The Hazy Days of....May Days....


Well Hello to you all...

April was a wonderful month, full of good friends and inspiring shows. We also had the occasional glass of whiskey and night of Mayhem - so, all things considered it was a perfectly proportioned passing of days....

Onto May!

The first Saturday of May finds us on one of our most favorite road trips... straight up the Taconic Parkway to Great Barrington, Massachusetts. This weekend we're celebrating -for the second time (because one is nice, but twice is twice!), our one year anniversary performing at the spectacular Club Helsinki. Manchego, host from the Slipper Room and clown extraordinaire, leads a night bursting with the talents of Miss Tickle, RunAround Sue, and - newly home from India!- Legs Malone. Shows are at 8pm and 10:30pm.
