Rocky River Starbucks, Open Mic

Hi, we had a GREAT Open Mic at University Circle Arabica last Wednesday - thanks to everyone who cam by to perform: Carrie and Zack and Rick, Alysa, Emily, Mark Ruppe, Caitlyn, Richard and the Mount Nepal Orchestra - what fun! Last week I stopped into the Starbucks Open Mic at Rocky River, and it was very calm, to calm, they don't have a 'scene' yet but I suppose they would like to grow one, which will be difficult at best without a dedicated host - and without a P.A. or microphone or, uhm, anything at all!! They are all a bunch of real nice people there though, the barristas anyhow, they seem to all be musicians. Century Tavern has a nice open mic, great place to play, Chris and Veronica bring in a real good P.A. to play through (a big Fender rig) and I am gonna keep my eye on things out there - can't wait to play there again soon, had to cancel a Saturday night couple weeks ago).

Tim Fry has his C.D. release party tonight at the Winchester Tavern in Lakewood should be fun, I plan on dropping in there (if I can find the place)

The U.C.A. is gonna be 'converted' into a recording studio again on Sat. Nov. 12 as per Adam Probert and Strange Love Recording and this time Adam is bringing MORE DAT tape to cover about 5 hours of actual recording. YSTOP Records will be in attendance with several artists from their roster. More details pending, if you want to be recorded, plan on hanging out from between 7pm and 11pm.


More later...
