I have just returned from a very pleasant evening of Firefly-themed burlesque, at which I consumed a satisfying quantity of beers and made friends with a tiny dinosaur formerly concealed somewhere on the person of Wash (played by my friend Nasty Canasta). The highlight of the evening for me was when Mary Cyn as Kaylee literally made sparks fly. Stella Chuu was also delightful as Jayne (complete with enormous gun), and Burke of course was the perfect host for this show.

On the right is Nasty Canasta, who went to the same high school that I did, except then she was not usually dressed as a sassy unicorn.

Last week was the final show of Original Cyn Burlesque. This is one of the craziest shows around and I am going to miss it so much. Mary Cyn and Joe the Shark always manage to put on a great show and they are both going to keep doing it. Just can’t help but being sad about my favorite Monday night show…. Here are a few polaroids from the very last Original Cyn.

If you know me at all, then you know that the Epic Win creeps are some of my favorite creeps in the world. Come see them get naked again on Friday. (Or Saturday if you must, but all the really cool people are going Friday. It’s just something I heard.)

This is why it’s advisable to go to Original Cyn on Mondays: there is whiskey, there are naked ladies, there are ridiculously attractive friends, and you might win a flogger made out of recycled bicycle tires. It just sets the tone for the whole week.

Let’s talk about Epic Win Burlesque for just a moment, shall we? Here are four facts you may not know about NYC’s nerdiest burlesque troop:

Epic Win is hosted by two people: magician and all around fancy guy Nelson Lugo, and the one and only Schaffer the Darklord, with whose rapping prowess you are no doubt already familiar.
Nerdapalooza 2011, the awkwardly-named music festival for which I am leaving tomorrow morning and at which I already know I will see many of you, is in fact being hosted by Epic Win, and there will be a burlesque show on Saturday night after The Protomen.
Last fall’s wildly popular Star Trek vs Star Wars show has been accepted to FringeNYC, the enormous local theatre festival that starts very soon. New Yorkers will have five chances to see the show along with dozens upon dozens of other awesome productions, and I strongly recommend that you do so.
I will be working on the Epic Win Fringe shows. Not in a boob-showing capacity, but in a getting-lots-of-shit-done sort of way that means you will probably get to see me and say hi if you come to one of our Fringe performances.

If you are not yet convinced of the dire importance of attending either the Nerdapalooza performance or one (or all) of the FringeNYC performances, perhaps more videos will sway you. Either way, I hope to see you there!
