   About Mercury Cafe Open Mic
The Mercury Cafe, at 1505 W. Chicago Ave in the city of wind, is home to a brand new open mic night. We will be holding the open mic every first Wednesday. Open to anyone, we've already been host to poetry and short story readings, performance art, a slew of songwriters, and a few bands. Hosted by local singer/songwriter Matt Gandurski, the open mic takes place from about 6:30 to 9pm every first Wednesday of the month. Early sign up is welcome for artists, and recommended if you want to guarantee a slot, just drop us a line on here. Be sure to include your name and a brief description of what you do. Keep in mind, we use a very small PA, just a mic and speaker, so if you're a band, or an artist with a complicated setup, make sure you let us know first. Guess that's about it for now, stay tuned for updates, and come on out for some good coffee, food, and entertainment. See you there.

hello to everyone at the mercury cafe!!

I added you as I thought you might be interested in what I am doing.

Six_events is a worldwide performance project, looking for the art in the everyday. So far, there will be hundreds of group/individual performances in Spain, America (15 states), Egypt, China, India, Greece, Japan, Italy, England, Scotland, Ireland, Finland, Portugal, Germany, Serbia, Canada, New Zealand, Latvia, Azerbaijan, Australia, Malaysia and Israel across the last week in January (21st-27th)

Document your performances with pictures/films/poetry/drawings and they will be exhibited in London in February.

If you are interested in taking part and would like me to send you a reminder nearer the time about this then just send an email to six_events@yahoo.co.uk (tell me where you are as well!)

thanks for reading :)

I love your open mic- I can literally pick up my dry cleaning at yo-yo laundromat and then stop by on my way home to hear some original music. What more could anyone want?

Hello, there!
I was travelling for the month of April, so I didn't have the chance to wish you a Happy Easter... So I wish you a Happy May Day instead! ;-> Hope all's well with you.
Smiles,

Sorry I couldn't make it out tonight...or make out with you either.

Both things require a working automobile, of which i have not...to make it out to Mercury Cafe, or make out with you.

I hate the suburbs.
