be much appreciated.

Where the Weird Things Are!!-we got us new digs, kids!!!

Waiting 4 the Bus has a new home, a new time, and a new clock.
We are taking over the Poetry Bunker at Powells Books at 1218 S Halsted St, Chicago, IL 60607

Our first feature is
Jenene Ravesloot, Tom Roby IV and Lem Roby. That sounds like Omniphonic and that is super cool.

We do ask for a donation to pay our feature performers. Pay what you can.

Lem Roby, might be persuaded to accompany any reader who asks politely and has an Omniphonic decoder ring
