Open Mic Night At BSC

I haven't played at open mic night here at BSC yet this semester. I went to see my friend sing a couple weeks ago, and sadly I missed her, however I got to see my other friend play, so that was cool. The moved it to the room next to the GLBTA room instead of having it at in the large ballroom. Now that I think about it, I think that was a good choice because last year everyone sort of had their back to the stage. It didn't really bother me when I performed, because well, you expect that when doing a little acoustic ditty at an open mic night. However, I thought it was sort of harsh for the comedians and spoken word poets because they weren't able to bounce off the audience. Therefore, I felt it was a better environment despite the fact it was a little harder to meet up with friends when in the audience.

I quite often tend to second guess myself when I do these types of things. I was original like, yeah, I'll do one of my songs and then cover "El Scorcho" by Weezer. But then I was like, I can't do that, it would be a sin to cut out of all the background vocal. So then I was like, "Well, I do a good version of Bob Dylan's 'Forever Young Continued'." But then I think, "I can't play that at an acoustic night, that's like playing 'Stairway To Heaven' at a guitar store!" Last I like, "Okay, I'll do 'Under the Milky Way' by Church." But then I think I might forget the words. The inner turmoil goes on...
