“Rap’n’dipity was a complete success. 136 paid audience and we let people in free during the last band. Forgot 2 of the stands, but that was quickly remedied. Audience was respectful, staff filled in for Mike (who took his wife to dinner and then came back to help us clean up) . Have to warn […]
Last Serendipity Café of the year, at the Lutherans. A surprisingly large attendance (115) and staff-aided-by-alumni made this a fun Serendipity. “Big Time Woman” (open mic) with Beryl on drums and Matt Arons(sp) on lead guitar. We did extra verses. Finished on time (ish) with plenty of staff for the last mile. Thanks!
Another record attendance, great bands, fun open mic, and a whole bazaar of artists, photographers, Zine producers joined the usual band merch sellers. This caused some discussion at the critique meeting about the extra conversations generated by the artists as a second focus of attention, away from the musicians. However we did manage to put […]
“The Carendipity” fund raiser for SOFIA in cooperation with the NOW club was a great success, we all took pledges, donated money, wore wristbands and helped out a good cause.
Great attendance, great new music, a huge Open Mic, and serveral comments on the quality (good) of our sound expertise made this a successful Serendipity Event.
- This was the Big Rapendipity, with all rap music at the Lutheran Church on Park St.. We SOLD OUT before 9 pm. We felt that this was much more of a party audience than we had planned for, but I think we now know a lot more about setting up and running this kind […]
– With six bands plus open mic, this event was quite lengthy. However the crew at the end was sufficiently numerous that we made light work of it, even with Michael’s bad back. We were sad but proud to host the final performance of “No Noise”, but we hope there may be others. Attendance was […]
A persistent drizzle attempted to stop us from doing the Festival but we were even more persistent. Great work by all the staff, bands, founders, audience members. Too wet for sidewalk chalk and bubble blowing, but we sang RESPECT, gave out our staff award , and got our blackboard erased. And the following day was […]
Fine warm weather contributed to the excellent turnout for Serendipity Café at the Amphitheater last Friday. We’re guessing there were over 50 in the audience, and a good size staff turnout as well. Music was great, included Tula Vera and Your Mystery Guest. We also put Open Mic at the end, which we will discuss […]
Another lovely evening at the amphitheater. We raised about $80 for the victims of the fire on Claremont Ave, and the Montclair Student Café project will match that. So a check will be written as soon as Greg gets us contact information. The music was fine, quite hip-hoppish, and we liked how easy the loading […]
