FAQ

1. Where do I get tickets?

You don’t. It’s free. Just show up before we run out of space.

2. Can I bring something to read?

Yes, please. This is an open-mic event, and it only works when people actually bring things to read in front of other. Too many spectators makes for a short and boring night. Sign-up is on a first-come, first-served basis, but I’d really appreciate an email if you plan on bringing something, just so I can gauge the numbers.

3. What can I read?

Basically whatever you want, so long as it’s yours and it’s short. Here are the three rules that govern what you can read at a GRTTWaK event:

  1. You have to be the one who wrote it, as a kid
  2. You have to be the one who reads it, as an adult
  3. It has to be short (<5 minutes-ish)

4. What does “kid” mean?

Kid = whatever you consider kid to mean. One of the best things about GRTTWaK is the wide variety of things people bring to read. We’ve had stuff from early elementary school all the way up to college age writing. Bring whatever you want.

5. Is GRTTWaK a really great first date?

Yes.
