I am at this very minute at the Vail St. Cafe, Arlington Hts., IL. We're having an open mic and it has been a beautiful and eclectic night.

Right now Derek, Paul and Dan are playing guitar and bongos and reciting verse. All are in their late teens, early twenties and they are very good aat "winging it". So far we've had a drum circle, a gentleman who sang old country, a rumanian guitarist/violin duo, and a coupole of really good acoustic singer/songwriters (no navel gazing!!).

Tonight is a good night, here in Arlington Hts.
