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

For equipment, the place has 2 microphones and a 1/4" inch cable for their P.A. system.  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.  Also performing that evening were a whole lot of really, really bad comedians (and a couple decent ones).  In fact, the place seemed to be mostly comedians, but there were a significant amount of musical performers there as well.  

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