Mr. Nobody says: End the weekend right... On Monday night. I'm going to stick in a bunch of info about Greg below, but basically, Greg is hilarious. Also he is tender as a lamb. Two qualities you don't find in the same gay dude often. Honestly, if you haven't seen him, you won't get a bunch of other chances to check the dude out FREE. It'll probably be like $100 bucks or something, because he's so funny and tender. Somebody'll be spinning some wax, and somebody will probably be throwing some dice. Gonna be a throwdown with big Ian at the bar slinging drinks as well as peaceful wisdom. And I'll be there. Mr. Nobody. Greg Walloch has appeared on everything from The Howard Stern Show to Kurt Andersen's Studio 360 on Public Radio International. His live solo shows have toured in Moscow, Toronto, Vancouver, London, Ireland, Germany, Australia, Poland, Scotland, Tel Aviv, and across the United States. He recently opened for '60's icon Janis Ian at the Ever Widening Circle gala in Oakland, CA.

The night promises to be an evening of seasonal surprises with special guests and new classics, all of it accompanied live on the big screen by town drawer, Toxey Goodwater (Michael Arthur). It's a holiday Chalk Talk for the 21st Century, great tunes and a live drawing display that, when combined, will dazzle and amaze! Bring all yer friends!
