Agathe was looking for things to do in Toronto, and since i left university, i haven't been in the Open Mic Scene for a while. After leaving this place, I had in me the desire to want to do open mic again and I might want to do at this place. Hosted at the Global Backpacker's Village at 460 King St, this place advertises a global audience being a backpacker's hostel. The bar is actually one tiny corner as you will see not so well in my photos from my iPhone.
This is the host, he started off with two songs..i think his name is John
This was guy no.2 - forgot his name...he has a myspace page :)
This is the bar's sign that they are located on 460 King St
That night, as long as I was at the bar, this was the 2nd best guy on stage, his name was Julio! :) He started off "Hola, my name is Julio and i'm from Mexico" i clapped the most for this guy, and the viewers raised their hands with him. He was interesting, he walked up on to the stage, and you were thinking to yourself "this guy is gonna grab his guitar" BUT.....he pulls out a thumbsize mp3 player and plugs it into the system, and then the music begins, and he starts singing. I like this guy, props! Oh, and he has a myspace page too, but i forgot...
The Spectators from the Hostel and from around the area...
This guy stole the show, i think his name is Ian (i might be wrong but he's going to tour in Germany). If you were there from the time it started and after you've seen this guy play, you know you've seen the best of them all and you think to yourself, its time to go home. That's what I did, at 10:30, Agathe and I left. Bye bye...Some awesome finger guitar display from this guy, you'd be amazed too. Too bad i didn't have a video app on my iPhone!!! I'll get one soon guys, just for the faithful readers that read my blog.
The bar, $5 for a pint of Steam Whistle. I had one.
And yeah, what's a night out or a bar without a disco ball, you gotta have one! Goodnight. Took a street car home, 504 :) Love Toronto Street Cars
