I went to an open mic night called Bean Night on Monday. It was held at the Rainbow House in IV and it usually goes on every Monday at 8:30pm till about 11pm. You have to sign up early if you want to perform because it has been getting pretty popular, but it is really fun because the performances range from musicians to poetry readings to stand-up comics. The participants are usually students from UCSB and even some graduated students. My friend Rufio plays guitar and sings and he graduated from UCSB last year. He has performed at bean night a couple of times, but this week was a little different because he met two other guys and is attempting to form a band. He met a guy named Dave how is a guitarist and Mark who plays the electric violin. I went to bean night to support them, and it was packed this week. Rufio's group did really good and the other performers also were really entertaining. That night there was mostly music performances, a lot of the singers write their own songs so they are extra personal. I took a video of Rufio's performance, you should check it out!
