Sort of a Poll

I am scheduled to host open mic tonight starting at 7 .... BUT the Tigers are 3 up on the Yankees and I have a feeling no one is going to want to listen to music tonight when game 4 starts at 8.

I'll call the owner later and get his take on it.

Your thoughts? Granted you're all musicians, but it is the playoffs ...

Re: Sort of a Poll

If the venue is a sports bar, I would confirm with the owner/manager. If it's a bar that happens to have a TV, I would start on time. The management should be cognizant of the patrons' desires and should advise you accordingly. You can always stop or cut down as the game gets going, but I certainly wouldn't willingly sacrifice a paying gig over it.


Then again, it's baseball. Televised golf may be slightly more boring, but it's close.

Re: Sort of a Poll

Oddly enough, no one showed up, even to watch the game. I had pictured a crowd of baseball fans asking us to turn down the music.

Re: Sort of a Poll

The simplest solution ended up being a VERY enjoyable open mic last night. I didn't even turn on the PA. We sat around a table and played unplugged, which pleased the baseball fans. I stayed an extra hour. Compliments all around on the evening.
