iaafr general

I am in the seat immediately against the front of the train, so any collision or derailment will probably (hopefully!) spell my demise

Some sort of open mic

I was not made entirely clear on what the show would entail

Oh there’s also a csgomajpr here

over/under on sjw-themed performances?

Every Chicago open mic has a bunch of white people talking about their parents, two brown people talking about their race and their parents, and one Asian guy doing such a racist impression that it’s either tired and not funny or borderline experimental and really funny

wait like comedy open mic?

o i was assuming poetry/music for some reason

That’s a yikes from me my guy

Unless it’s competitive slam poets usually suck

yea i went to one once ever cuz a friend in cambridge liked them

was a huge yikes

The slam poets follow the same stereotypes as the open mic set people

I remember going to one at northwestern and everyone was trying to bait tragedy porn like how their parent beat cancer or they didn’t get a car for their 16th birthday

Cancer sucks but you don’t reflect and masturbate on your family member having the bread to get treatment

I remember one poem that basically ended with “slam poetry saved me from stage fright”

lol

i used to have fantasies of composing a slam poem and im glad i never went through with it

Honestly wished I did an ironic one at my high school where there were only upper middle class people moaning

i sang interstate love song with my friend playing the guitar at a hs open mic once

it was ok

i like that song

Lmao on the last one

Let’s link up and do sonme 4 aco dmt

i cant imagine how that would go as a social activity

the comeup is so uncomfortable for me tbh
