"My Hair Piece" by Dana Block
A woman who has just given birth to the perfect little baby discovers she now looks like a sex bomb, thanks to breast feeding, and on a hot night out with hubby, escapes in a cheesy Mexican restaurant and has a torrid romp with sex-starved Richard Gere who happens to be sitting across the bar from them. Chaos ensues.
My Hair Piece was first performed in Chicago in 1999 at the Rhinocerous Festival at Lunar Cabaret. Justin Hayford, reviewing it for the prominent arts newspaper, Chicago Reader, said:
You've got to have something to offer if you're going to wade into the crowded pool of solo performance in Chicago. Dana Block... shows she's got the writers' chops... [she] writes with efficiency and flair... she has a knack for creating images at once arresting and irreverent... Block will be a monologuist to contend with.
Venue: Nietzsche's 248 Allen Street Running Time: 30 Minutes Admission: Pay what you can Remaining Performances: Wednesday, Aug 3, 9:30-10:00 and Thursday, Aug 4, 7:00-7:30.

Certainly, Kennedy has "been around politics" all of her life, which is to say she was born into a family of politicos and lived in the White House--neither of which would necessarily f … - Dec 18th 2008, 7:55am

The NFTA Santa Ride
Well it is Christmas time in the city and the NFTA helped put people and especially children into the mood in a very festive and fun way. One of my favorite memories of childhood was taking the train downtown with my grandfather. I would gaze out the windows and watch the tunnel speed by. It always felt like we were going a million miles an hour.
Then there was the ability to stand up and walk around during the ride without the need to be strapped down. It was always a fun time … - Dec 17th 2008, 4:34pm
