Open Mic Night - Coffee Haven, Long Beach - Fridays @ 8pm

-----------------------------------

The address and info for this one:

Coffee Haven
1708 E. Broadway, Long Beach
562-437-3785
Open Mic Starts at 8pm

The sign up starts in the morning, and you can phone in to reserve yourself a spot. &nbsp;It's probably a good idea to do this. &nbsp;Wendy and I showed up at about 6:30pm and ended up with spot #19. &nbsp;I can't remember what time it was exactly when we finally performed, but it was towards the end and pretty late. &nbsp;I think there was one person after us. &nbsp;

For equipment, the place has 2 microphones and a 1/4" inch cable for their P.A. system. &nbsp;Each performer is allowed 2 songs, or 8 minutes of time each.

Wendy and I went there and performed a song on the 6th of this month. &nbsp;Also performing that evening were a whole lot of really, really bad comedians (and a couple decent ones). &nbsp;In fact, the place seemed to be mostly comedians, but there were a significant amount of musical performers there as well. &nbsp;

Overall the vibe was pretty relaxed and supportive. &nbsp;We'll likely perform there again.
