So that was me as "Guest" earlier; I guess I wasn't logged in when I groused. Don't mean to hide behind anonymity. The Press Room often doesn't treat its regular singers, who come there almost ever week for Friday sessions and once a month for shanty sessions, as if they cared for us. When it's good, it's great, and the individual wait staff treat us really well. But often it's too noisy to hear anyone and the bands warm up upstairs too early, cutting into our regular time.

Here's a link to that wonderful thread about the Dec. Shanty Session@the PressRoom that looked like such a good one. People are busier this year with other shows and places to sing.

I'll head over soon, in a good mood, and looking forward to singing later.
