February 24th, Singing Tree Cafe, a great community hang-out in a quiet part of Siem Reap, holds the first open mic event and i am very honored to be the host for this first time. me and Eric, en event manager of Singing Tree, plan out setting, flyers, and equipment. It falls on Mardigras saturday night where a huge drinking party is at the center of town, we'll see how it goes. Michael, the owner of Singing Tree, his wife and baby, Eric and his girlfriend Seiko get all excited once the rented equipment is delivered.

After the sunset, the open mic started with two dijeredoo units by Eric and Yella.

and this is Mr. Phon, a Vietnamese traveler who sings beautiful vietnamese love songs.

I play a few songs and call for more sign ups, and for the charity that Singing Tree and I are working on. We have altogether of 10-12 sign-ups, variety of acts and nationality. This is my last week in Siem Reap but i hope this event will keep happening.
