After weeks of preparation, and behind-the-scenes work, the central pillar and long wall have finally been removed to yield a much larger, unobstructed performance space. For the next couple of weeks, the SBF open mike will be held in the other room facing Chapman Ct. until the renovations are completed. This August has five Thursdays, and we remind you that the SBF open mike is now held *every* Thursday. We would also like to remind you that until a piano is once again available to us, keyboards set to an acoustic voice are welcomed. SBF Acoustic Open Mike Every Thursday from 7-10pm (sign up by 6:45pm) Mission City Coffee Roasting Company 2221 The Alameda, Santa Clara, CA 95050 (adjacent to Santa Clara Univ) tel: 408-261-2221 URL: http://www.SouthBayFolks.org/openmike.html Mission City Coffee offers a wide variety of sandwiches and other good food, excellent coffee, late hours, plenty of room to accommodate a South Bay Folks crowd, and the owner is very music-friendly. It is a pleasant space in an old building filled with character, and there are plans afoot to make Mission City a notable South Bay venue for small, acoustic concerts.
