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.

*Indie musician and singer-songwriter Caitlin Jemma is based in Los Angeles, CA. She grew up in a small historic Northern Nevada mining town known as Virginia City. She draws inspiration from desert landscapes — inviting listeners into the depths of a raw, beautiful, and expansive human experience. Her recently released album A Wider View (May 2024) is inspired by themes such as death, generational heartbreak, forgiveness, transformation, compassion, and true love. A Wider View explores the larger perspective we gain when someone we love passes and how embracing your mortality can inspire a life full of purpose. Gathering musical influence from the likes of Courtney Barnett, Phoebe Bridgers, Weyes Blood, Joni Mitchell, and Sheryl Crow, this record is part rock, part Americana, and part folk singer-songwriter.
