Open mic nights are a great way to get in some free entertainment, and this one, a singer-songwriter night at one of my favorite bars, The Hotel Utah, is a great way to spend a Monday night!  Admission's free, songs are free, beer's a bit higher-priced (but you still may have enough change in the cushions of your couch to afford some brew).

Jun 22, 2009: Ruben Diaz (feature performer) @The Hotel Utah Open Mic at Hotel Utah -
THE HOTEL UTAH WEEKLY OPEN MIC with host JJ Schultz http://theutah.org The Hotel Utah open mic is the epicenter of San Francisco's singer-songwriter community. Its stage attracts performers at all stages of their careers: from seasoned veterans to first-timers. It attracts music fans who know a good thing when they see it. The musicians who come regularly don't come just to get a little "stage time" - they come because of the community that calls Monday at The Utah home - and the musicians that come in for the first time eventually start to come regularly... So come on down this monday, have a beer, bring your guitar if that's your thing, and sit back and enjoy. This week's feature performer - RUBEN DIAZ
