Occupoetry! I could also see if the Cantab Lounge in Central Square might
be interested. Their Wed. night poetry open mic is usually pretty good, and
there's a few Occupiers among their regulars. I read an Occupoem (heh heh)
a few weeks ago, and folks asked me good questions afterwards. I wonder if
it might be possible to host an Occupy the Cantab evening which might
include Occupy-themed poetry, music, etc. I could ask how to go about that
next time I'm there.
