Duh - I guess in my rush to get out the door I left out some important information. The details:
The Vail St. Cafe
19 North Vail (1 blk West of Arlington Hts Rd. & 1 blk South of Northwest Highway)
Arlington Hts., Illinois (USA)
Phone: 847-392-1164
open stage; the first Saturday of every month, starting July 1st
7:30 sign-in, music from 8:00 until 10:00.
This will be an acoustic open mic, PA and mics will be provided. Electric instruments are OK, but no stacks of Marshalls, please. Small ensembles w/Drummers are welcome, but no full kits.

The Vail St. Cafe will be having a variety of acoustic music, poetry and other entertainments on Fridays and Saturdays from 8 - 10. The coffeehouse can stay open later and the music might go longer, if things are going well. No cover. Coffee, tea and great sweets are sold. Tips are welcome.

Thanks for your kiind words, Neil. I will let you all know how things are going. Peace.
