June's Writers With Drinks will feature Taxidermy Dancing With The Stars!Have you ever wanted to see Rabih Alameddine disembowel and stuff a goat
while doing a samba? Of course you have! That's a basic and very natural
human desire, and it's nothing to be ashamed of. Have you had thoughts about
watching Hillary Carlip or Lisa Montanarelli tango while mounting a gazelle?
It's okay, everybody has those thoughts. And now we're going to give you
what you want! The only catch is that you have to bring your own dead
animals, because goats are expensive these days. (Well, Samantha Chanse has
promised to snare some pigeons.)

| New York Nights | |
| Starts | Friday, May 19, 2006 10:00pm MDT |
| Location | 414 Mason Street, 7th Floor (Corner of Geary above Ruby Skye) |
| Description | “New
York Nights” is an uncensored stand-up comedy show featuring
working
comics from all around the Bay Area and guest comics from other places
like N.Y. & L.A. The show is intended to be a rush for the
comedians as well as the audience. Often, stand-up comedians tailor or
edit their material to be appropriate for certain venues. i.e.
“please,
clean material only” or “nothing about pre-marital
sex” Not at this
show, the comedians are free to explore wherever their talent and
imaginations take them. Topics can include everything from the art of
punani cleansing to the difficult decision a bachelor makes when
choosing between a late night cheeseburger and the attentions of a
lover. A warning; this comedy show is not for the close-minded or squeamish! The magic happens every Friday night at 10pm and reservations are recommended. It’s NY style, where people speak their minds. Badda Bing. 414 Mason Street 7th Floor (Corner of Geary above Ruby Skye) $5 B.Y.O.B 10pm showtime |
