Comment by Kevin M. Kraft on August 7, 2014 at 8:56pm: Yup, makes two performers. Lost the caricature artist as well. What else can go wrong? LOL I shouldn't ask that, should I?

But I'm going to meet the restaurant owner tomorrow afternoon, so that'll be cool.

Comment by Cause the Blue rat on August 7, 2014 at 3:46pm: Bummer you've lost a performer. I think it's amazing you have as many as you do. Looking forward to hearing them all.

Comment by Kevin M. Kraft on August 7, 2014 at 2:02am: The 15 minutes time for OPEN MIKE is approximate, but should allow about three people to do one song each. We just lost another performer, so we have even more wiggle room as far as time goes.

Comment by Uncle John on August 3, 2014 at 5:30am: I hope you do too, Rat. Get up early and talk to Kevin and volunteer for it. There are a whole lot of people on the schedule I want to hear. Don't be late, the start off guy is fantastic and a real showman.

Comment by Cause the Blue rat on August 3, 2014 at 5:05am: 15 minutes of open mic? Hope to get one song in.
