WHOTTA DAY! Show cancellations, new booking, more...

These are the kinds of days that you wish you could just hit the RESET button on...

Okay, the two open-mics I just announced a few days ago at After Dark have both been canceled.  Blame the state of Ohio for not renewing the club's liquor license.  They are closing down after this weekend.  I can't be pissed at anyone at the club, I do know enough of what had been going on there before I booked July's open-mic.  The owners are great people, and Paula, the manager as long as I've been going to the club, is wonderful.  I'm hopeful that the issues that caused all this to happen will be cleared up soon and they can reopen next year.  I don't know that that'll happen, but I can hope.

But anyway, that leaves me with two holes in the open-mic schedule...

I'm still working on finding another venue for the November 15 show.  I would like to have a show on that same date, however it may not be in the Summit County area.  I've got several possibilities in mind.

October 18 is off the table.  It is too close to effectively promote a show.  October 25, however, is still four weeks away.

There will be a Saturday Night With The Poet's Haven open-mic at the Angel Falls Coffee Company, 792 West Market Street in Akron, OH on October 25 at 8:00 PM.  This will be an event.

Yes, I realize that this means there will be Poet's Haven open-mic event two weeks in a row!  Yes, I realize that this will start me on a path to crash and burn.  Ya know what?  After the December 6 show, we're done for the year.  The next date I'm working on booking isn't until late January.  I can get my head back on straight over the holidays.  Then again, maybe not.  LOL

Also, today's events put me behind on completing the next podcast.  It'll go online as soon as I have it completed, but it most likely will not be up on Saturday.  I'll try to get it as close to finished tomorrow as possible, but after my day job (which I have to be up for in less than five hours), I don't know how strong my brain will be working.  I already had things scheduled to do all day Saturday and Sunday morning and afternoon, so I may not be able to complete the podcast until Sunday night.

More will come as I can get things finalized.  Stay tuned...
