Back in June 2008, Country Joe McDonald (of 1960s band, Country Joe and the Fish, fame) began hosting a monthly open mic in North Berkeley. Riding its success, in October, Country Joe's Cafe Music Hall opened . . . only to close in January 2009 as the economic climate made staying open untenable. Happily, Country Joe has found a new venue for his monthly open mic: The Berkeley Unitarian Church on Cedar. How many open mics are hosted by a bona fide 1960s Berkeley folk hero?
