Movies & Open Mic Night at the Library

Oscar Winning Songs

This program was virtual and took place over Zoom. I didn’t enjoy it that much because it was mostly movies and songs from way back in the day (old movies, from like, the 1930s and 40s) and I only recognized Somewhere Over the Rainbow from “The Wizard of Oz.” So, I couldn’t connect with most of it, and ended up turning it off, unfortunately. I felt bad, but I just wasn’t into it.

Open Mic Night/Poetry Slam

This program also took place over Zoom, and I went, not intending to share any poetry of my own. I felt a little uncomfortable because I quickly found out this was clearly a monthly program where the same people show up and know each other, and I was the newbie. I told them I was just there to listen/watch, and enjoyed some of the original poetry. But, it ended up being two hours long, and I turned this one off as well.

Reflections:
Both of these programs ended up being flops!
