Agree that showing up around 5 PM is wisest on a night that is not a hat night (as Sam Bayer mentions). Hugh McGowan is the present host -- a great musician and friendly fellow who sets the tone nicely. The scene is fun but boisterous. I wish the host would move away from the current sign up process and toward one (such as at the Lizard Lounge) that is more respectful of the time demands placed on the performers. That logistical issue is the biggest impediment to this being a very good open mike for one's more energetic material. Format is 16 minutes… a generous play slot!

As an update to the first poster: the first and third Tuesday of each month is now when names are drawn from a hat

First come, first serve, except for the first Tuesday of each month, when names are drawn from a hat. Music starts at 8 PM. No cover, no feature. I am reminded by a correspondent that there's usually quite a line when signup starts. Get there earlier.
