The Barbed Wire Open Mic Series @ Joe Vinny & Bronson's Bohemian Cafe (August, 25th 2012)

Its time for another edition of The Barbed Wire Open Mic Series!
This month we will be holding BWOMS at Joe Vinny & Bronson's Bohemian Cafe

As the Percolator closes its doors, we are welcomed with open arms to the new urban coffe shop, Joe Vinny & Bronson's Bohemian Cafe. I've already been there a couple times and I definitely feel the vibe and overall atmosphere of this joint.

This evening's featured performer is poet, Lupe Mendez. We at BWOMS hope to have a successful and entertaining night for all!
