Fake Bacon @ Thirsty Ear Sept 8th

Wild Wild Show last night as we helped to celebrate Shimmy Shake Project's 2nd anniversary! Parlor Tricks opened with a set that turned absolultely hilarious over the get-for "Sea Monkeys", then Shimmy pulled off with an incredible set with a diaper changing Home Shopping Network, a day in the life of a NetJetter, and the Manson Family all showing up late for work. Sophia's last show for a while (can't you just hold the baby while you're onstage?)

Bacon was full-tilt boogie with all the members present in one room at the same time (a rare occurrence, believe you me). We chartered our bacony territory until we ran into some mikeage problem (no, not Mike singing the blues, but microphone problems). Sturdy Captain Jason steered us through a set of some of our--how do we put this nicely--LOUDER games, so mikes be damned. All this culimating in a big-bellied game of Da Do Ron Ron where Woosley and Prosser tied over the name Nancy.

NEXT SET: OCT 1ST AT THE SUMMIT 10PM

Fake Bacon @ Summit/Bourbon St. Sept 3rd

Gathering of groups right before Labor Day weekend to bon voyage Jeff out of Parlor Tricks and into Second City Training in Chicago (we're jealous Jeff, take us all with you). Sprinkled him all throughout the set with FNN, Parlor Tricks, Fake Bacon and one Shimmy Shaker (hey, it's better than no Shimmy Shakers, right?) Bacon started with its Five Second Movie bonanza in which Scott actually pulled down his pants while actually eating cole slaw on stage, proving that the stress of divorce is really getting to him. Never fear though, things could get worse with perhaps the most woefully played game of Blues performed anyhow, anywhere (when the so-called professional starts repeating the same word over and over again, it's Check Please time). Audrey came back just in time to win the Dating Game with a guy named Rich or Rog or Vag. And good thing that Shimmy Shaker Erin did show up as she reigned over Da Do Ron Ron.

The big news for Shimmy Shake is that tonight is their 2nd year anniversary!!! And they will all be there!!! Bad news is that Sophia is taking a hiatus after tonight. The good news is that she is having a baby!!!! See you at Thirsty Ear tonight!
