I have many problems with this open mic:

it's all random selection. So If I show up early (which I Usually do) I could still end up the last performer after everyone has left.
They don't have open mic every Monday, there are times I've driven down there to realize they have an act booked for the Night.
On top of it being random selection, they wait to do the drawings until after a band has played so If any band decides to walk in and sign up after the playing has started, then they get thrown into the mix of all the people who got there early

My suggestions are either:

don't make it random. Allow the bands that get there early to decide when they want to go on. (cuz I don't always want to be the first act I usually like to play 3rd or 4th) that to me would be FAIR. Or…
if you're going to do it random then do all the drawings at 1 time so that people know when they're going on. then if bands come in late they get put on the end of that list.

Hopefully you will understand that It's not worth it for me to drive 20 miles if theres a chance no one will see me play

Does this open mic also include comedians or is it just musicians?

is there an age limit for performers? and is that 3 songs or 15 minutes whole show or if that the max for performers?

So, the open mic starts at 7:00… How late does it go?
