Show tonight (Wed)

UPDATE:
This venue is amazing. You almost walk right past it on a quiet street with warehouse feel. Then you enter a beautful darkened room with tables, a massive old chandelier, and a candlelit bar. The people who work there smile at you like you share a secret. But where's the show? You push a door and are suddenly enveloped in BRIGHT white light. You're in a brilliant, colorless hallway with many unmarked doors. You instinctively go straight to the door at the end: push open. You're in a square room with screens illuminating every wall. There are cushiony white benches lining every side of the room with low long tables in front of them. The food and wine is very tasty. The show feels like a great dinner party. Warm, titillating, relaxed and charged all at once. Everyone's telling stories back to back. The staff is insanely cool. Any media screens on all four walls at once, so no matter where you're sitting, you have a comfortable view.

This storytelling show is monthly. Andrea hosts. Heather and I tell stories. Other familiar faces join.

Excited.

At Monkeytown with host Andrea Rosen!
58 N. 3rd St (btwn Wyth and Kent). Williamsburg, L to Bedford.
With: Mike Albo, Heather Lawless, Chelsea Peretti, Tom Shillue.

This show has a loose storytelling theme.

The venue is new and seems cool and the menu looks yummy. Don't clank your fork during my story.

I have never eaten there, but here's what I would order off the menu posted on their site:

tilapia ceviche
over arugula with pumpkin
seeds and radish
$7

persian lamb chop loin
with harissa, mint, and
preserved lemon orzo
$16

spiced short ribs

Or possibly the squid.
