Open Mic Curse

Is there such thing as an open mic curse? 

If not....then I created it...the last 4 open mics I went to in Los Angeles either didn't pull my name from the bucket or I performed in front of a room of 2 people, an hour and forty minutes after the open mic started.

At one open mic the idea was the booker would be there. At 12:34am (it started at 9:30pm) I hadn't been plucked from the bucket. The host said "And we're done after the guy coming to stage." It wasn't me.

I yelled out. "I can't believe I quit my job for this!" That got a laugh. 

At this point in my life...I'm just hoping God doesn't have a lotto bucket to decide heaven.
