Chem-GSA Open Mic Night at the BARN, 2/26/09



WE.NEED.YOU.TO.PERFORM! It's time to escape from your lab/office/cubicle and
show off your talent at Chem-GSA's Open Mic Night from 7:30pm-10:30pm. We
are calling for talented (or at least brave) grad students to come out and
perform! Since it is an open mic night, any kind of performance (musical,
spoken word, science demo anyone?) is appreciated. Please contact
kimbery.worsley at email.ucr.edu if you'd like to perform or need more
information.  This event is open to the entire student body and the Barn has
beer and food specials all night long.





Be sure to contact me if you have any questions, suggestions, comments, or
concerns.  Join us on our virtual community on Facebook.  Hope to see you
soon!



At your service,



Alex Cortez
