The Special Olympics of Entertainment! The Green Tortoise showcase has some of the best acts that will work for a single beer. The show is outrageus and contageus. But wait! There is more! The Open Mike part of the show comes after the Showcase. If you ever wanted to be a real live Seattle Rock star (like Kurt Cobain but without the shotgun) this is the show for you. You can only perform at the Green Tortoise Open Mike if you are staying at the hostel! The Green Tortoise open mike has discovered many of the top acts in the Seattle Area and exploited them for all they are worth. We would like to do the same for you. If you win the open mike part of the show (the most prestigous prize in hosteling) you get a free (you pay nothing) night at the fabulous Green Tortoise Hostel. You pay nothing! We give you a dorm bed (occupany 1) bed to call your own and we give you full access to the deck, common area, smoking room and we even throw in the kitchen.
