makes its debut at Barbes with an all-star literary extravaganza and
special musical guest! Come one! Come all! Try your hand at a
DimeStory! Bring 3-minutes of prose (sorry, poets) to read to a live
audience at our open mic. Beware: Three minute rule (500-600 words) is
strictly adhered to. Register up to one hour before each performance to
read, or just sit back and listen to New York's finest dime-sized
stories! Come hear what a difference three minutes can make! ($5.00
