Patrick: I actually used to host one in high school. There was a little cafe around the corner from my house, it had a little stage in the back. Drew a pretty big crowd.
David: Okay. So there was a point at which you, and some of your fellow amateur singer songwriters would gather and perform poetry and songs?
Patrick: Yeah.
David: For one another?
Patrick: Mmm-hmm. That's right.
David: Oh god.
Patrick: The occasional improve troupe would stop by.
David: I'm, um, I'm feeling kind of ill.
Patrick: David, you can laugh now, but an open mic night can be a surprising amount of fun. Worst case scenario, we get some people in the store.
David: Okay, no, worst case scenario, I watch improv.
