Ruby didn’t appreciate him, but we sure do. For one night only, FBomb celebrates the bearded storyteller with a night of flash fiction stories written to the theme of everything Kenny. Join us for this celebration on Tuesday June 18 at 7:30 PM at Mercury Cafe!

Pick a song title, any title, and then write something in the 4 minute range inspired by that title to read during the open mic. (Open mic spots are many things, but they’re not infinite. Get there on time to sign up. Also, when we say 4 minutes max, we mean it this time. Anybody attempting to go long will most likely be interrupted and politely played off the stage to sounds of a real life band playing The Flintstones theme song)  

Islands In The Stream

We’ve Got Tonight

Lady

Daytime Friends and Nighttime Lovers

The Gambler

Coward Of The County

…………….the list is endless. Unless you end it and don’t want to write something inspired by the song titles of Kenny Rogers. If you want to read something else, that’s fine. It’s an expensively free county. Read what you want, but our featured writer Jonathan Montgomery will most definitely be reading on theme, to the soothing sounds of Kenny Rogers music, backed by The KGB Band minus the K, aka a new combination tentatively titled Kenny’s Roger. 

Hosted by Rob Geisen
