Z Space welcomes Rob Ready, Eric Glauser, and Bryan Alcorn of PianoFight fame to the Z Space Lobby for Mediocre Music Jam; a sing/play-a-long of shitty pop tunes. Bring an instrument and a song that's easy to play and we will jam that shit out. All skill levels are welcome for this jam. If you're really good, come by and feel great about yourself while you play circles around the house band. And if you suck, you'll fit right in. Happy Hour is 6pm – 7pm! Join us for drink specials (details TBD), and free chips and homemade salsas!
