The first week of the Fall/Winter edition of the Tilted Kilt Open Mic Competition brought with it a great time for the participants who showed to perform! 8 open mic-ers found a comfortable, friendly atmosphere to light up the stage! Audience giveaways such as new movie release t-shirts and sunglasses from the Mary Pickford theater riled up the crowd for voting time as well as Sushi certificates from Happy Sushi and Abe’s Brand. At nights end Jim Holiday brought his familiar blues-rock performance and the rowdiest fans to take home 1st place and a movie ticket package for the Mary Pickford Theatre. Jim will now compete in the finals for a shot at the grand prizes of a $500 shopping spree at Guitar Center, a 3 day trip to Las Vegas from Crater Lake Vodka and an entire weekend recording session with producer, Ronnie King at his Chateau Relaxo (valued at $10,000)! 2nd place was awarded to the talented singer/songwriter Freddy Live and singer Chris Romero who tied and took home a movie package from the Mary Pickford Theater and a Facial and Peel from EstheticX.Obsession Massage & Wax Bar, respectively. Another talented musician, James Velasquez placed 3rd and was awarded a $50 concierge credit from CV Weekly.
