BONUS RUCKUS: The return of the HOLY HOT SAUCE SONNET CHALLENGE – A classic, original Dirty Gerund Game! Local emporium master, musician and man about town J STUART ETSY is re-igniting his gonzo condiment business through crowd sourcing and dang it, we’re psyched and gonna support this man’s efforts! Check out his KICKSTARTER PROJECT and support original, local, expectation crushing, cosmically culinary enhancing condiment-making in our soon to be not as bland city! Here’s the deal. We’ll bring the Shakespeare Sonnets. Your job, down a heavy shot of Stu’s “King’s Men” Hot Sauce (starring Habanero) and spit those stanzas like your mouth’s on fire, oh wait, it is! Keep your cool the best and win prizes!We’ll see if we can tone it down and get Stu to work with us on snack time as well!

And if that wasn’t enough! RAINY MAPLE SUGAR CANDY is our guest visual (and sensory) artist, she’s rocking the corner this Monday, crocheting winter hats just in time for the months ahead! BASTARDS HOUSE BAND may need a kickstarter soon to buy themselves some new equipment (they keep getting all crazy punk rock at show’s end!) NICHOLAS EARL DAVIS is literally bursting over the quantity and quality of our open mics lately! New readers, songsters, yucksters and mirth makers have made 2015 worth the trouble so far! At least YOSH & MIKEY think so! We don’t know everything you like, but goddamn it, we’re gonna keep throwing things at you this year and seeing what sticks!
