Attending the reading is one of the classic experiences of the Five Points neighborhood.

Likely attendees are the longtime members of Alan Justiss's court:
Folio writer, Shelton Hull. (and this week former Folio writer and present member of Black Kids, Owen Holmes showed up for Justiss as well)

Diogenes, the Dog, Daniel the Love Poet and many of the other pillars of Jax Poetry are all back in the hood.
The Cafe is perfectly quirky and laid back. It's on Lomax Street across from Subway and next door to Steamworks.
The place is open until 3am and they serve everything from perfectly pulled espresso to Vietnamese coffee (a personal favorite...it rocks to find it correctly made in Jacksonville)

The reading is an open sign up and begins at about 8 and goes to about 10.
Totally worthwhile, and seeing Justiss is something that it would be absurd to miss if you actually live in Jacksonville.
