Droopy the BrokeBaller and Dwayne B. the Crochet Kingpin present the legendary “Spit Dat” weekly open mic event! Thursday nights, 8:30pm to 11:30pm at the Emergence Community Arts Collective (733 Euclid Street NW, Washington, DC, near Banneker High School and Howard University School of Business). Only $1 cover charge!* Spit Dat is one of the longest running open mics in Washington, D.C. It’s a great atmosphere for amateur poets as well as more experienced poets. Many of today’s most well known poets began by performing at the Spit Dat open mic series. The open mic recently won a NUSPA (National Undergroud Spoken Word Award) for venue of the year.

This weeks Feature is Poetry’z Child!!!

“God’s children are unstoppable!

Don’t like fake people. Please be real or fall back.”

These are the sole words in the facebook bio of Poetry’z Child! One thing I can tell you though is that the simple and direct messaging of his bio fits him well. With his work, he lets you know what is on his minds and heart. He does God’s work through his art, but he won’t shy away from telling you about yourself! In other words, he keeps it real! Come through Thursday to see Poetry’z Child keep it real with us!!!

Check out his videos on Facebook to see what kinda fun we are in store for!
