GIBBERISH

In the tradition of the Beat Poet, coffeehouse gatherings in San Francisco and the Bowery Poetry Cafe in downtown NY, FRESH is pleased to announce our newest project: GIBBERISH. GIBBERISH will be an open-mic poetry and performance art experiment, blended together with live music. Anyone and everyone is welcome to come down and read their work. We hope that, after lighting the fuse, that it will explode in all different directions and evolve into whatever it will eventually become.

Thursday Night, July 16th
8pm - 11pm

at TOAST COFFEEHOUSE
242 E Main St Port Jefferson, NY


"Nothing is True. Everything is Permitted."
