Mad Swirl featuring Swirve 12.02.09

0n 12.02.09, Mad Swirl continued doing the poetic & musical open mic voodoo that what we do do as we featured the mad trio from Swirve & Friends! The crowd in the Lounge dug the musical musings of Chris & Tamitha Curiel along with Gerard Bendiks on skins. Then we pondered the poetic performances from Donna Renee Anderson and Tammy Gomez as this Swirvin' crew moved us and grooved us thru their feature set!

After we got our Swirve on, host Johnny O and guest co-host Tamitha Curiel got to callin' all the mad poets, musicians, dancers, actors, singers, performers & any other miscellaneous mad ones in Absinthe Lounge to come & strut their mad stuff! And strut it they did!
