Open Mic\/Open Stage: Moment of Optimism Edition!
Advertisement
November has arrived and The Blue Tsunami has rolled over the Midterm Elections and bought us all a bit of breathing space.
Although the hardest work (and the craziest crap) is still ahead of us; we can take a moment to feel positive, take stock of the situation, and have an especially optimistically celebratory Hootenanny!!!
As always we shall rock out like monkeys while enjoying the hell out of each other's company and the ecstasy of sharing ourselves in a fearless forthright fashion.
Y'all know how we roll; an eclectic array of talented performers, a passel of scintillating spectators, and the gorgeous North Street Cabaret with its panoply of inexpensive libations.
"Universal Liberation Through Creative Self-Actualization"* is our motto and a rocking good time for all is our goal.
These festivities are as rewarding for the audience as they are for the performers, SO THEREFORE:
Come on by and enjoy the Joy and the Love!!!

*More T-shirts with that motto shall be available!!! In S, M, XL, XXL, and XXXL (Currently Out Of Large)
