Hey all— I just want to announce here that poetry really did this. I asked management in my current city. Culver City to allow me to have an open mic night where I perform and will be tabling my poem request line for a PROFIT! and people can donate for mental health. Should I mess around and get that LLC I’m dreaming about? So grateful for this community. Thank you.
