I'm a musician and I am a regular at a few open mics around my area, I go to every one to try to get my music out there since I moved here recently and haven't gained an audience yet. Tonight, by the time my slot came around we were already running behind by ten minutes. My effects set up was causing a little feedback which usually doesn't happen, the host is the host of all three that I go to weekly and knows I'm respectful. I'm one of the only fucking people who sticks around till the end (except tonight) and watches everyone and tries to quiet down other musicians I'm friends with during the typical 9/10 performers who are dogshit, out of empathy and respect. Well I added about five minutes to the delay, had a great set regardless, I was the only performer that played to a silent room (because I channel my BPD into my music so you can guess it's intense and somewhat magnetic). I finished, apologized for delaying it, which was met with basically a unanimous "it's more than okay" from the room. Another performer played and when the host was transitioning he was super passive aggressive and said with this veiled angry tone which he's very good at "and OF COURSE we're running 15 minutes behind because of some bad *set up* so sorry about that what can you do? Some people, I swear." This motherfucker texts me every Wednesday, Thursday and Sunday to ask me to come play at his open mics and he treats me like this. So I got my shit together, had to rudely ask a friend to move so I could get to it, and just left. I'm so fucking mad, this guy is such a fake piece shit. Music has been going so well for me lately, I have been asked to play a few actual gigs coming up. I guess I just need to get more real gigs. I've always hated open mics. This wasn't even the only triggering thing tonight just like the cherry on top.
