A new Vortex Cabaret! Woo hoo! A heavily promoted one, as evidenced by this being posted a week before the event (well, heavily promoted by my standards.) It will feature the comedy rantings of Sister Discordia, music by Forrest, puppetry by Madison, and burlesque by Theatre de Fetiche. Gonna be a good show.
The Vortex Cabaret is a series of live variety shows I produce at the Boiler Room, on 11 Grove Street, every other Wednesday. This next one is scheduled for July 15th. They are, if I may toot my own horn, some of the best shows I've seen in Asheville, or really anywhere. Doors open at 9 PM. Come early and drink often.

Yi-frickin'-ha!


This video (in better quality) will be appearing in an upcoming Pleasure Saucer episode. Speaking of episodes, the next one should be up July 15th. They should also my much more regular after that.

**UPDATE**

I should say, My brother Ben and I shot this. All the good shots were his. But I did edit it.

So, I helped organize some of the entertainment for Asheville's recent Black Ball. There were two shows I helped set up, and nice old-timey music set with Aaron Gunn and Sparrow during the day, and a performance by OddSTAR during the evening, with a special performance by Cara Oshiver, Asheville's pole-dancer extraordinaire.
I'm sorry for the picture quality- the shutter speed, she is not my friend.

I haven't made an episode in a while, because I've been busy working on projects I'm actually getting paid to do. I still have one or two of those to complete. But soon, they will be shown on URTV, and thus shown here. and then, more episodes! More wine! More, more I tells ya!

Featuring Alex Sacui.

The most astonishing thing I ever heard my mother say, immediately after she had seen that I popped the side panel off the family car by backing up next to a large rock (back when I was 16. That sucker went flying), was the phrase "Fuck a duck!"
I don't think this is what she meant, but I am reminded of that incident.

This episode was a blast to do. It features Theatre de Fetiche, one of Asheville's many burlesque troupes and one of the stars of the first Vortex Cabaret. I am looking forward to working with them again in the future.

The Next Vortex is this upcoming Wednesday, June 3rd. We are featuring stand-up comic Jack Egan, Valerie of Hellblinki Sextet, Spycey Spyce, and the belly-dance troupe Baraka Mundi. It promises to be a helluva show. Also, admission is now the somewhat more sane $5. The Vortex Cabaret: it must be seen to be believed! Come early, and drink often.
