SPLAB! has archived a great deal of material which relates to past workshops, programs, and goals. Over the years much of this material has been presented on this website. Though many of the pages are not in same format as the rest of the site, and you may find a few broken links, we believe that this material has value as a chronicle of SPLAB's past, and therefore present it here for your perusal.
More archived materials are also available by clicking the Super Bowl of Poetry, Visiting Poets Series, SPLAB! on the Road, and Bios links above.

For 25 years Red Sky was the longest continuously-running poetry open mic on the West Coast. It ended in 2005, but a successful reunion was staged on December 14, 2007 at the Richard Hugo House and more readings are planned for the first Sundays in February, March and April, 2009. One person said, "There are a lot of open mics in Seattle, but Red Sky is a poetry reading."
