POETRY & JAZZ JAM – TUESDAYS @ CLUB DELUXE

May 2006 Re-cap...

To top-off the most amazing National Poetry Month we've ever been a part of, we were lucky enough to get involved with Clara Hu from the Poetry Hotel and decorate our very own tree at the "Poets with Trees" picnic in Sutro Heights Park.
The reading took on a life of its own and became an open mic in the middle of a lovely grove of trees overlooking the Pacific Ocean. Does it get any better?

Daniel and Shane were our jazz gurus for the day and chimed in with Pablo to fill the air with music and verse. Matt Wolf was out and about reading and modern dancing, celebrating life in the wild. Jennifer made some colorful signs and read a piece with Daniel on the sax after dishing out lots of blowpops! Her favorite — sour apple.

May was a great month for San Francisco weather finally and also for poetry and jazz! Here are some highlights from Club Deluxe:

— Not only is she beautiful, she has a beautiful voice and inspires us to get in touch with her way of seeing the world. Sarah Cruze knows how to move you. We heard rumors that she may be moving back to Los Angeles soon and that just makes us cry. LA is lucky! Come back to visit us soon Sarah!

— It's always fun to be surprised by new recruits. New-comer Steven has a unique way of rhyming with rhythm and wordplay. We're enjoying his wit and wisdom on the mic.

— Ledbetter gets better every time we hear him go off with his poetic skat in a growly, ecstatic voice. He gives new meaning to Howl! Literally! He's been showing up often and wowing us all the time with his fun shirts and energetic verse.

— Wiseproof, open mic host at Cafe International and resident dragon slayer shows us his tools and his skills. If there are dragons in the house, beware! Not only is he a powerhouse voice, this man knows how to speak straight from the gut and freestyle on the mic.

Well May is gone and June is here. The weather is getting warmer, school is out and better yet, we're turning one year new! July 18th will be our one year anniversary party at Club Deluxe, home to Tuesday Night Open Mic Poetry and Jazz Jam since 2005!!!

We want to party with you and celebrate all that is SF's most fun Open Mic as we've heard on the streets. Come join us for great poetry – open mic sign-up at 8pm sharp! We're going to have Free Beer Trivia with Daniel, Birthday Cake, Prizes and of course LIVE JAZZ with the Nova Jazz Quartet! Come on down and celebrate with us!


Hope to see you next week and on
July 18th to celebrate!!!


—Ingrid, Jennifer & Daniel
