 he Unofficial Soup Kitchen has been around in many incarnations since 1993. Starting as a weekly open mic performance venue in Chicago, it has gone on to become a bar, a poetry jamboree and traveling minstrel show, a small press publishing concern, a guerrilla community advocacy outfit, and now, a sprawling web site with an emphasis on being an inclusive venue for artists of all disciplines and a community, both virtual and embodied, where diversity and tolerance thrive.
 lick on the icons on the right to visit the attractions and the corresponding forums for conversation and discussion that collectively make up the on-going digital renaissance festival that is The Unofficial Soup Kitchen.
 e hope you
enjoy your visit.
Sincerely,
The USK Production Team
