Tonight was the last night of an open mic called Gracie's Cafe. The building that it was in was sold, meaning that Gracie's can no longer be there. As of now, the people who run Gracie's don't have any plans for a new location, but they do want to start it up again somewhere else, just like everyone else does. This open mic was where I sang for the first time ever, so it is a pretty special place for me. Tonight, a ton of people came out for the last night. Some of the people, like me, haven't been there in a while and came back just for tonight. Others play there regularly, like I used to. Everyone who wanted to sang a song; the whole thing lasted about 5 hours. It was a great last open mic night for Gracie's, but it was really sad. I've met lots of wonderful people there, and it was a place that I just thought would always be there. It's hard to accept change, but hopefully, they will find a new location and Gracie's will continue on as a place of acceptance for all types of musicians and performers.
