Oh the Mad Swirl Open Mic Madness Will Flow! (02.04.09)

Salutations!
1st Wednesday's the day.
Take off to Mad places,
and Swirl away!

You have words in your head.
You have songs in your groove
The mic is wide open
for which ever you choose.
You are a Mad One.
And you know how to flow.
And YOU are the One
who'll make it all glow.

We call all you mad
poets, musicians and singers
miscellaneous mad ones,
even Elvis dead-ringers!
Come show what you got
and come do what you do
we'll be ready and waiting
this mic's open for you.

You say to yourself
"I'm not a participator."
We welcome you too
you mad swirlin' appreciators!
Come get you a drink
($2 drafts/$5 wells)
and dig on this scene
it's always quite swell

Swirve opens the show
sometime around 8-ish
Then we get starting to roll
don't be too late-ish.

Mad Swirl Open Mic
is the place you should be
every 1st Wednesday
where insanity is free.

Oh! The Madness Will Flow!

Notes of Gratitude to the Mad Swirling Open Mic Ones...

Notes of Gratitude to ALL the Mad Ones...

Auld acquaintance were not forgot,
And t'was definitely brought to mind.
Auld acquaintance were not forgot,
And we honored auld lang syne.

Auld acquaintances were not forgotten this past 1st Wednesday at Absinthe Lounge as we brought in the double-aught nine with a night of beat-utiful swirling madness! T'was a night to remember and embrace...with old and new mad acquaintances spreading the poetic and musical voo-doo that they do do...appreciators sharing their handclaps, fingersnaps, hootinations and affirmations...thank-you, thank-you and thank-you. They all had their hands in the Mad Swirling creative collective that made this 1st Wednesday what it was, what it is and what it will be as we move forward into '09.

With the most sincerest of praises and respect, Mad Swirl would like to thank and recognize the mad ones who brought in '09 with swirlin' vivacity on 01.07.09...
