Bringing Back Kerouac

About Me

Bringing Back Kerouac (BBK) is a monthly poetry and music open mic night every 1st Tuesday of the month at Bar 35 ~ 35 N. Hotel Street in Honolulu. 8:30pm-11pm. Bar open till 2am.

The event was started on Election Day, November 7th 2006 literally as the Democrats regained power in Congress. The intent behind BBK is to encourage open-form poetry and art in Honolulu and to provide a platform for people to rock the mic without the stress of competition or the pressure to perform like a "slam poet."

The atmosphere is intimate and its antipretentious atmosphere attracts all the characters needed for the monthly play we call, "Bringing Back Kerouac."

All over 21 are welcome, and this event is free!...for the time being. Original poems, cover poems, songs, short films, interpretive dance, and just about any other performances are all encouraged. Full bar available. MyGen Profile Generator

The Passion - Jeanette Winterson

I began to think of leaving for France and though the thought of not seeing her each day froze my heart more cleanly than any zero winter, I remembered words of hers, words she had used when Patrick ...
