Is it the first Wednesday of the month yet?!
The Harvesters
Am I the only one that gets excited the closer it gets to the next Harvest event? Go on and admit it! You leave work on Wednesday faking a hacking cough so it won't be so obvious when you call out Thursday morning after fun, fun and more fun at The Harvest! Don't worry we won't tell!

Meanwhile, Spoken Soul 215
is getting quite comfy in our new locale at 40th and Walnut with the plush seating-surround sound-elevated stage-two bar throw down! ...
So tell 3 more friends and come out to this month's music meets poetry meets the best talent in Philly event!

Last month's recap: Maybe it was the open micnew atmosphere, or it was the hundreds-some folks that came to the spot, it could have been the great open bar or even the fire performers brought to the mic...actually it was all of the above! Especially some WOW moments on the mic that included MJ duet tap dancing, clever haikus, philly youth poets, guitar-strumming feature and a deep poem about giving er...um...well, you had to be there! eh hem...Not to mention DJ Maggie thUMP made us miss MJ even more...so much that we collectively wore white glitter gloves (actually a tool glove via Home Depot...but hey same same) and broke out in our most fave Thriller dance moves sans self-grabs but with plenty of "he he's" and "shuh mons!"

=======================================================

thAt The Harvest: Marathon Grill hospitality, plush seating, two bars, big screen viewing, elevated stage, surround system, fantabulous lighting, live music, GREAT feature performers, mind blowin' open mic, giveaways, Skyy Vodka, Vitamin Water, American Dream Magazine, London's own Maggie ThUMP on the turntables, photog Sharvon capturing your best smile, BUJE marketing greeting you at the door and Spoken Soul 215 present and ready to make this a night to remember!
THIS MONTH'S SPECIAL GUEST(S)...
It's time to get our sing along on! U.City will be in the house singing their hearts out! Their album, The Fall, is a must-have for your music collection! See them live at The Harvest this month!

The 5 Harvest Must-Haves!
Forget the designer bags or techie gadgets! There are some trendy trinkets and fashionable experiences that you must have to fit into the Swexy ambiance at The Harvest!...
==================================================
5. Friends
guestsI mean you could come solo and still be as fly as a swatter...buuut coming with friends guarantees the fun will be maximized times two and the ticket price cut by $2!...Saving money is cool, hanging with friends at a great event is even cooler!


4. Front row seating

front row guestsIt feels a little something like the VIP section at a swanky club and winning the lottery but with a little more accessibility and a lot less restrictions...just get there early and you too have a chance to sit in the infamous "sexy section"...'cause being early is soooo sexy!


3. Spoken Soul Tees

soul teesOur in-house designer "Mr. DiVirgilio" is making a name for himself in homegrown fashion with our Spoken Soul line of tees. It's the tee that is perfectly OK to be seen in more than once and at the same time as someone else rockin' their "POET" or "SPOKEN SOUL" style...and it only costs $5 to be in the "in" crowd...

2. Pics with SS215 members

ss215 and guestsEven though there is no such thing as "celebrity" at The Harvest you won't have to fight a SS215 member to stop what they are doing to flash their pearly whites at the nearest camera with their best pose. Up your cool quotient (or ours) by doing the same with us in a pic, post it on your Facebook...instant local Harvest popularity!...No autographs please!

1. Slot on the open mic list
open mic
Willie Wonka's Golden Ticket ain't got nothin' on a spot on the open mic list! So much so that folks have been very "creative" when trying to sign up...from signing their name and a couple or five friends, to signing under two pseudonyms,  or stalking the list table an hour before the doors open...someone even emailed us two days before the show to ask about signing the list!

Honestly...the best way to get on our list is to simply show up a little early or on time and sign your name and only your name. The first 12 folks are guaranteed and everyone after is a strong maybe-but-if-not-we-still-love-you basis. No funny business, no special hook-ups. We have 3 slots that we fill with surprise bonus guests and sometimes a special feature...otherwise it's up to you and The Harvest open mic gods! But here's a little secret: even if you're not on the list, you're still at The Harvest...and that, ladies and gents is THE must have of all must haves!

We MUST have YOU at The Harvest to make it what it is! So see you there!
THANK YOU...
to the GREAT folks who make The Harvest happen...

THE GIVEBACK
Reaping What We Sow

When you attend, we give...
A portion of proceeds from each Harvest event is donated to support a good cause.
THE HARVEST
If it is true that we reap what we sow, then let us sow seeds of justice, of righteousness, let us plant our dreams in fields of our ancestors, water them with sweet hymns, give them the light of our intention and the oxygen of our prayers.

Let us be Harvesters of our potential, of our brother's and sister's creative longings. Let us bring forth who we are, and hunger no more.
