Open Mic Night opened with freshman Randy Jones, elementary education major, reciting comical and more serious poetry he had written while riding on a train. The following performance was crowd favorite Gregory Pickett, board of trustees major, who serenaded us with such poems as "Nasty" in which he spouted he would "toss that salad like I was a five-star chef."
On a lighter note, Andrew Winokur, sophomore accountacy major, sported a "lovely hat," as McIntire put it, with face hidden, during the somber folk melodies that twanged from his acoustic guitar. Winokur declared after finishing his southern sounding set it was "home cooked music straight from the grill from Mama."
As the night continued, the audience started swaying to the earthy beats of a band whose name remains a mystery. Pete Triolo, sophomore community health major, accompanied friends, James Ofczarzak, sophomore business management major, and John Davis, junior psychology major.
The band featured a guitar and two bongo drums with danceable beats and an overall mellow tone. Later on, Ofczarzak and Davis contributed to Greg & Crew, which also consisted an extra guitar and freeform jams. McIntire also took the stage with his rendition of "Mortal Kombat"... on piano!
The highlight of the evening was an encore by Pickett. It was socio-political slam poem titled "Radical Revolutionary," which was so powerful it gave everyone goose bumps. Pickett said of the show, "This is history in the making."
