AUG 18 2026
Doors at 7pm / Show at 7:30pm
Early Bird $20 / Advance $25 / Door $30
The hot winds of the last month of summer are creating a most humid astral event within the madness of this ever tilting planet we inhabit. The oracle from the Mirillion galaxy, CLAYWOMAN, will bring you her aged pearls of wisdom and dusty volumes of experience, while welcoming a most very special guest, DYNASTY HANDBAG! Plus other special guests will be joining for the traditional reading of Claywoman's newest play.
Join them, along with their stern mute sidekick JUDITH, all at THE PARKSIDE LOUNGE, as they explore new and uncharted realms together.
Please purchase tickets in advance to assure passage to this monumental affair.
Seating is very limited!

Together, we'll learn how to give (and take) constructive critique, explore the art of collaborative storytelling, and build stronger creative bonds in our community.

10pm-4am
A site-specific dance party and NYC music history installation at the iconic Parkside Lounge. Capturing the electric, sweat-dripping momentum of the early 2000s indie explosion, this night maps the downtown scene staged in the exact square footage where legendary bands cut their teeth before hitting the world stage.

The flash is on, and the story is quite literally in the stalls. Featuring Music Made in the Lower East Side.
