Garland, Do you live in a small town? Just curious cuz your open mic looks very different than the one's I've been to. Everybody seems to just be minding their own business doing their own thing.

Here, at least the ones I've gone to which are usually in a small to medium sized pub. There's usually a minimum of 20 to 40 people there, sometimes more. Most of the people actually pay attention to and watch and listen to those of us performing (kinda like a small intimate and interactive concert) while only a few sit and talk and eat do their own thing.

Your situation looks kinda like the coffee house thing I tried once where it was made clear to me that I was there to provide ambiance and "background" music. But still, people seemed to pay more attention. Just wondering if this is a Canadian or small or big town thing.

=====================================
"Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will
give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I
am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your
souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light."
- Jesus, from Matthew 11:28-30

TonyKgull, no, I live about 20 miles from where this takes place... they were afraid they were goin to run out of tables because of the size of the birthday party group... at most there were 30 people there.... in better weather we'll move outside where there is an actual stage and a lot more seating... and room to dance if people are so inclined... last week there were some teen age girls, (4) dancin with each other.... I went outside to get my truck warmed up before I left and they were "line dancin" in the parking lot

in short sleeves

the temp was 30 degrees!

But, it is a kind of intimate atmosphere... no rowdies so far... just a lot of chatter from everyone at the same time...
