no dice

let’s see…Culturebot has been all caught up in the holiday hubbub and some personal life transition stuff that has resulted in a serious lack of posts.  We saw Yellow Face at The Public and quite enjoyed it, thank you very much. Hm. What else? Oh

Tom Swirly’s Psych-o-delic Circus

Sometimes an event comes along that seems so cool and out-there that I don’t want to post it because it’ll sell out and I won’t get in. This is one of them. Tom Swirly’s Psych-o-delic Circus a strange avant-garde musical/talk show with variety acts, weirdness

December at P.S.122

Hey Kids – So as you may be able to tell, Culturebot is playing a little bit of catch-up here. He has been surprisingly busy, given recent events, and has neglected the site. I’m just going through the inbox trying to post as much as
