Open micWednesdays when scheduling allows — Open Mic at Goodnights — Sign up online: sign-ups open the morning after the previous mic and close the Sunday evening before; prepare 3 minutes; the lineup is posted by Tuesday night, with some bucket-draw spots on the night. The club's FAQ describes a box-office sign-up from 6:30 to 7:15 PM with a random draw instead, so check which applies. The mic moves to Room 861 when the main showroom has a show source ↗
