I really enjoyed myself at the Open Mic Event! I think it is a fantastic idea for people to get together and share their stories through poetry and music. I think the interns running the event did a great job as well. One thing that I noticed was that they did not allow late comers enter mid-performance and asked that they wait till the ending of the presentation. I really enjoyed the songs that were performed; I wasn’t sure whether it was a coincidence but all the people there who performed a song they wrote, they always had some sort of climax moment where their tone would become very passionate and emotional. I think they should have used the microphone however just so the lyrics of the songs can be heard above the passionate guitar playing. I loved all their performances nevertheless.
