    Last-minute plan: Maritime Madness and astounding aerials

    Posted in Own This City by Jonathan Shannon on September 18th, 2009 at 6:06 pm

    openmicloriOpen mikes can be hit or miss. Anyone can speak and there’s no danger in giving it a go (save for a few boos), meaning you’ll probably be subjected to someone who’s better off keeping quiet. This is not a problem, however, if you attend an aerial open mike. Everyone can attempt to pull off midair stunts, but the whole hitting the floor thing tends to put off the rank amateur.

    That’s why tonight’s Maritime Madness Aerial Open Mic at the House of Yes should be a doozy. Skybox is curating the performance of 15 acts, which starts at 8:30pm and costs a mere $10. It promises aquatic delights, giving new meaning to the term skydiving (get it?).

    Hang around after the show for the 10pm Not Waving but Drowning gig with swoonworthy tales of loneliness and love set to old-timey Hawaiian swing sounds courtesy of the Moonlighters.
