Slow week. No pho eating contest, no loud jacket parties, no fake funerals, no Mariachi contests. But there is at least SeaCompression, Drunk Puppet Night, and Dirty Bunny November. These two events didn't make the list: Sun City Girls in Tacoma, "Things You Have to Live With" @ Hugo House Gallery.

Drunk Puppet Nite @ Re-bar
Monkey Wrench Puppet Lab presents the fourth Drunk Puppet Nite!
It's bigger! It's badder! It's back!
It's the fourth Drunk Puppet Nite!
Drunk Puppet Nite is an evening of puppetry from beyond the pale; a chance for Seattle's most notorious puppeteers to expose their ids in public. This is a chance to enter the nether regions of puppetry. These puppets are ugly, ridiculous, sublime, cool, gross, and righteously political. This time around, Monkey Wrench Puppet Lab will have THREE WEEKENDS to strut our stuff at the Re-Bar, using our wildest imaginings, our darkest fantasies and our best puppet skills. This ain't the library tour!
No two evenings are the same. Performers over the three weekends
include:
Suzy & Nice-Nice; Johnny Jetpack Propulsion Labs; Pinche Pellejos; Clay Martin; Seanjohn Walsh; Matt Fontaine & Tamara Paris; members of Cirque de Flambe, Cry of the Rooster, Islewilde, Thistle Theater and all of your Monkey Wrench favorites!
Monkey Wrench is a cluster of Seattle area puppeteers who are working to expand the public's definition of puppetry by bringing their blend of the surprising, the bizarre and the artistically excellent to audiences around the Puget Sound. Monkey Wrench is the group responsible for Frankenocchio, The Mermaid who Broke my F*cking Heart, and the upcoming Halfpenny Opera.

Greg Lundgren's "I Am An Artist" @ ConWorks.
Only two weekends left...
Consolidated Works is proud to present the WORLD PREMIERE of local star Greg Lundgren's I Am An Artist, a full-length performance that looks at art, death, murder, and crime. The show is a daring production that follows the life and subsequent trial of a female artist whose collection of work includes the artists she murders and places on display as installations. It is bound to be a production surrounded in controversy, both in the style it is presented and the content it explores.

PRETEND @ ConWorks
The press release says:
To keep her parents from separating, a girl pretends her younger sister was kidnapped and things go terribly awry. Screens within screens give multiple perspectives on the action. Director Julie Talen is scheduled to attend. Ed Halter of the Village Voice calls Pretend "a remarkable achievement in editing. Talen edits a dizzying storm of screens within screens, creating a new graphic vocabulary of flashbacks, flash-forwards, fantasy sequences, and parallel actions."
November 14-16
introduced by the filmmaker Julie Talen
Friday - Sunday at 8 pm
Tickets are $7, $5 for Members
ConBar Opens at 7 pm
Consolidated Works is located at 500 Boren Ave. N (Republican and Boren).
Broken Social Scene/Stars/Jason Collett @ Crocodile
Imaginary girl Liz is recommending this show - exclusive for Party Volcano readers:
If they haven't already, Broken Social Scene (and hunky band member Jason Collett) will soon be cropping up as recommendations (based on your previous purchasing/listening history of Godspeed You Black Emperor, the Postal Service, Cure's Disintegration). The Stars aren't too shabby either in their pool of similarities. Think a Canadian, romantic, beats-driven Belle & Sebastian. AND, think that even though this is a monumentally GREAT night of live music options (Hypatia Lake, Pretty Girls Make Graves and Dorkweed are also playing their own shows this night), this line-up is not to be missed. The really smart hipsters will be talking about it for weeks.

Dirty Bunny's Super Furry Birthday Bash
November is Dirty Bunny Month:
Twenty-Nine years ago, a little furry bundle of joy was born. Despite his dead eyes, buck teeth, huge ears, and the dirty white fur all over his body, his loving parents kept and raised the little circus freak as their son.
To celebrate them not shoving the deformed little creature in a dumpster, Guerrilla Masquerade Party will celebrate Dirty Bunny's 29th birthday, with an appropriately furry party at 10pm on Saturday, November 15th.
So snatch up those 1/2 price Halloween costumes, and dress up in your cuddliest, furriest, fuzziest, hairiest costume yet in honor of the freak who started GMP. Come as a kitty or a puppy, a gorrilla or a chimp, a lemur or a sloth. Come wearing a fur coat and fur ear-muffs. Or if you're blessed with your own fur, come shirtless. That's sure to make for a great birthday present for Dirty Bunny.
...
So get your plushy, fuzzy, furry outfits together, and come meet up with rest of the GMP gang for a very warm nite on the town. Everything from angora and mohair, rabbit pelts or fake fur, wig hair or stuffed animals is fair game for this ulta-cuddly evening of fun.
If you wanna be in the dirty bunny costume contest, let dirty b. himself know when you see him at the party. He'll be doing the judging himself, and will have prizes for the best doppelganger.
Thumpers is located at 1500 East Madison, at the corner of 15th and
Madison, Across from CC'Attles and the Taco Time.

Four Days of Gates Ballard
Friday 11/7/2003
Gates attended a birthday bash for fellow PV’er ‘Ron Jeremy’ at our favorite mohawked Italian’s house. Crown Hill/Phinney, where all the mohawked Italians settled years ago. The food was marvelous, as always, and many lovely ladies. But the music could have used some help. Highlight of the night was a certain goth boy, aka ‘muthafucka’ and his remote controlled farting noisemaker. I always thought those Goths were so damn serious, it’s good to see one ‘cut loose’ once in a while. Even if his choosey slut of a date thought it wasn’t funny, Gates laughed his ass off whilst choking his cheap whiskey down. You should get one of those noismakers.. just the thing to liven up those work holiday parties.
Saturday 11/8/2003
Gates head to Gopi’s house in Ravenna. Despite the fact that the only thing on the walls of his house were a clock and a strange little wooden ship, the joint filled up with lots of dot.com looking folks. These yupsters were making Gates a bit nervous, and I hoped my Goth friend with the farting noisemaker would crash the party and liven things up. He showed up, sans noisemaker, but by then the booze was flowing and the DJ’s downstairs had booties shaking. Gopi knows the importance of BOOZE to a party, and he had seeded the bar with good QUALITY hooch. The kind of folks he invited brought some top shelf liquor, none of that monarch SHITE. Let that be a lesson, potential party throwers – good HOOCH can make up for lack of décor. Don’t try it the other way around. 3am he kicks us out of his house, and there’s still booze left. I bet he’ll be drunk all next week, throwing up on his wireless, optical mouse.
Sunday 11/9/2003
Georgetown – it’s whats for breakfast! Dinner actually.. I head to a new bar in Gtown called SMARTY PANTS for a surprise gathering for Lady T and her new hubby Ross the glass artist guy.(Good thing Chihuly didn’t show up, Gates would poke his one good eye out). Nice joint, they serve food till MIDNIGHT. And look, it’s Donaldo tending bar..he used to pour drinks at Loulou’s (R.I.P.), and before that the bastard brought some moron to the WIG N SKIRT 3 party who proceeded to drink too much and pass out on the couch comatose causing paramedics to show up at 4am and pronounce him – drunk, and a moron. And he was wearing some f’d up wetsuit. That aside, onaldo’s a great guy and you should visit him at Smarty Pants.
Monday 11/10/2003
I score a free ticket to one of those uptown events – the Architecture Honor Awards at the newly remodeled Opera house. Fancy digs for a lowbrow guy like Gates. Christ, a beer is $5.75! It’s like the baseball stadium, but no one has a giant foam finger ( that I can see, anyhow). I go looking for the FREE FOOD (the barometer of any upscale event), but there are only TWO friggin trays of it, and you gotta chase them through the crowd. These architects are way too serious, they need to hire some clowns to inject some mayhem into the crowd… or maybe my Goth friend ‘muthafucka’ and his fart noisemaker. Gates’s opera house tip: if you gotta go, bring a flask and a big foam finger.
