Every Wednesday is Open Mic night at Iota, where anyone can sign up and play two songs on stage from 8pm to midnight. Weeknights aren't as packed as the weekends, so its much more laid back and easy to have a conversation. Plus its a great way to see a wide variety of local artists and genres.Tonight had a very diverse mix of musicians, from a white female rapper to a flute playing experimental to acoustic guitar. Local two-guitar band Citizen also played and gave out their sample CD. Derek also rocked out solo with two of his original songs.
Weeknights are actually my favorite time in Clarendon, with a lot of different activities available such as:
- Monday - Live music at Galaxy Hut and Salsa Dancing at Clarendon Grill
- Tuesday - Texas Hold'em Poker at Clarendon Grill
- Wednesday - Free Open Mic Music at Iota and Free Open Mic Comedy at RiRa
- Thursday - Open Mic Comedy at Arlington Cinema Drafthouse
