mad swirl open mic night
Mad Swirl kicks off each 1st Wednesday open mic night with a special opening "swirling it up" set that showcases a medley of featured mad ones.
Join us next Open Mic as we swirl it up when some of the mad ones from DFW Open Mics presents the Mochalux Experience! Don’t wish you were there, JUST BE THERE on the next 1st Wednesday...
08.05.09 : Absinthe Lounge : 8:00
Swirve will kick off the mad swirlin' festivities with some tunes to get us movin', groovin' and steppin' leading us into the Mochalux Experience from 8:15 - 9:15
Then it's on to the open mic madness where Johnny O & guest co-host Paul Sexton, will be callin' all you mad poets, musicians, dancers, actors, singers, performers & any other miscellaneous mad ones in the Dallas/Fort Worth area to come & strut your mad stuff!
notes of gratitude to the ALL the mad ones!
On 07.01.09 Mad Swirl continued the swirling up of our open mic...this time with a twist and a grind! We featured the Dallas slam poets from The Poetry Grind and they brought some slammin' madness to the open mic! These grinders brought their slam to the Mad Swirl stage and along with Tidbits (2/3), served us a heaping plate of flowing, glowing, poetry! Sincere gratitude to the following mad ones from The Poetry Grind...
"Konnichiwa" Zach Schrotter (feature host)
Eric Breland
Victory
Trayce
Jason Carney
Amy Weaver
Bob "Whoopeecat" Stephenson
Then it was on to the usual unusual open mic madness as Johnny O & co-host Konnichiwa called all the mad poets, musicians, singers, comedians & performers to come & strut their mad stuff! They came. They saw. And well...we all went mad!
