Oh yes, we dare...

And while we're feelin' all dare-y, we dare ALL OF YOU mad poets, musicians, actors, singers, performers and all you miscellaneous mad ones (fire-eaters, Elvis impersonators, circus freaks, Tenacious D rip-offs) in the Dallas-Ft. Worth area to come and strut yo' stuff. Come one, come all! Step right up and participate, appreciate, and support your local Mad Ones.

This 1st Wednesday at Dallas' Absinthe Lounge, the Swirve trio will step up and open things 'round 8:00. Johnny O will be waking the mic up 'round 8:30-ish. And the mic closes when there's no one left standing.

Notes of Gratitude to the ALL the Mad Ones!



And the Lord Swirl Spoketh..."You must spread the MADNESS to the MASSES. You must beseech ALL the MAD ONES and the 'AWWW'-ers to open their hearts. Ye shall tell them to give of their poems, songs, stories, monologues, dance & their sacrificial love offerings of applause and finger-snaps to the ministry of the MAD Swirl OPEN MIC"

And Lord Swirl saw every MAD thing that we had done, and, BEHOLD, it was very good.

So brothers and sisters, we thank those that fell on their knees and Listened to the dear Lord Swirl who came on 09.03.08 to witness the madness... (pics coming sooner then later)
