“Say Anything” night debuts downtown

Got something to say?

Say it at Codos!

Every Wednesday, starting at 7 p.m., until there’s nothing left to say.

Codos: Between the Main Street Saloon and Perfectly Plus.


“The word ‘poetry’ scares people,” said Russ. “Let’s just have a spoken-word night.”

Last week a small group gathered at Codos Coffee, 119 N. Main St., and entertained each other for the evening reading poetry, song lyrics and original material.
This group was diverse – and that’s why it worked.

Enthusiastic patrons begged Codos owner Russ Allen to keep it up, and he agreed to a spoken-word night every Wednesday until folks run out of things to say.

SO: bring your novel, short-story, speech, drama and essay excerpts -- poetry too – and anything else we forgot to mention. Make it original, steal it from someone else (but remember to attribute it!), wing it, prepare it, keep it hate-free and (relatively … relatively) clean, come if you’re young, come if you’re not, read in English or some other language, students, elders, all genders welcome!
