I would gladly support a system that required paying a few dollars to access your website. It was profoundly helpful to me and so many dedicated comics hitting the open mic circuit each week. I hope you can figure out a way to bring it back that also serves you too. By the way, I think of you as a superstar, everyone knows your name, i always checked out your website, quotes, etc., so I do think it had it's advantages for you that you may not fully realize. Since you are sending out the last pdf's to a few of us, I'd love it as well if possible. Again, thank you for all that you have done, continue to do and I hope you'll reconsider keeping the list!

I remember when I moved to LA I had absolutely no idea where to start or where to go. I ended up stumbling into the HaHa Cafe and just went from there (for better or for worse). The open mic list is such a valuable resource for everyone in the scene. Thanks for passing it along to someone else and for sticking with it for as long as you did.

I keep the most recently updated print out with me at all times so I always know if there's an open mic nearby. Thank you for the time you put into keeping us informed. I will miss The List.

Thanks for all the deep thoughts that I already know, for posting them anonymously, and for assuming a condescending attitude about why I should continue spending my time doing something for free that benefits everybody for nothing in return. The fact that I run an open mic list means nothing to the public at large. It doesn't get me shows. That big yellow "Donate" button I had up the last month netted $5 (not complaining about that, and thanks to the person who donated! Just making a point). Probably the most tangible result I got was being introduced at shows as "This next guy runs an open mic list! You can find it online at flembuttersworth.com... Wait, is that still the address? What's the address Alan?" Can't say I'll miss that. Oh, and it got me some guy harassing me and now threatening to sue me.</span> <span style="color: #800000;">In the three years I've been doing it, nothing could have stopped someone from creating a competing open mic list.

People like you are why I’m stopping.

Personally, I don't think pulling it accomplishes anything, except maybe drastically lowering your web traffic. If you don't feel like doing it anymore, then pass it off to someone else and link us there. it still works http://www.alanlebetkin.com/wp-content/uploads/open-mic-list/Open-Mic-List.pdf and if that stops too, you could always Google it and hit cache.
