"This screening of Pee-wee's Playhouse Christmas Special honors the memory of Paul Reubens, everyone's favorite nasally, bow-tied, high-camp artiste. (It's not all about him, though: Cher, Oprah, Grace Jones, Little Richard, and k.d. lang make appearances.) Pee-wee's shiny postmodern sarcasm and half-toy, half-human, kitschy sincerity were far more influential than we gave him credit for. If you're in need of a little spiked-eggnog cheer,"
"Punky witchcraft boutique Skyclad Emporium and paranormal java company Sinister Coffee present a night of macabre poetry and local bands performing dark, cinematic tracks. A showcase of poets from Skyclad Emporium's recurring open mic night There's No Quiet In This Room kicks the night off before Strange & the Familiars guide us into the musical portion of the evening with their narrative jazz tunes."
A screening of Pee-wee's Playhouse Christmas Special honors Paul Reubens and features appearances by Cher, Oprah, Grace Jones, Little Richard, and k.d. lang. The event frames Pee-wee's blend of postmodern sarcasm and kitschy sincerity as influential. Violet Hex opens with pre-show drag and spliced archival commercials. The listing encourages wearing an ugly sweater and enjoying spiked eggnog to enhance the experience. A separate live-music evening presented by Skyclad Emporium and Sinister Coffee showcases macabre poetry and local bands. Strange & The Familiars perform narrative jazz, Taylor Kingman offers vulnerable Americana, and Federale headlines with psych rock inspired by '60s and '70s Spaghetti Westerns, led by Collin Hegna.
