Happy Birthday, UC Open Mic!

We can hardly believe it ourselves...but we're coming up on ONE YEAR since the first Uptown Crew OPEN MIC!

It was May 1, 2010 that we started up at 264 Fairmount Space with a few poets and musicians lounging in our couches there.

In October, we hosted JC Opens Up the Mic Tour 2010 at Moore's Lounge (aka Bill+Ruth's), and joined the Moore's family. Miss Ruth has made us welcome ever since, and in January we followed our audience's wishes and doubled the fun. So, our Open Mic now runs every 2nd and 4th Thursday of every month at Moore's.

The bottom line is, this coming Open Mic on April 28 is our
BIRTHDAY BASH!.

As usual, there will be some excellent Yummies for your Tummy, so don't eat beforehand! We promise, we will have delicious dinner and dessert.

And we'll have lots of surprises for you too, including a raffle and, hopefully, a special feature performer!

Don't miss this celebration of community and entertainment in the Upper and Outer Reaches of Jersey City.

THE CREW IS YOU, baby!

Coming Up...

So many things happening up here, where the air is rare!

- The UPTOWN CREW Open Mic is such an amazing time, and it's gotten so popular, we were inspired to double the fun. So now you can bring your BEST to our UPtown stage on the 2nd and 4th Thursday of every month. With the incomparable DJ Neva (picture), we're holding it down at Moore's Lounge, 189 Monticello Avenue. $5 admission, Yummies for your Tummy, 7:30pm sign-up. Moore's warm, welcoming crowd and our amazing performers from Newark, South Jersey, NYC and all over Hudson County make this a sweet night. Easy to find, easy to get to.

- The UC Dramatic Reading Series continues on Sunday, March 20, with a celebration of Women's History Month - readings by all women actors of all women authors, bringing alive the early American literary voice through its 19th-century literature. Musical guest, Carolyn Light. $7, 5pm at the Journal Square Cafe (2nd floor, above McDonald's, across from Journal Square). Enjoy the JSQ Cafe's delicious kitchen...Middle Eastern food made fresh, fruit smoothies, and more!

Hey, teens, this OPEN MIC is for YOU!

We're super excited to announce Uptown Crew's first TEEN OPEN MIC!

YOU: Age 13-19

• Do you write poetry? (Maybe it's a secret...)
• Have you already brought your words up front at a spoken word slam or with your friends?
• Or maybe you are a singer, or a songwriter, or both.
  
• Comedian, actor, performer - whatever....you'll get 5 minutes in the spotlight, and you'll get to watch some inspiring stuff.
  

It's happening on Saturday, JULY 17, at Raphs Plaza, the cool African Market and Internet Cafe that opened a couple of months ago at 709 Bergen Avenue in McGinley Square. Owned by a local (by way of several African countries) family, we're grateful to have Raphs in the neighborhood and so glad they've agreed to host Uptown Crew's first ever Teen Open Mic.

Doors open at 6:30pm so you can sign up to perform. Performances will start around 7pm and go till around 9pm.

Admission is FREE.
And Raphs serves great refreshments.

Oh, and parents and adults - you're welcome too.
Please pass the word on to your own teen friends and families.

See you there!
