There is always another place in Austin to be discovered. This was my first time at the Ruta Maya Coffee House, located on South Congress about 3 miles south of the downtown area. (I've lived here 12 years) My daughter and her friend had a school assignment for their speech class which involved critiquing. I did see this guy in the picture there - he must be a regular. Tuesday nights are open mic night for poets from 6:00 to 9:00, we were there for this. Would have liked to stay the 9:00 to midnight for the open mic music - another time I guess. We listened to about 9 or 10 different poets. If you have some poetry that you want to share, you simply put your name on the sign-up sheet and you'll have your time on stage. Now, my simple mind didn't understand 90 percent of what was said but I still enjoyed it. I highly recommend you experience Tuesday night at Ruta Maya - something different!
