If You Weren't There Last Night:
Once again, The Indra thoroughly dazzled the SpeakEasily patrons with her gorilla striptease (Insert “going bananas” type joke here) AND led her now-famous Mile High Body Count Apache Dance starring the 2004 Olympic Apache Team (hurray Chris, AKA Dirty Pierre). Like any good Shakespearean death scene (thanks for that analogy, Joe), there was a nice pile of bodies at the end. At this point, it’s like “who cares about the audience…we just want to get stabbed by The Indra and play dead!” The Indra always goes the extra 10 miles with her creativity! I’m such a lucky bastage (farging ice hole?) to know her!
MR. MYSTIC hypnotized a cute member of the audience to kiss him (abusing his powers?) and did a remarkably good Woody Allen-doing-a-card-trick impersonation. AND of course, Gaucho made the meter dancers tear it up on the dance floor. We like those dudes.
