Man Day 2010 – August 14th

sadie — Thu, 22 Jul 2010 20:30:56 +0000

On Saturday, August 14th, Ink & Dagger is having its second annual Man Day: a day to celebrate all things macho with a barrage of tattoos, stiff drinks, friendly competition, and good times.
I’m gonna be at the Twian’s portion of the event, along with my pals the Hobosexuals (an Uncle Daddy & The Kissin’ Cousins side project), some of my Blast-Off Burlesque compadres and a few other special guest burlesk-a-teers. There will be some nearly-guerrilla burlesque, and I’ll be up in the air. I may even do some fire outside. We’ll see…

As part of Flight of Swallows, I did an aerial net piece while five fantastic musicians created a unique version of Brazil. It’s Michelle Griffin’s lovely voice, Deisha Oliver on cello, Dickie Van Dyke on accordion, Terry Boling on the saw and Nathan Brown on the drums.

I also did a lyra act in tribute to Donnie Darko.

A Burlesque & Vaudeville Odyssey Inspired By Science Fiction

Blast-Off Burlesque presents The Future of TomorrowJune 17 and 19, 2010 at 7 Stages. Part of Blast-Off’s periodic SciFi-A-GoGo series, this neo-burlesque variety show returns Blast-Off to its science fiction-inspired roots.

The Future of Tomorrow features the premieres of several new ensemble and solo acts that will challenge preconceived notions of burlesque: beyond striptease, there will be drag and double-drag, acrobatics accompanied by live music, dance performance integrated with video, and much more. Some of the acts will be tributes to well-known stories, TV shows or movies; some will be Blast-Off’s unique take on what makes for sci-fi. Guest performances will be from Renea’ Le’Roux (a competitor for Miss Exotic World 2010), Katherine Lashe, Ursula Undress, Flight of Swallows, Hoopsy Daisy, and Reget St. Charles.

The feature shows on Saturday, June 19th are at 7:30 and 10PM. Admission is $15 in advance, $17 day of show. The preview show is at 9PM on Thursday, June 17; tickets are $10 advance and $12 at the door. Doors open approximately an hour prior to the show start time, and each show includes a 10-minute intermission. Advance will-call tickets and additional details are available online at scifi-a-gogo.com.

7 Stages is located at 1055 Euclid Avenue in Atlanta’s Little 5 Points. For more directions or more information, visit 7stages.org.
