Year of writing 33 Tourette's without Regrets

2/2/12

Tonight was Tourette's Without Regrets, the show I have been DJing since somewhere around 2001. The show started in Benicia, California, at some crappy studio space, and used to bring maybe 20 people. Last night there were roughly 700 people packed inside the Oakland Metro to see, in order: 1) Dirty Haiku Bout, 2) 2 comedians (one transgendered comedian) 3) a poetry slam 4) a cross-dressing santa claus 5) a female burlesque act involving fake testicles and brains 6) a "worst ex" competition where the winner had a real pig's heart sent to their ex 7) a "worst sex" competition, where top three worst sexual encounters were reenacted by an interpretive dance troupe 8) a freestyle rap battle.

Weird to say the least. Tourette's has been the most interesting, inflammatory, offensive, sweet, annoying, exciting, incredible experience every month. I am glad to be a part of the madness.
