I'm excited to have befriended Splenduh the Unicorn during my time in Portland. First of all, I don't want to be on that bitch's bad side! Second, I'm very much looking forward to chillin' in his badass Salon on Jan. 17th. If you're depressed by an over abundance of "dark cabaret," come let this show's magickal abnormality cure your Seasonal Affective Disorder. Revolva certified guarantee: You will DIG it! (Also, I'd love it if my friends would support this project, as its put on by folks who are working hard to create a vaudeville circuit for performers, extending from San Francisco to Seattle.)


THE NEW ECCENTRICS BRING YOU A NIGHT OF ABNORMAL VAUDEVILLE AT THE "SPLENDUH SALON"
JANUARY 17, SOMEDAY LOUNGE * 125 SW 5, PORTLAND * 9 P.M. * $5-15


Tired of the same old boring "vaudeville shtick"? So is Splenduh the
Unicorn, the magickal being banned from the Oregon Country Fair Stage in
2008 for inappropriate behavior. To relieve your existential boredom, he
opens his own highly non-traditional show on Jan 17 at Portland's Someday
Lounge. This magical night will feature a delicious mix of live chopsocky
battles, puppet journeys to the fourth dimension, beautiful bare burlesque
bodies, interactive danger juggling and one lucky person (probably you!) to
be selected to be the star of the show.

Splenduh has brought along some of his dearest friends and populated the
night with a powerful lineup of eccentric west coast attractions, including
the rusty tones of SINNER'S SERENADE...

* The kung fu acrobaticalists of NANDA

* Master "Object manipulator" CHARLIE BROWN

* Acrobatics by KAZUM

* Mistress of the hoop REVOLVA

* And the burlesque artistry of BABY LE'STRANGE, ITTY BITTY BANG BANG and CHARLOTTE TREUSE

Stay after the show for a dance party featuring the band SMALL SHAPES (AKA The Planets) and a short-yet-outrageous fashion show featuring the work of designer SARAH STYLES. This show will NOT feature William Batty, producer of the recent White Album Christmas show, as he talks *too goddamn much!* Maybe he'll stop by and open his loud mouth. Let's just see.

The New Eccentrics are a loose collection of artists, thinkers and
entertainers who say theatre doesn't have to be boring. Low-priced
entertainment can be moving, exciting and wonderfully weird. This show
launches an ongoing series of shows that guarantee an experience better (and
cheaper) than a docile night at the movies. And, since everyone who walks
through the door becomes part of the show, it may just change your life.
Cancel the therapist appointments, dance more and donate your black hoodie
and skinny pants to the homeless.

Due to adult themes, it is advised that those of sensitive dispositions stay
far away. Though his disciples are many, Splenduh does not claim to be a
role model.

Admission will be decided by Splenduh's Faeries – a scant $5 if you wear
something fantastic, $15 if you dress like a schlub, $300 if you are William
Batty.
