Featuring:
Bennifer (a.k.a. Ben from the Isotoners) will make you feel tingly in your special place with stories and songs about dirty gay sex, masturbation, and food service. Equipped with a piano, a microphone, and minimal talent, he will reveal scandalous secrets, never before told due to an overwhelming lack of interest on the part of other people. You're asking yourself "Is Bennifer a drag queen?" The
answer is "Only on the inside." But please don't tell his dad.

Tomorrow night, Jonny Goldstein is back at the Knitting Factory, along with the lovely and talented Erzsi Pongo, to "comedically introduce The Creamsicles who will play their sweet delicious rock and roll music--The kind of music you kids love. But this time, the pressure is on. The generous folks at the Knit have informed us that if we continue to attract the beautiful audience we usually do, and more, they promise to book us in the Main room upstairs. This is THE ONE!!! People!! No matter what, DON’T MISS THIS!! It is imperative that all Freqs, Groovers, Hipsters, Rockers and Funkateers join forces with us and make history."

When: 8:30PM, Thursday, May 12
Where: The Knitting Factory Tap Room, 74 Leonard Street
Why: Because it feels so, so, good

There's tons more stuff going on with past WYSIWYG performers, but honestly, I'm far more likely to actually get it posted if you email it to me or post it on the Friendster message board.
