Long Description:
On Friday June 25th, The TypewriterGirls will taking their shenanigan-filled, dada-bred poetry cabaret downtown for one very special reason: to celebrate and be terrified, in turn, by their furry nature with the visiting gent-animals coming to our fair city for Anthrocon 2010 with TypewriterGirls Gone Furry: Doors will open at 7:30, with the performance starting around 8 PM; $10 cover includes an open bar featuring the furry-inspired creations of Ladies United for the Preservation of Endangered Cocktails (LUPEC). Guests that present a valid Anthrocon badge receive $1 off at the door. First fourteen attendees will receive free animal head hats or tails!
Crystal and Margaret, well-aware of the psychic pains that could be incurred on such an epic journey of self-discovery, have once again rounded up the most appropriate crews to perform such a task:
To help each of us discover our inner beast, The Bridge City Bombshells will be performing unique feats of “Furry Burlesque,” as only Pittsburgh’s premier burlesque troupe can; Ladies United for the Preservation of Endangered Cocktails will be mixing up an array of “animal friendly” drinks, such as “When Minks Make Love,” the evening long, as part of the open bar; Mary Biddinger, Juliet Cook, and Renée Alberts, three of the regions most wildly-talented poets will be gracing the crowds with their most animalistically uninhibited recitations; Pittsburgh most beloved comedian, Gab Bonesso, and her anthropomorphic shark Phineas, a fearless wom-animal duo, will serve as our guides through these stormy waters; and, as a special treat, The Hood Gang, will be arriving in full-regalia to gift the audience with a musical performance to culminate in a cathartic release of their collective party-animal spirit.
You can, of course, expect all of the TypewriterGirls standardized chaos to tie the evening together: a furry-themed, typewriter-written Exquisite Corpse, surrealist drinking games, improv comedy, and perhaps your only chance to watch The TypewriterGirls go through the process of getting in touch with their inner animals and seek deep within themselves to answer the age old question of “What happens when your pet stuffed monkey wants to become a furry, too?”
