Slog - Comments on The Second-Annual Stranger Gong Show http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/04/the_secondannual_stranger_gong_show ...went down in a packed and sweaty Chop Suey this past Saturday night, and it was a 90-minute tornado of talent, packed with filthy sign language, peppy Poppins, and judge wigs made out of tampons. There was also the exposure of an actual butthole. For the closest thing to being there, look for Stranger videographer Kelly O's Gong Show Video, premiering tomorrow right here on Slog. (And for an artistic rundown of the show—including an interview with the first-place winning comedian Soloman Georgio—see Brendan Kiley's next Theater News column, landing Wednesday.) For thanks to all who came and screamed...

I was at a great Grand Opening Party in Georgetown for a fun beer, cider, and wine bottle shop along Airport Way South ... and found two great new hard ciders I'd never tried yet.

No? Have anything to add from the audience? Then why are you talking here?

If the cops, the nazi liquor control board,and Mayor McCheese hear about this, heads will fly!!!

Since Comeback posters featuring buttocks get their panties in a twist, this should sent them over the edge and liable to burning Chop Suey to the ground...

There was one great "who are you, Will in Seattle?" line flung at a boring white dude. The judges were a riot--the best part of the show.

Crowd favorite, in fact. You've never done anything interesting in your entire life.

I am just as surprised as #9.

Not sure why, but still pics somehow are better than vids.
