Let's hope that tonight's snow melts and stays slushy and kind, so we can all go see Sirius B at Jack of the Wood! Sirius B supported our BlogAsheville community at the 2007 bash -- and watching live absurdist gypsy folk-punk (and drinking Green Man Ale) is way better than staying home.

From an email: a new informal community forum, Drinks and Dialogue, is trying to cross gender and color lines with a talk series (over drinks!) at Sazerac. Colors lines don't get crossed nearly often enough on Asheville, IMO. Come on out:
Drinks and Dialogue is an open conversation where people come to talk about relationships, dating, parenting and other social issues. Basically a battle of the sexes.Questions will be thrown into a hat, picked randomly, and talked about with a 10 min time frame. I'm asking those who attend to bring one question. Questions such as "Will a relationship work if 2 people have different political/religious views?" Or "What do you consider cheating?" Etc.It will be held Sat Feb 6th a Sazerac (upstairs) 69 Broadway. Entire community invited. Goal: To answer male/female questions and to have mixed, diverse crowd.

Want to do something really fun this week?
Braving both ice and sickness, the Vortex Cabaret is back again, building on the success of last week's great show. This week, we bring the sexy, with our movie selection Forbidden Zone (read the review by the Mountain Xpress' Ken Hanke here.) We also have readings from the work of noted erotica author Anais Nin, read by my good friend Meg Hen. Top that off with the always-excellent stand-up comedians of Tomato Tuesday, and another great Asheville rock band, and it promises to be a helluva night.Oh, and did I mention the all you can drink PBR for $5? Yep, all you can drink PBR for $5. You should drink some. The Vortex Cabaret. Thursday night, February 4th, 9 PM. 11 Grove Street, Asheville, above Scandals. 5$ admission, 18+. Come for the PBR, stay for the art. Or vice-versa, we don't care.Rev. Johnny Lemuria, Vortex Cabaret, Jan 2010
Support art. Support weirdness. Support Ahseville. Support the Vortex Cabaret.
