My attempts to create an Open at the Mama Buzz Cafe have failed. The
will be no open mic at the Mama Buzz cafe. The "Every Second Sunday"
open mic has been double booked for the second month in a row. It is
clear I'm not suited to be the host of an open mic. Thank you all for
your interest and support. My sincerest apologies to all musicians
poets that hoped and even planned for this open mic.



Best of wishes to all.

Hello new friend! I dig your style darlin', sweet sentimentality, honest, and charming.
I'm in Milwaukee most of the time (I'm going to school here). I was living in Chicago over the summer, but it's still a city I frequent often... or frequently. I see you're coming into town (both towns!) pretty soon! Are you set on the shows? I could help out if anything falls through, but if all goes smooth I'll most likely see you there!
