Open Mic 7pm Chgo Time: Guest Hosts Lisa Gates and Phil Gerbyshak

November 6, 2007 by Liz Leave a Comment

It’s Like Open Mic Only Different

The Mic Is On

Here’s how it works.

It’s like any rambling conversation. Don’t try to read it all. Jump in whenever you get here. Just go to the end and start talking. EVERYONE is WELCOME.
The rules are simple — be nice.

There are always first timers and new things to talk about. It’s sort of half “Cheers” part “Friends” and part video game. You don’t know how much fun it is until you try it.

Liz is Away — Time to Play

You know that they’re going to encourage:

  • misbehavior and rowdiness
  • tree climbing and jumping on the beds
  • eating Klondike Bars instead of healthy food — Oh wait, we do that anyway . . .
  • and flamenco dancing with a code-writing donkey and a drunken moose.

And, whatever else comes up, including THE EVER POPULAR, Basil the code-writing donkey . . . and flamenco dancing (because we always get off topic, anyway.)

Oh, and bring links about misbehaving to share!

–ME “Liz” Strauss

    relationsheep are allergic to wool. We prefer poly-cotton blends.

    We love to share our sheepish grins though 🙂

    Ben Yoskovitz created Basil. He was a code-writing donkey who traveled with Fawlty Towers.

    It was Ben’s stuffed donkey. He brought his own toy to the party.

    Where is Ben tonight anyway?

    I just went outside, don’t ask, and the sky is bright blue with sheepish pink clouds passing by. Amazing time in santa Barbara.

    In other news, Lisa just got nailed by a low flying mud pie.
