Mulligan Stu’s Do-Over Revue
A night of poetic whoopsies, epistolary flubs and other creative bloopers.

Mulligan Stu’s Do-Over Revue is a new monthly variety show a bunch of us are working on that invites courageous individuals on stage to share their most cringe-worthy artistic output in front of their sure-to-be-entertained peers. Teenage poetry, embarrassing diary confessions, Keith Sweat-heavy mix tapes, unsent love letters, pop star-inspired collage and other bad creations. Call it a celebration of misguided creativity or simply an exorcism of bad art. Whatever you do, don’t call it good. Because it’s not, and that’s the point.

Our house band is Seasonal Concepts and the song above is a rough cut of their MSDOR theme song.

Yeah, this is gonna kick ass.

@ The Nomad World Pub (map) tonight at 7PM // $3 Cover // Beer specials // Hilarity // Join the FB group // RSVP for the event (not reacquired!)

Photo of the Day: Syracuse University drama major Chris Pesto fights flame with flame:

I decided that because this woman thought it was okay to make me feel uncomfortable in my home, I would retaliate and make her feel just as uncomfortable, if not more. […]

As I drew interest to what was going on with myself and the woman with the hateful sign, I started to draw a crowd that stood with me in support. Before I knew it I had 100+ people holding signs for gay rights asking people to honk their horns to support. I was interviewed by a news station, and more than 5 student organization papers, and the post standard of syracuse.

I never expected anybody to come stand by me and support and I appreciate it so much that everyone came! It meant so much and it proved to those ignorant people that we aren’t afraid, and we will put up a fight.

Dear Soviettes,

Come back, I miss you.

Love,

James

P.S. Awesome Snakes, That’s Incredible! and The Gateway District are great, but I miss my favorite MPLS punk band.

However you might feel about this ad’s message, there’s no denying the striking loveliness of its artwork.
