Open Mic

First Published: 2022 April

Draft 1

For a variety of reasons,1 I haven’t been going to open mics since around February. I went again tonight, and I forgot just how much fun they are. I got to sing a song that I’ve been working on for a while,2 and at the prompting of a friend I sang a great song with another friend.3 The friend who made the recommendation is also a fantastic musician and was willing to take requests. It’s really fun singing Three is a Magic Number4 with other adults, especially when everyone is over trying to look cool.

I’m really excited to make open mics a regular part of my schedule again.
