The Beat Climate Change Coffee House this Saturday at 7 pm promises to 
be quite a fun evening - if you have any decorations from the 1950's you 
can lend for the decor it would be fun to see how we can create a 
beatnik coffee house and celebrate climate change efforts...a positive 
evening full of ideas and laughter (I'm sure about this part anyway).  
Loaned items could be table decorations, lamps, posters (or make one 
that reflects the beatnik language), records, or tablecloths.

You can also be a part of the talent by reading a poem or two, playing 
an instrument, or becoming an actor in one of three very short plays.  
Please email or call me if you have decor to loan (Annie Warmke: 
annie at bluerockstation.com or 740/674-4300).  Thanks

See What to Wear at the end of the poster:

Beatniks were about pushing against the conformity of the 1950s and 
1960s, and illuminating their lives with literature, music and experiences.

Black was in. A black turtleneck sweater or boatneck shirt is perfect 
for a beatnik ensemble. If you’re feeling daring, don a black leotard 
with black tights -- you’ll radiate beatnik with a straight black skirt. 
If turtlenecks and leotards aren’t for you, try a black-and-white 
striped sweater.

Leggings or “cigarette” pants (think skinny black jeans) will compliment 
the rest of the beatnik look. If dressing up “in the cards”, pair a 
fitted black pencil skirt with black tights and you'll be ready for a 
jazz club.

Beatniks weren’t concerned with posh jewelry or flashy bohemian 
statement pieces. A black beret or simple pair of tarnished silver 
earrings is ideal. No jewelry at all is okay too -- just carry a book of 
poetry as your accessory. Beatnik hair and makeup was understated; a 
simple black cat-eye or thin line of kohl liner is enough.
