In the spirit of really open mic, tonight's Baby Hair at the Deer Pile goes a step further and invites virtually any kind of performer to take the stage: Poets, writers, musicians and artists of all kinds can share their work during the Ides of March edition in this community space.

"Baby Hair is essentially an open mic that revolves around female and/or queer writers, musicians, performance artists, comedians and whatever else can be found," says Sara Century, who organizes the monthly gathering with Erica Adams.

The Baby Hair stage is open to all sorts of new performance concepts.The only criteria, Century adds, is a "serious emphasis on the queer/female aspect, because we really don't want people showing up who wouldn't be comfortable with that."

Tonight's edition of Baby Hair starts at 8 p.m.; sign-ups for performance slots begins at 7:30 p.m. Admission is a suggested $3 donation. For more information, visit the Baby Hair Facebook page.
