Burlesque show at El Corazon

John writes:

FRIDAY Jan 18TH
Burlesque show at El Corazon There is a lot of Burlesque in Seattle. You can get on any number of the mailing lists and go see the same girls tittilate you, however, this show is being put on by one of our list members an it's the first shwo she has produced here in town.
What does that mean? Well, the phrase "Fresh Meat' comes to mind. But in reality what it means is Fresh Talent. It's not the same set of girls, it's new performance peices, and it's probably worth going and checking it out.
Oh yeah, and there are some bands there as well... (duh.)

Kiss of Fire At The Wet Spot

John writes:

SATURDAY, JANUARY 19
Kiss of Fire 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM 18+. $25 At The Wet Spot
(for those that have thought that tattoos were a bit mild:

The hiss of a blowtorch. The glow of steel heated to a cherry red. The momentary fear of wondering how it will feel. The sudden touch of steel to flesh. The tension is released and the endorphins flare as the mark is made. The final result is work of art. This is the body branding experience.

Elwood will be presenting a workshop on the art, safety, and aesthetics of body branding with a live branding demonstration. Topics that will be covered will include a brief history of body branding, what designs work for a brand, the various methods of branding, temporary branding, things to never let someone do you to with branding, and the aftercare of a brand.

Elwood is a professionally trained and certified body piercer and body brander, scarification and suspension artist and photographer. He was trained in San Francisco, California by Fakir Musafar, (the father of the Modern Primative and man who is credited with bringing body piercing to the western world).

As an educator and body modification practitioner, Elwood is known for his humorous personality while educating audiences on a variety of classes and workshops. He is acknowledged for his vast knowledge of the history of body modification and practical safety.

Elwood has presented numerous workshops surrounding body modification topics for BIO, VASM, Libido Events, Seattle's Wet Spot, Edmonton O Society, Victoria's Sagacity, Nanaimo and Winnipeg's Distinguished Lecturer Series.

Elwood has also been featured on Television with appearances on Shaw's "Urban Rush", Discovery Channel's "Skin Deep", TLC's "Human Canvas: Sacred Skin" and on MTV Canada's "Select". Elwood has also been featured in various print mediums.

His commitment to advanced safety has also led to Elwood becoming an educator to the Simon Fraser Health Authority for the body modification industry.

Working out of Dermagraphic Osmosis Tattoo and Piercing in Richmond, British Columbia, Elwood is always happy to answer any questions or concerns about any body modification topic at elwood@allaboutelwood.com or by calling 604.836.5013.

After a string of critically acclaimed releases Gui was invited to headline stages at both the MUTEK and DEMF festivals in 2007, where he won over North American audiences with beautifully elaborate performances ranging from aggressive techno and electro, to dub-influenced electronica.

Boratto will be touring for his 2007 full length release "Chromophobia", which has gone on to be one of the best reviewed albums of the year as well as making it onto countless "best of 2007" charts.
