a lil SOMETHING SOMETHING Creative Mixer: The Finale Kickback | A Lil Art • A Lil Music • A Lil Poetry This isn’t your typical night out. The Poetry Lounge’s intimate finale kickback—a relaxed, creative experience designed for you to unwind, connect, create, perform, and simply enjoy the vibe. Come as you are and stay awhile. Whether you’re an artist, poet, music lover, performer, creative, or someone who simply enjoys being around good people and good energy, there’s a little something here for you. KICKBACK & CHILL: Grab a journal, settle in, and let yourself relax. Create a mini sip-and-paint canvas, enjoy jumbo games, connect with new people, and vibe to a curated playlist featuring some of your favorite Hip-Hop and R&B. PERFORMANCE OPPORTUNITIES: Feeling the spotlight? The stage is open. Sign up through Eventbrite for your chance to share your talent through open mic, karaoke, lip sync, dance, and more. EAT, SIP & INDULGE: Come hungry and enjoy an expansive food menu while you sip from the full bar. Hookah will also be available for purchase throughout the experience.
