where I will be tonight

Last month, burlesque-artist-person Lola Ramona lost nearly everything she owned when the sprinklers went off in her building while she was out of town; when she returned, all her possessions and artwork had mildewed. So, a bunch of burlesque-type people, including my friend Molly Crabapple, planned a benefit for her. The date was set, the logo designed, the buttons printed, when a whole bunch of people in New Orleans got much, much wetter, so Lola suggested that the event also become a hurricane benefit, and so it is.

Burlesque, sideshow stunts, and fabulous prizes await. Featuring performances by Dottie Lux, Nasty Canasta, Veronica Varlow, The World Famous *Bob*, Tabitha Ray, Vulnavia Queen of Nails (she really does hammer nails up her nose) and more.
