Melissa Cumings will be reading excerpts from her upcoming book "The Promised Knife!"

Sign up starts at 6, show starts at 7, Melissa 9, then open mic picks back up around 9:30 until 11:30!

Open mic at The Root has an open stage policy. Got a song you wanna sing, well you can do some karaoke. Any talent from music, poetry, comedy, dance, drag, sword swallowing, if you wanna make spaghetti on stage & can make it interesting for us to watch than bring it on!
