::: Notes of Gratitude to ALL the Mad Ones :::0n 09.02.09, Mad Swirl continued doing the poetic & musical open mic voodoo that what we do do do. All the loco local hipsters gathered 'round, diggin' on the scene. They came armed with hand-claps and finger-snaps as we kicked off the with our feature set.
A Night of Beat-itudes was our ode to the beats that inspired us to be what we be. Our most sincerest gratitiudes to our featured beat aficionados... (pics coming sooner then later)

Johnny OThis beat-tific crew reminded us why these beat legendary poets, writers & musicians still hold a place in our mad, mad hearts. Swirve kicked off the mad swirlin' festivities with some tunes to get us movin', groovin' and steppin' lead us into this beat-u-till-full evening.
Then it was on to the open mic madness where Johnny O & guest co-host Opalina Salas, called all the hip chicks and daddy-o's out there to share their soul. We called all the mad poets, musicians, singers, comedians & performers to come & strut their mad stuff! They came. They saw. We dug. We dig.
