The Perpetual Motion Roadshow - "Voodoo Fairy Tales"

Tue, Dec 13
7:30pm
free

The Perpetual Motion Roadshow is an indie press touring circuit, an
unholy combination of a vaudevillian variety show and a punk rock
tour. Each month, three new lively indie performers pile in a car and
do seven cities in eight days, doing shows with the bold guarantee:
NO BORING READINGS OR YOUR MONEY BACK! Transnational, it loops the
northeast May-October and makes runs down the west coast during
November-April. Founded by No Media Kings, we've been making our own
fun since 2003 -- running on pure volunteer power and dirty dirty
gasoline. More info at perpetualmotionroadshow.com

In December the San Francisco show will having touring writers:

Bret Fetzer's macabre fairy tales have been described as having "a
vicious

tales...firmly rooted in the dark, rich mulch of myth" (Seattle Weekly).
His collections 'Petals & Thorns' and 'Tooth & Tongue' are available
through <www.pistilbooks.com>. Fetzer's storytelling matches
his stories, "telling odd fairy tales with such intrigue that his
hour on the stage seems to vanish in an instant" (The Stranger). His
plays have been
produced by alternative theaters around the country.
