open mics 25 and 26

Date: 20 May, 2011
Venue: Hollywood Hotel

Ooh. A new venue means new opportunities. I think there's something to be said for trying to perform at as many open mics as possible, because there's always a slightly different crowd at each one, and the more people you expose yourself to, the better.

The room is in the basement of the Hollywood Hotel. It's closeby and there's sometimes actually an audience, it seems. Slightly different crowd leads to different opportunities. My set was almost all new jokes, and that went better. This lead to one of the comics taking time after my set to tell me about another bar that had another open mic that night, would I be interested in going?

Yes. Yes I would

Date: later that night
Venue: Westwood Brewing Company (brew co)

There's a lot to like about this space. It's late at night, It's got good food and people will actually wander in from the party going on outside. They'll all be drunk, but that's sometimes good.
I feel like I'm starting to get somewhere now. I've got people who like my premises. Open mic #24 wasn't good, but compared to that, open mic #s 25 and 26 were better. And that's why I do it.
