Open Mike Directory
The 3nd Annual Berkeley Poetry Festival was a wonderfully successful five hour event that was held at the Berkeley Community Media Studios. The Festival was broadcast live on Channel 25 and consisted of a 2 hour Poetry Slam and a 5 hour Open Mike. A Private Readings Studio was open to any poet who wanted to read their work. They were videotaped and the tapes were given to the poets and copies were retained for future editing and viewing on Channel 25. A Poet's Exchange Table was set up outside the studios.

The Festival was shown repeatedly throughout the year on Channel 25. The tapes were donated to the Bancroft Library at UC Berkeley and made available for other Public Access stations.
