The Bohemia Room
Power Studios, 3701 N.E. Second Ave., Miami, 305/519-1369, Thebohemiaroom.com
Hosted by Alexander T. Proctor and Ingrid B, this open-mike event features a different theme every Wednesday, from erotic poetry to social politics. Proctor often recites a theme-related ditty he has written on his BlackBerry just before the show. And even though she's not a poet, Ingrid B has enough personality to compensate for it. The petite, Afroed dynamo commands the room as she flirts with, fusses over and cusses at The Bohemia Room's faithful patrons. For $10, poetry lovers can treat themselves to three hours of spoken-word performances by amateurs and professionals alike. Some artists, such as the Miami Masters poetry team (including Will Da~Real One, Asia, Caheej and Da Youngsta), return week after week. And early arrivals can enjoy a free buffet of Chef Creole's chicken wings.
