It was not an all-ages venue, so under-21 performers would not have been welcome. Chris Estes, the host, now hosts a new open mic in Danville at Meenar's: http://www.bayareaopenmics.com/venue.php?venueRef=239&dayRef=1&regionRef=2 Unfortunately, that also is an 21-and-over venue. Your closest underage venues might be in Fremont. Either Mission Coffees: http://www.bayareaopenmics.com/venue.php?venueRef=31&dayRef=5&regionRef=2 Or the Essanay Cafe in Niles (Fremont): http://www.bayareaopenmics.com/venue.php?venueRef=122&dayRef=3&regionRef=2 Good luck!
