Tsunami Coffee Shop open mic

Last night, Six String Shmee dragged me along to an open mic at a fun little Silverlake coffee house called Tsunami Cafe. Everyone there was a stand-up comic, so it was kind of awkward for Shmee to whip out his guitar and perform two songs. But he did a good job, and it was really fun to meet such a range of age groups and comedy styles. A guy named Dr. Lou is the host and he opens and closes the open mic by asking for a song title . Then, he whips out his harmonica and makes up a song and story for given title. The comics at Tsunami are actually pretty seasoned compared to other rooms I've been in, and it's definitely a very environment for testing out a secret talent before a few people before you showcase it to the world.
