. Start your evening  mixing and mingling from 9-10 with free appetizers and a beverage from the cash bar.  The soul and R and B will roll.  Then at 10, the show begins.  You will be entertained by a multi-cultural array of spoken word and musical artists.  Two are usually scheduled as the featured performers and several others will walk on and share a piece or two.  The host, Byron Holmes and the DJ, Eric Easley create a welcome space for up and coming  performance poets, singers, songwriters and hip hop artists.

This is where beatnik meets hip hop, folk meets soul and people dress up for a night on the town.  Come on down to the Luxurious Poetry Lounge@Suite1001 in the Pullman Plaza Hotel.  Check out the facebook page, FRIDAY’S@Suite 1001 for more information.
