I wonder if there are any venues in Waseca, or in Waseca County for that
matter, that would be willing to have an open mic night. Would you attend?
Would you have something to offer? What if it started, say, 7:00p.m. and
went to 10:00p.m., with a half-hour time limit for each person who signs
up. That's a limit of six people per night, doing what they love to do,
with plenty of time afterward for drinks and chatter. Just an idea - feel
free to post your ideas in the handy comment box below.

Now, on to the weekend. On the night of Friday, October 23rd there's a DJ
playing at PJs Tavern, and Club 57 will be hosting the band Good for Gary.
A peek at their myspace page revealed another Twin Cities cover band. They
are pretty well organized, with a nice variety of tunes. One thing made me
particularly happy - the fact that they specifically posted "We don't do
Nickelback." But then, I was saddened again by the appearance of All
American Rejects in their song list. Oh well, you can't win them all. They
have an entertaining cover of "Pinball Number Count" on their myspace
page. You remember that song, don't you? From Sesame Street? Sing with me,
"One-two-three-FOUR FIVE, six-seven-eight-NINE TEN, ELEVEN TWELVE!" That
may just be enough reason for me to see this band, All American Rejects
covers aside.
Then on Saturday, October 24th, PJs and Club 57 switch off again. A DJ
will be mixing up some tunes at Club 57, and at PJ's Tavern you can go
listen to more live covers from The Foolish Mortals. They are not, as one
would assume from their band name, a strictly metal cover band. Their song
list includes a plethora of singles from the 50's onward, songs that we
all know the lyrics to, but I have to question some of the choices again.
My Sharona? Really? I listened to the sampler available on their myspace
page and wasn't too impressed with what they had to offer, but it could
just be that the recording quality wasn't very good. The lead vocalist
grated on me, I'm sorry to say.
That is all that I was able to find for this weekend. There is a live band
playing at Katie O'Leary's on Friday night, but their name is not posted
on the Katie's website, and I don't have time to run by and look at the
poster on the door before I submit this blog. I'll put it up in the
comments as soon as I can.
Cheers everyone! I'm looking forward to seeing what everyone has to offer
Halloween weekend! It should be a nice mix of music, contests, prizes, and
specials!
