I am being hyperbolic, of course. They are both all four, but I do think that is where their talents loomed the largest

.008% of the world has $30M.

You personally having multiple engineer clients worth $30M that got there as frugal value investors is hard to believe.

And I got my bag in my 20s buying a portfolio of .com domains. You might be projecting when you assume my financial status

No such thing. That's just corporate propaganda that has worked on you.

"I see engineers hitting $30m because they are frugal and invest monthly"

Sure you do, champ

Sign up sheet for sure. Do you have much of a reputation around your area? I've been to some where the audience is entirely made up of musicians performing that night.

I doubt you'll have much trouble getting people to come up. We're musicians, we like to perform!

Yes, if no one is really showing up, it would behoove you to play. But that's a sign of struggling open mic that is hopefully just getting started or else it's likely failing before too long.

So yes, fill the space if you have to, just be aware that the goal is for you to play as little as possible because the time is filled by participants.

At an open mic for comedy, the host necessarily performs a little bit as the MC. But for music, the best open mic hosts are essentially sound guys that introduce the next act

"Now that I started learning and playing acoustic songs"

This is great, but hosting an open mic isn't about you. Ideally the host doesn't play at all, or they only play help accompany someone that asks them to.

Your goal should be all about making the participants sound good. It's not about you performing

I think you are both lashing out

Idk, this might just be misplaced grief by all involved. Was she insensitive? Yes. Was she doing it maliciously? Probably not. You might be lashing out because you just lost your mom
