Sun March 4 – 7:00 pm – Omni Center Welcome spring with our great local musicians! Always fun. Always beautiful. For many Open Mic is like a sweet spiritual experience.

Weds Feb 8 – 6:00 pm – Omni January got iced out, and there was no internet to inform you. But we’re pretty sure you couldn’t have made it there anyway. Just one of those things about living with climate change. This month’s potluck is coming up soon. Next Wednesday Feb 8. It’s a new time of the month. The Exchange Advisory Corps starts the new year with a shift in the schedule. We’re hoping Wednesday will work for you. Please bring a dish to share and enjoy re-connecting with old and new friends. If it would be fun for […]
Open Mic February Sunday Feb 5 – 7:00 pm – Omni Maybe this is a covid thing. February is usually a Black History Month, or a Valentine Hearts thing. This year the idea that comes to the mind of Donna Mulhollan (that major source of cultural inspiration around here) is about death, or “crossing over”.

A new year is upon us and Jan. Open Mic has fallen on New Year’s Day again this year. Most of our Omni people are not Superbowl fans because we always have a decent turnout even with hangovers and all!!! Maybe a loose theme could be NEW BEGINNINGS…STARTING OVER…something positive in that vein? Not a requirement…just a suggestion to kick off 2023. Sunday, Jan 1st, a t 7:00. We want to give a HEADS UP theme for Feb. Open Mic. WINTERING, DEATH, CROSSING OVER. Years ago we did that theme for our annual winter concert at Mike Shirkey’s and thought no one would come but […]
