## The story

The Velvet Kettle put a stool and a microphone in the corner every Thursday, and the clipboard filled up fast. Kids in side-swept bangs and studded belts played songs about lockers and rainy bus rides. Somebody always read a poem that rhymed orange with door hinge. Parents waited in the parking lot with the engine running.

## Fun fact

The Velvet Kettle's open mic stool wobbled so badly that regulars called it part of the act.
