As more of the Los Ángeles literary community returns to in-person events, two long-running Orange County open mics, Two Idiots Peddling Poetry and Shout! the Open Mic, are joining forces, as Two Idiots said on Facebook, to “maintain an online reading.” They want to “continue to connect with our extended community beyond the borders of Southern California.”

Two Idiots and Shout! are still working on what their reading will look like. In the meantime, they are asking the community what day of the week would “work for you?” Then they will decide on a time. “A time that would accommodate “our non-West Coast friends.” Their reading would begin no later than 6pm.

To figure out what day works to have the reading, they have “put together a brief survey” at the following link: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/29G2VWR?fbclid=IwAR0jZN04PkFsj6TsZcyRJgTVrOql2XXm6RTkKy2g-xyECtauAT-MrHcfj-k
