notes of gratitude to ALL the mad ones!

0n 10.07.09, Mad Swirl continued doing the mad-gical open mic voodoo that what we do-do-do. This month we featured the magician, poet and "mad medicine" man Merlin the Magical One. T'was quite the mad-bra-cadabra night as the long-haired mystical Magical One did his darndest to both blow and open our minds.

Then it was on to the open mic madness where Johnny O called all you mystically mad poets, musicians & dancers come to strut your mad stuff!!

A very special swirlin’ thanks to the mystical hep cats who are Swirve. We dug the scene that amazin' mad man Chris Curiel on trumpet, Tamitha Curiel on vocals and Gerard Bendiks on skins created to keep us movin', groovin' all night long!

HUGE thanks to Absinthe Lounge owner (and the hippest of the hip) Kevin Christensen 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 of you 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.

where's this madness take place?

Absinthe Lounge is located in the SouthSide on Lamar building.
