Finally, lastly, and sadly, this Friday, Sept. 30 is the last open mic at Tully's on Broadway in downtown Tacoma. This open mic, run by Stella Haioulani of Free Ya Mind Inc., has been a fixture in the city since 2001! That's hecka long run for an open mic. I've seen everyone from General Wojack to Tacoma Poet Laureate Antonio Edwards catch wreck at this open mic. It's also where I started doing my thing - even hosting it for two years during its 10-year run. According to Haioulani, Tully's management has decided to end the open mic. So when ya go be sure to tell them how disappointed ya are with decision to end this Tacoma institution.
