This is a showcase for local musicians, poets, and freaks of various flavors. Variety and acoustic performances are encouraged. The unique feature about this particular open mic is that the audience is very respectful and supportive - they LISTEN, as contrasted with other open mic venues in the area which usually take place in a bar setting where people can be less than attentive and respectful of performers. It is a good idea to show up a bit before start time to sign up for a slot.
