On 08.05.09, we found ourselves there again. 1st Wednesday. Absinthe Lounge. 8:00-ish on the dot-ish. That could have meant only one thing...that we were about to kick-off the night’s madness with a special "swirling it up" set showcasing a medley of loco local mad ones!
This past 1st Wednesday we featured, ALL the way from Arlington, Texas, the mad ones from DFW Open Mics who presented us with the Mochalux Experience! That’s right, Mad Swirl Open Mic transformed into the Mochalux Experience right before our mad, mad eyes! Featured in this set were...
Paul Sexton (host)
Roderick Richardson
Josh Cooley
Devorah Titunik
David Crandall

A very special swirlin’ thanks to Swirve's amazin' mad man Chris Curiel on trumpet and Tamitha Curiel on vocals for keeping us movin', groovin' and steppin' all night long!
And HUGE thanks to Absinthe Lounge owner Kevin for allowing us mad ones to go with our flow for almost 5 years now. And a shout-out to the fine Lounge staffers Brian and John for keeping the mad spirits fillin' and swillin' for us mad ones.
And finally we would like to thank ALL the appreciators who freely shared their hand claps, finger-snaps, hoots and howls with all the mad ones who got up on this sacred mad swirlin' mic.
