You're Going to Die: Poetry, Prose, & Everything Goes

Bay Area Open Mics Event Link The Lost Church was the brainchild of musicians Brett and Elizabeth Cline, who turned the living room of their Mission District apartment into a small theater (the name came from Cline's failed indie label 'The Lost Church of Rock n' Roll': 'They lost money; hence, The Lost Church'). The couple opened the new SF venue in 2022 on Colombus Avenue. The entrance is nondescript and easy to miss, but inside you'll find the incredible velvet-curtained stage known to fans of their mostly acoustic events. You're Going to Die is a monthly grief & gratitude open mic exploring death and dying in a community context. Running since 2009, its SF edition meets at The Lost Church .
