FB EVENT: https://www.facebook.com/events/377600674620003
It’s 2023, and whether you’ve founded a startup that went under, got laid off from a job you thought was safe, found yourself on a dreaded PIP counting your days, or never got your career off the ground to begin with - chances are you’re familiar with the feeling of failure in business. But the rat race doesn’t leave a lot of space to reflect on the grief that these challenges bring. We dust off our resumes, rewrite our failures as successes, put on our armor and get back out there because we all have rent to pay, and “bigger” forms of grief we find worthy of our emotional space...
But not on this night. On this night, you’re invited to bring the evidence of your failures, the mugs, tshirts, the storie - and commune with us in tears and laughter. Part trolling performance art, part grief open mic, all realness. Because the reality is - your startup is probably going to die - and so is everyone else’s.

You're Going to Die: Poetry, Prose & Everything Goes...
is an open mic event, the communal offering for us to explore the conversation of death & dying, to embrace our losses & mortality, to grieve, bereave & honor those we’ve lost & love… while all the while making room for simply being ALIVE.
Sign-ups will be the night of & the list fills up quickly, so if you want to perform, you’d better get there early…
If you’re going to perform, keep it under 5 MINUTES. That’s right: 5 MINUTES. WE WILL TIME YOU. And we will hug you when we have to stop you [just to make it easier on you (or harder – depending on your propensity for intimacy)].
Poetry, prose, music, dancing, comedy, drama, happy, sad, & on & on & on… Remember: EVERYTHING GOES… so do whatever you want.
You don’t have to perform anything; the audience is as essential as the performers.
Please don’t perform anything with a setup that takes much more time than the time it takes for you to walk onstage. Honestly, plugging things in is endlessly boring. If you need to borrow an instrument, figure it out before you’re called to the stage.
IMPORTANT ::: DON’T TAKE YOURSELF SO SERIOUSLY. Come and have fun. The end. Remember. Someday, we won’t exist and neither will the English language. If you choose to take yourself seriously, then take yourself so seriously that it’s stupid. Ridiculousness is encouraged.
You're Going to Die. No. Really. You are.
