Last Tuesday's SpeakEasily was outtasight! Project:Pimento is a band as smooth as James Bond and they really got everyone dancing. Plus, how often do you ever get to see the StarTrek theme played live? I want to thank Robby, Theremin master, for being such a great band-contact. AND The Indra's high body count Apache dance claimed 6 lives...including Daniel and Desmond, innocent bystanders. Luckily we didn't kill SpeakEasily newcomer Josie Nutter. We definitely want her to come back. BTW, Rose Pistola has found her new calling as a cop. She's the sheriff.
This coming Sunday is Spectacular Spectacular! A vaudvillian musical freakshow of sorts set in the South Pacific, starring all your favorite characters: Prince Kong, The World's Tallest Midget, lots of natives, and me and Billy the Sailor (of SpeakEasily Meter Dancer fame) as go-go dancing sailors. Of course. I'm happy KingFish has welcomed me to this eccentric crowd.
And as if all this wasn't enough, there is A very special SpeakEasily event in part with SomArts Cultural Center and ARTworkSF -- The 2nd Annual CAFÉ SHOW CLOSING Reception
Friday August 20. Odessa Lil is the Mistress of Ceremonies on this one. Getta load of this line-up: Bombshell Betty, Kitten on the Keys, Mr Mystic, The Flying Fox, Chris Karney, The Indra, The Kellita of Hot Pink Feathers, Comfy Chair, Harlem Shake, Poontang Wranglers, Ms Cherry Bomb (fire performer), and Rosin Coven.
AND of course, this Tuesday...SpeakEasily does it all again:
It's a SpeakEasily SuperShow, folks! I know, last week we had a theremin that shot lasers and then The Indra killed most of our audience...how could we ever outdo that? But check this out, Mister! You'll cast a kitten! And how!
