Many thanks to everyone who attended the open mic at The Howard House on July 30 sponsored by The Historic Trust and hosted by Printed Matter Vancouver co-founders Christopher Luna and Toni Lumbrazo Luna. The open mic included dynamic readings by Lucas Gubala, Drew Morse, Papasquatch, Denise Campbell, Christopher Diaz, and two of Joann’s children. We were also joined by members of the Southwest Washington Watercolor Society, who worked on their paintings while listening. Christopher and Toni would like to thank Mindy Wilkins and Temple Lentz of The Historic Trust for inviting us to participate in this fun, family-friendly afternoon of poetry in the sun.
