I really don't think my music is good enough to play a full set, but maybe a song or two.

What im thinking now, is that we'll have a set list, with bigger people (reputation wise), and they'll get like 30 minutes, depending on how many people are playing, then we'll through some open micers between sets.

So is this strictly an open mic?

I know people like open mic as part of chip, but I definitely think you should have time for people to play full sets.  A lot of out-of-town people might not drive a long way to just get to play for five-ten minutes, and there are lots of artists in the midwest that I'd like to hear play for more than ten minutes.

Im glad people are actually interested in playing and coming down to hang out.

Awsome

I'm from chicago, and id be willing to come down and play!

I could def do visuals and id be down to play also just let me know

Edit: Dunno if I'd do a 1xLSDJ set tho ( much rather do LGPT/Other instruments I have)

The acoustic is great there.

I don't think anybody's saying that. Depending on the system you're looking at for the venue however, the arrangement may be a hectic for the sound guy.

Would you guys rather have a musty, humid, mold-ish bar or a nice out door area?

Yea, maybe we can can a vj, i think babyf4ce does visuals.

It doesn't matter, as long as the public address is adequate; it's just unusual to me.

Epic visual display suggested but may not be possible.

Why would that matter?

Just from my experiences, I think it's more like 6 hours.

That looks like a big venue for an open mic- No objections if it works, though.
