The Café hosted an open mic and a regular feature show at 5115 North Lincoln Ave. (just south of Foster) in Chicago, IL through the end of 2011 (where The Café Gallery was then hosted by Gallery Cabaret, 2020 North Oakley Ave. in Chicago). All pre-2012 listings relate to the Café (all 2012 + links are to Gallery Cabaret). Because recordings from recent years are so video-intensive, we have separated each weekly recorded listing into its own web page. In the meantime, feel free to choose a date to listen to sound clips from.(Also note that amongst all available audio files available on this page, all Macintosh .aif files, Linux .au files and Windows .wav files are low resolution versions of all of the poetry readings available. The only CD quality versions of these audio recordings are in the available mp3 files.) Following is a list of dates (from most recent to oldest) of Kuypers performances at The Café and The Café Gallery through Gallery Cabaret, including weekly intros to every open mic. They all contain poetry, but some contain music ... For songs done at the Café in honor of MFV guitarist Warren Peterson, check out a hundred Milton Berles Fly Away; for all additional tracks performed at the Café, go to the Janet Kuypers music at the Café page.
