So, last night was the last open mic night at Monrovia Coffee Co. The management announced that they had decided to suspend it because profits were slipping on Monday nights. We, the performers, were left pretty clueless about the matter... in fact, we were kind of in the middle of a small advertising campaign when it happened. So... doh.

Yesterday my friends went home early and I drowned my sorrows in the soundtrack of The Sound of Music, and, this morning, Ben Folds Five's first album, 'cause it always makes me feel better.

Anyway, we may move on to a new venue where the management is more cooperative and appreciative... but until then...

"I know I will hear what I've heard before
My heart will be blessed with the sound of music
And I'll sing once more."
