Wowie wow wow! Last night's sold-out "Worst. Sex. Ever. IV." was... well, I'd say orgasmic, but maybe that's not the best choice of words given the topic. Still, hearing funny stories about bad sex is always so much more fun than HAVING bad sex, and a good time was had by all. And it was packed! Lookit this fine crowd!
We started things off with Heather Ann Snodgrass and her hot shoes, who prefaced her story of a mythical lost condom with some hilarious emails she received from nervous former booty calls who were worried that they might be the subject of her performance. Stroll waxed nostalgic for a 20-year-old homeboy with a lazy eye and a penchant for Maya Darren; I disclosed WAY too much info with a PowerPoint presentation dissecting all the bad sex I had in 2006; and Jon W. Collins explained why all true patriots should support the troops, eat a pot roast, and fuck a sailor. Becky Ciletti then made us all remember how, when you're 22, "How about a blow job?" sounds just like "I love you" and Joe Jervisended the night with a collection of bad online come-ons and a tale of Daddy roleplaying gone terrifyingly wrong. We also had some fun prizes, like a riding crop and a curiously feathered vibrator, courtesy of Mark.
The online afterbirth thus far:
* I didn't manage to get very good pics of everyone, unfortunately, but I did get a few and they're available at the WYSIWYG pool on Flickr here -- if you took any, we'd love it if you added them to the group!
* Stroll has blogged about last night and posted his story here.
* Joe Jervis will be posting his story soon, but in the meantime you should see some of the bad sex stories his readers have sent in here.
Lots of other bloggers were, as always, in attendance (I was all a-tizzy but I do remember spotting Crash, Mike, and Curly) so there may be other reviews and rundowns to come. If you post about the show, I'll try to track it down but it would be great if you could email me or comment here so I can link 'er up right away.
HUUUUUGE bulging thanks to all of the performers, everyone who came to the show, and our good friends at Bowery Poetry Club for making last night so deliciously dirty and fun!
