Yes folks, we have a new sign-up sheet for the wed. night open mic. Last week was the first night for it and it was sucsessful! The show now starts at 7:30...and hopefully ends at 11:00. There are now alotted time slots that "contestants" can choose from. Each slot is 20 minutes with 5 minutes for set-up. We had to do this so that whoever signs up is guaranteed a spot. This will prevent others for running over their alotted time and pushing others off the list. If you are a full blown band and need more than 20 minutes, you may sign up for 2 slots back to back, provided we don't have a full house. If you are a single person act, you will be limited to 1 slot. We ask that everyone watch the big clock and at the side of the stage and stop when your time is up. If you band needs more time than the 2 slots back to back, or need to do a "small recording session", call us ahead of time (a few days in advance is prefered) or let us know during one open mic night for the next, and we will set it up for you as the opening act. We will do our best to accomodate you. Now the big rule......If your time slot comes up and you are not ready, it will be forfeited and the schedule will be moved down to that slot. If your equipment needs tuning, we suggest that you go up during the act before you and start tuning behind stage or to the side of the stage. That way when your number is called, you can get to it. With all this said, we belive that you will agree that this new process is the way to go. Some of the acts last week liked it and we think that the rest of you all will too. As always, I will be there to asist and do recordings for whoever wants them. Good luck and we will see you all there!
