Club Loco, Old First Church’s monthly music night will continue next year. And that’s good news for Park Slope.

The whole thing has been great experience for the kids who volunteered and/or attended events. The organizers (a committed group of teenagers and adults) met for a meeting the other night to strategize how to get the word out for next year and how to make the shows even better.

In a phrase: OPEN MIC.

Next year’s music shows will be preceded by an open mic for all kinds of acts — poets, jugglers, singer/songwriters, dancers, actors. There will be a sign up and a 10 minute time limit. The rest is up to the talented kids…

There’s also going to be a Club Loco benefit in September. Look for a Club Loco table at Seventh Heaven on July 17th for information about events and getting involved.

Also at Seventh Heaven: Club Loco will present bands who’ve performed at CL, including Cool and Unusual, Banzai, Play, and Tola. It’s all in front of Old First. On the 17th. All day. So stop by.
