An excellent way to spend a Monday evening, great coffee house setting, laid back, nice people, but you might want to bring a cushion for the metal folding chairs provided, the music is fantastic and you'll want to stay through the whole thing.
I think Chili and Poetry is an excellent way to welcome in Spring. Don't you?
