Sign up rules for Open Mic 7-10 & Karaoke 10-12

These rules only apply to Open Mic and Karaoke sign up. As Open Mic sign up has become more competitive we started making the sign up rules more clear so that everyone can trust a fair opportunity to sign up with a process that doesn't change every week. Follow this link to read the rules on safety and respect that apply at all times.

Open Mic

Sign up starts at 6pm on a white board at the bar

Not ok to call or send a message to sign up if you are not there in person

Ok to sign up for yourself and max 1 friend

Unless too many people start signing up friends

Max 2 songs or 5 minutes per slot

Ok to sign up and leave, just have to return in time for your performance

Host should skip anyone who is not there to perform at their time

Host should not let the person cut back in when they return

Host might let the person perform after 15 official slots are completed in correct order

All artists need a good way to estimate when they will perform based on sign up order

Karaoke:

Starting Karaoke on time as advertised

No open mic performances start after 10pm

10pm - 10:04pm staff should start playing radio and transitioning equipment from open mic to karaoke.

Nice for host to do first Karaoke performance to break the ice once it’s ready

1 song per sign up at Karaoke

Karaoke advertised 10-12 and never ends before 12, but continues to 1am if people want to keep performing
