Kickstand - Open Mic Social Night!
5:30 – 7:00 at The Watercooler Idea Studio at 14th & Idaho
August is a "social" event and there is no set program. Instead, we will set the PA system up and make it available for "open mic". There will be a sign-up sheet for those who want 5 minutes to pitch an idea, celebrate a success, or tell a good story! (it must be legal and ethical!)
