Lots of students I know (mostly from FYS) have been going, performing, and saying cool things about the event, but for various reasons I&#8217;d been unable to attend.  I finally went tonight (not that I had time, but that&#8217;s another story) and it was really quite a lot of fun.  John did his wondrous Tom Waits-Captain Beefheart singing, Grace was again splendid, Eagan was every bit as good live as I&#8217;d been led to believe, and Huck sang a crazy fun song about the advantages of an arachnid girlfriend.  And that was my undoing.<\/p>\n<p>I hadn&#8217;t really intended to perform (although I confess to having thought about it), but once Huck sang about wanting a spider for a girlfriend, I just had to sing <a href=\"http:\/\/csci.mrs.umn.edu\/UMMCSciWiki\/bin\/view\/Mcphee\/HeyHeyFatFly\">the fly song<\/a>.  I was a lot of fun, though, and the audience was very appreciative, which was definitely cool.  I&#8217;m looking forward to telling SubEvilBoy tomorrow morning what a hit our song was :-).  I also sang &#8220;Get along little doggies&#8221; (had to get an old song in there), and it was politely received, but clearly not as popular as &#8220;Hey hey fat fly&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>In further support of the claim that no good deed goes unpunished, I&#8217;ve been asked to MC the next event (24 Feb).  Not 100% sure I&#8217;ll be able to do it, nor do I know how much performing I&#8217;ll do while I&#8217;m up there, but it was nice to be asked and I&#8217;ll certainly try to make it fit in the schedule.<\/p>\nNo tag for this post.\n\t<h4>Related posts<\/h4>\n\t<ul class=\"st-related-posts\">\n\t<li>No related posts.<\/li>\n\t<\/ul>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CAC Concerts has been hosting a series of open mic nights this year (a first at UMM in my memory).
