You must be warned polite language and political correctness are often abandoned. It will be open mike night. Often referred to as quantity not quality night, but if you have always wanted to perform, start working on that 3-4 minute comedy routine. This could be your big chance to be on stage. There will also be a prize for the best library / medical joke. Contact: Jan Gallagher, Overlake Hospital Library, 425/688-5137, or overb@halcyon.com
