Hi Everyone,

Are you interested in seeing this performance? If so, please purchase your ticket ahead of time through the following link or please give them a call and do so. Tickets are only $12 each!

NachtKabarett at Gorilla Tango

I thought it would be a good idea to see this with a group AND to make this a meetup at my place beforehand just so we can mingle, get to know one another a bit, then walk to the theater together since it's so close. We should all meet at my place at around 8:30pm, then walk over to the theater at 9:30pm. The performance begins at 10:00pm.

This is the 2nd time that I'll be hosting a meetup before going to Gorilla Tango Theater. We had a great time the first time around! All of the shows that I've seen at GTT have been great! I'm sure this performance will be a fun time as well!

This is from GTT's website describing the performance:

NachtKabarett
From the wicked minds that brought you Sin and Tonic and Annoyance, comes NachtKabarett, a Cabaret/Burlesque extravaganza. Join this sexy ensemble of performers as they bring you down to their world of debauchery, depravation,satirical comedy and sexy dances. As the NachtKabarett performers try to hide from the looming espectre of Nazism, you will experience with them their dark, sweaty and funny acts of depraved comedy. With original songs and dances. Directed by Michael Natoli

Produced by Michael Natoli.
Show Rating - R

Since we will be meeting at a private residence, I will only give out the address by Thursday, July 17 only to those that have RSVP'd "Yes" AND who have purchased a theater ticket.

Thank you and I hope to see you on Friday, July 18!

Hey, everyone!
I've posted this event before, and everyone's had a blast. This time, extra treat- I'm playing in the show!

That's right. It's The Sickest F*cking Stories I Ever Heard, and the producer, a friend of mine, has hooked us up with some nice discounts. Details below.

SFS is a terrifically dirty piece of theatre. It is not for the faint of heart or the easily offended. Consider yourself warned.

It's a poker game, peopled with some of the most interesting characters you'll ever meet, simply playing cards and sharing dirty personal stories. They can be gross, heart-breaking, mind-blowing, and bizarre. I've seen this show a couple times, and it is an absolute blast.

And on July 5th:
I'll be in the show, sharing all my dirtiest stories. Most involve sex, liquor, vomiting, or some kind of law-breaking. Come and check it out!
And I'd be remiss if I didn't let you know that Happy The Human Pincushion will also be playing. The man sticks needles through himself. I mean... come on. I'd post a photo, but it's kinda gross. And by gross, I mean AWESOME.

Hope you can join us for some twisted theatre, and come hang out with the cast afterwards, up the street at Town Hall Pub.

Sickest F*cking Stories I Ever Heard

Show starts just after midnight, but it's best to get there early. Buy your tickets in advance to reserve seats- you can use the discount CHEAPSKATE through the website, and get your ticket for $7 ($8.17, counting the service fee). Use the same code at the box office, and your ticket is just $8, but you're not guaranteed a seat.

I'll try to save us some seats in the first couple rows. See you there!

At the request of one of our members, Jaeda, I'm changing the location of this meeting so we can have drinks, socialize, and benefit a good cause at the same time.

"Yours Truly, Ms. Jaeda Raines, will be guest bartending at the Wabash Tap to raise money towards The Sankofa Center for African Dance and Culture Charitable Organization. The event will be held at Wabash Tap on June 18th, 2008 from 7pm - 10pm. There is NO COVER CHARGE for this event. (A portion of drinks sold goes to the charity so it's PAINLESS!) Come to Network, Socialize, Enjoy Great Food and Drinks, and Have a Great Time Supporting a Wonderful Cause. "

The Sankofa Center for African Dance and Culture is a 501(c)3 non profit organization combining traditional African dance and music as a tool for HIV/AIDS education and community outreach. The Sankofa Center uses the dance and music of Africa's past to foster health and understanding of HIV/AIDS in the current generation in hopes of preventing the destruction of their future. The Sankofa Center's programming is two-fold: touring dance-dramas are aimed at educating margainalized villagers with little access to resources and information; and, after-school programs that target youth between the ages of 13-19+.

Let's have a happy hour (or two, or three!) to meet and get to know as many old and new members as possible! Houlihan's is right in the loop, at Wacker and Michigan. near public transportation. They have great drinks and yummy appetizers (especially their 'shrooms, YUM!), and a great dinner menu if anyone wants to stay. I'll be there at 6:00; feel free to come any time after that, within reason.

I'll send out my cell number closer to the date for those who RSVP yes. Hope you can make it.

BTW, I'm asking for a $1 "donation" to help me pay the monthly Meetup fee; strictly optional but greatly appreciated.
