What happens when you are physically undead from too many gigs/witless side-hustles and want to kick everyone in the kneecaps? You put on bear-cat ears, drink a stimulant, and show up at the after-party! A whale of a time! (Happy birthday to Renard Boussiere and Gloria Turrini.) Heard tunes from tons of excellent local singer-songwriters after kicking things off with Katie Sikora talking about “The Sexism Project” (journalistic exhibition she’s spearheading which runs Nov. 2, 3, and 5 at Prez Hall.) Many of the recorded tunes we “spun” last night are from the artists playing the event. (Also, past MM&BRH guest Dominique LeJeune aka DJ Dominomnom is DJing the opening night. Woo!)
