On 04.02.08 we called all you mad ones, beatniks, hipsters & ca-razy cats out there to dig on the Mad Swirling Open Mic action at Absinthe Lounge and you came...in record numbers!
30!, yes 30! wailin’ poets, musicians, rappers and a couple miscellaneous mad ones for good measure came gatherin' 'round to turn the mic on!
Swirve started wailin’ & playin’ ’round 8:00. Your mad host Johnny O and April's guest co-hostess with the mostest Opalina Salas woke the mic up ’round 8:45-ish & the mic closed when we run out of gas & it was time to cut out.
Mad Swirling gratitude to ALL you mad ones who made this past 1st Wednesday one for the record books, both in numbers and in the levels of intense insanity...
