Got plans after Thanksgiving?


Eat a turkey sandwich, polish off the last of the stuffing, rent a Zipcar and drive to Asbury Park! (click to see more of the great flyer by Nasty Canasta)

And that's the BEST picture they could find of her.


These damn ads are all over the Ft. Hamilton Parkway stop. And this is what I think of every time I see it. Let me show you somethin'!

December!

The upcoming shows by Casino O'Fortune Cookie Productions:

Sadly, I'm going to be out of town for that one (well, maybe "sadly" is the wrong word, since I'll be in Miami for the Basel art fair...), but you should definitely not miss it! And I will definitely be here for this one:


Be prepared to have...the time of your life!

The year for a protest vote if there ever was one.

I'm normally against the protest vote, in our flawed two-party system I think you should cast your vote for a candidate with at least a fighting chance of winning. But tonight after work, you should go vote for Reverend Billy for Mayor. Bloomberg bought his third term ages ago, drowning us all in a sea of mailers and running against an NYC-as-usual bureacrat. So make that protest vote count! Help get Billy some more press!

Catching up

Hey! Here's the 2009 New York Burlesque Festival in some words and pictures.

And, this is very exciting, the triumphant, packed-house return of Killer Queen Burlesque in words and amazing pictures by Clint Hild.

Rock!

Oh, and look who made Dirty Doll of the month!

Why, none other than Clams Casino!

Poundsign returns

An incredibly busy summer became an incredibly busy fall, including the transition from being long-time Manhattanites to smug Brooklynites, and producing multiple shows, including the return of Killer Queen Burlesque for a triumphant night at Joe's Pub this past Friday! I've been so busy that this blog almost didn't make it back...but it survives! So, many things to catch up on, but for now, come join me in the audience tomorrow night and we can catch up in person, loyal readers. You're still out there, right? Anyway, I'll be at this show, it's going to be fucked up in the best possible way.
