Hey there, Mike here, short for Microphone. I guess I'm a likable person. People seem to take no issue saying all sorts of things to me. It could be worse; my friend Tom is constantly feeling beat down. He says his whole life is a trap. Sometimes I just sit by his side for hours and listen to him. I'd like to think I can amplify his experiences so others can empathize, really feel what it's like to be in his skin.

But I digress; I'm here to tell you about an opportunity for you to come share your thoughts, feelings, and experiences with me and your neighbors in Reading. This Thursday, September 19 from 6 to 8pm, I will be open for all!

Who: Anyone! Lend an ear, or express yourself from the (grassy) stage.
What: Open Mic - come share a short story, couple of jokes, a song or two, or just take a moment to hear what others around you have to say
Where: Puddledock Park, the greenspace just north of the Reading Public Library on Route 106 in Reading, VT
When: Thursday, September 19 6-8pm
Why: Because in the age of social media, the experiences we share in the "meatspace" are the ones that will have the strongest impact
