Subject: Poetry participants rehearsal Tuesday March 6, 5 pm here, for
Thursday March 8 event in Chevy Chase

From Peter Warner:
(Please note that the event says 5 pm at the drop in center, and it can go
on until 7 pm, although I will be leaving at 6:15 pm to go to a Board
Meeting elsewhere. Pete and Ron Goad will probably stay til 7 pm.)

To: All budding Silver Spring Drop-in Center Poets.

Tomorrow afternoon, Tuesday March 6th 5:00 pm at Drop-in Center: Calling all
poets!! Come rehearse your best original material with professional
drum-player and mental health consumer Ron Goad, prepping for the taping of
a series of radio spots Thursday afternoon by WTOP Radio's "Man About Town"
DJ Bob Madigan at Alfio's Trattoria restaurant in Friendship Heights, three
blocks from Friendship Heights Metro. "Bethesda Beatniks Dinner Club"
manager "Beatnik Pete" Warner will also be on hand to answer questions about
heavily-publicized consumer open-mic poetry night marathon, to be held April
25th also at Alfio's with--count them--five professional musicians backing
up the poets. Don't be shy--beginning poets welcome. Here's your chance to
get commercial radio exposure, and quite possibly "Montgomery Gazette"
exposure too, for your creative work and your personal story. ###
