Tiny gallery, very intimate, with wonderful, funny, touching, personal stories read by the authors. This was a great evening much enhanced by the talented DJ. My wife has told all her writing group friends.

Tinny little theater, full of people, no A/C... Out of 5 comedians, 2 were pretty good... others used a lot of profanity to compensate for their lack of... being funny. Free wine and drinks... so that part was cool, i guess. Cheaper than the Laugh Factory... so, i guess overall it was a "different" way to spend an evening... an alternative to the movie theater.

Dress
- Stuffy and hot inside during the performance
- Wear whatever you want.
- Very casual, you'll probably be better dressed than the performers.
Parking And Transportation

- Parking sucked, street parking in not a great area. Leave the BMW at home.
Food And Drinks
- Get some unique ice cream at Scoops around the corner.

- Check out Scoops next door for fantastic ice cream
Other
- Limited seating, so arrive early if you're not into hanging from the rafters.
