Tonight is the bi-monthly Salon of Shame reading at the Jewel Box Theatre in the Rendezvous, where writers are invited to come and purge their terrible essays, journal entries, poetry, and teenage musings in front of an appreciative audience. Only $1 dollar if you plan on embarrassing yourself, and only $5 dollars to point and laugh. The readings are hilarious, the audience is grand, and good times are had by all.

Plus, our MC of Shame, Ariel Stallings, has been bragging about one-upping my terrible teenage romance novel of May with “Tips for giving a nice blow job.” (“Try this: imitate your mouth to almost be like a vagina.”). Her father’s rumored to be in the audience tonight. Lordy, what fun!

Here’s a complete list of readers. Show up and give `em hell tonight at 7:30 at the Rendezvous.
