Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf

Soapbox Sessions (music, comedy, poetry)
Every Thursday at 7pm

Hosted by jason.b

Save yourself the agony! This was without a doubt the worst 'open mic' I've ever been to in my life! And I've been to many, many of them in major cities like Los Angeles, Boston/Cambridge, New York & Philadelphia. The 'host' rambled on & on & on about nonsense, as we waited (freezing outside) while countless amateurs read pseudo-poetry and un-funny 'comedy' from notepads… all of whom were allowed to violate the '7 minute' restriction. After 2 hours and only 12 'performers' (we were #23 on the sign-in list), bogus host Jason declared that everyone would now be limited to only 1 song… then brought up about 10 of his friends/roommates who jammed pure cr*p for about 15 minutes. It took 4 hours to get to us… my singer was shaking from the cold by then. THIS IS THE POOREST EXCUSE FOR AN OPEN MIC I HAVE EVER SEEN!!!! RUN AWAY FROM THIS INSULT TO THE ENTIRE ENTERTAINMENT COMMUNITY!!!!!!!!!
Roy (9/2008): WOW! I went to this open mic for the first time last night, and it was AMAZING!!! I have lived in Los Angeles for 5 years now, and this is the coolest open mic I have been to out here yet! The people are super inviting, super talented, and the energy is super positive. All around it is a super time!
Alicia (4/2008): See you a couple of Tuesdays from now. Gigging out of town !!! Take care all
John Kaye (3/2008): yep.
