Getting Bawdy with Mike Daisey

It's not every day we have the opportunity to get bawdy with Mike Daisey. And, really, what does that even mean? 

Join us Friday at Galapagos Art Space (our favorite places for art are Spaces) for BAWDY STORYTELLING. It has been an epically popular show on the West Coast for six years and they are debuting in NYC this week with Mr. Daisey and a bunch of other Tellers of Story! We get to be the musical guests in between all the perv-y, sex-laden anecdotes. We have no idea why they thought we would be appropriate musical guests for such a scandalous event but we'll manage to come up with something. 

Here is a link to all the details you ever wanted: ALL THE DETAILS EVER. Come along!
