mad swirl open mic
the swirling madness was palpable this past 1st wednesday at mad swirl's open mic & benefit on 05.07.08. the first-ever mad swirl live auction & raffle was a swirling success as we raised over $420 dollars to go towards the production of mad swirl six: the blue note issue! thanks to each and every mad one that participated in and appreciated the insanity that made this mementous night one to remember!
be a part of the whole mad swirl of everything to come on 06:04:08 as we once again open this mad mad mic at absinthe lounge to all you swirling mad ones!
