Last Thursday, Texas Spirits hosted an Open Mic Night at The Rooftop on Guadalupe. UT students and other local Austinites performed at the event which benefited Texas Spirits' main philanthropy, the Make-A-Wish Foundation. The event featured seven acts including the following:
Brandon Greenspan - Stand Up Comedy Act
Matt Hochman & Saumya from Ransom Notes
Tye
A late entry who played a harmonica set
Brooke Leal (a Texas Spirit Active) and Cameron
Ire Straits
StumbleDrunk
Each performed for about 15 minutes and donations were collected based off of the amount of drinks sold. The event raised a total of $217 for The Make-A-Wish Foundation, which will be combined with all of the other fundraising events' proceeds that have taken place throughout the semester.
A big thank you goes out to Nancy Tan for planning the event and ensuring everything ran smoothly, as well as to Rachel Hengst and Lauren Eason for getting in contact with the Rooftop, Brooke Leal for helping with event details, and finally to the members of StumbleDrunk and Ire Straits for helping set up.
