Wowsers. After Friday's marathon findraiser for the SOMArts, Saturday's Nanos Operetta's Three Drops of Blood show, and the Spec Spec cast party, Sunday became the day that never was. A short nap turned into a 5-hour-long coma-thon. What are you supposed to do when you wake up and it's bedtime again? I hope "take an Ativan" is the correct answer.

WHOOOPS!
It seems as though the email list from last week's SpeakEasily was lost in the bar somehow. If anyone was on that list and wants to be added, please contact me so I can begin harassing you as planned! SpeakEasily@Gmail.

Check it out, Yo. More Photos:
Thank so much to Daniel and InterNebbish for catching those Kodak moments over at SpeakEasily.
Here are just a few that Daniel took...I promise that they'll make it onto the SpeakEasily website soon enough.

Odessa Lil and Daniel Martinez.


The Indra sews Billy back together while Rose Pistola looks on.


"Did I leave the water running?"


Rose Pistola has her shoulder examined by Doktor Odessa, while Salty makes tinfoil sculptures in order to illustrate an important point in his conversation.

Internebbish's photos: (to see them all go here.)


Captain Willy charms the ladies (and charges by the dance).


Tippy Canoe and the Paddleman!


Odessa says solong to an old friend. Note his T-shirt. You can buy one too.


Bombshell Betty seems to have found something!

This Tuesday, August 24—
The joint will be jumping this Tuesday as SpeakEasily welcomes gypsyjazz geniuses GAUCHO to our fold! This band is hot stuff! And How!Their Django-rific sound will make you fight for territory on thedance floor. We may annex France for more space.
Speaking of France, THE INDRA will be with us as well with her one-and-only SpeakEasily High Body Count Apache Dance! Yes, she'll kill Billy again and G-D knows who else.
AND as if that wasn't enough, MR. MYSTIC will astound and amaze youwith whatever it is up his sleeves!
AND, of course, THE MILE HIGH METER DANCERS, those ravishing rowdyrabble rousers, can be all yours for the duration of a song (inexchange for just a few bucks tucked discreetly in a garter or perhaps in a more creative place). They are professionals!
For crying out loud, let's get hot!
