I hope it will be a dumpster fire so that you will have some funny stories to tell.

I've considered doing that here, though I haven't yet. I suspect that dissonant bass drone/ambient probably wouldn't go over well with the general of the southeastern U.S. country populace of this countryside bypass town...Although, admittedly, I do kind of want to do it just to see the reaction I'd get out of it. Good luck Exo! You never know what you're gonna get at those things...

I ran one for a year. I hated doing it after a few months, but I paid off my PA system.

Host duties may or may not include:
  • Make flyers with date/time/place as well as create FB event and invites
  • Show up early
  • Set up PA system
  • Set out sign up list
  • Go by order of sign ups (you get there late you go on late)
  • Be strict on the time limit (usually 10 minutes or so depending on participation)
  • Have a few jokes ready for in between performers
  • Thank each performer after their set/introduce the next one
  • Smile
  • Break down PA system
  • Collect cash

You'll get a lot of people wanting you to play favorites, add extra time, etc. Don't do it.

I may have left out things... it's been a while, but thats the way I ran it anyway. Good luck.

Today one of my co-workers actively decided to be obnoxiously cheerful all ****ing day and there was a direct relationship between her chirpiness and my own desire to stick my head in the fryer.

Why does other peoples' happiness upset you so much?

It was contrived, tedious cheerfulness with a grating tone of voice I had to hear in my ear every single time she took an order in drive-thru because I wear a headset that hears everything being said in drive-thru. If you knew the bitch you'd understand.

Sounds like phony and forced positivity which is always annoying.

Yes. That is exactly what it was to an extent that was ****ing weird.
