Living Free in the NYC! And Me!

How about this: 

Just in time for the New Economy, www.livingfreeinthenyc.blogspot.com comes along, a handy resource for all free/cheap crap to do in the greatest city in the world. Sure, living free in NYC is improbable, but it's not impossible. Think Anna Nicole Smith or whatevers (I'm not there just yet but it's not been ruled out yet either). While you wait for that meal ticket, check 'em out because they pimp quality free stuff. Take for example, oh, I dunno,  Lil' old me and my new show, Misery Date. Which happens to be free!

MISERY DATE: Online, Blind, and Simply Ridiculous Dating Stories - Are you single and frustrated? Perpetually the 3rd wheel? Sexless and the City? Anne Altman (Mortified, Two Can Anne) feels your pain because she's experienced the lion's share of terrible dates in this town: Cheap Guy, Gross Guy, Dumb Guy, Silent Guy, Militant Zionist Guy, "No Doubt About It" Guy (his favorite phrase), Creepy I'm Gonna Mention in the First 20 Minutes That I've Had a Vasectomy Guy, Nice Guy (never saw him again), Yoga Guy Who Liked to Say Namaste, Guy Who Smelled Like a Hamper, Yellow Rubber Bracelet Guy, and she could go on. Oh, and she will--misery loves company, so she's invited some similarly disenchanted folks to share their miserable stories for a cathartic evening of laughs, pity, a sliver of hope! All that plus some frosty beverages from the bar, what's not to love?
Hosted by Anne Altman.

Next Misery Date: July 31, 7:30 pm at Ochi's Lounge. It's a Friday, so you can get your drink --and your weekend--on while you enjoy tales of online, blind, and simply ridiculous dating stories as told by those who survived with absolutely no cover charge. Why? Because your life isn't where you want it to be, you know it, and you deserve better.

Oh, like Living Free in the NYC isn't my --and your-- new favorite blog? I totes think it is. You're welcome, everyone!

Two New Shows: One New and One Brand New!

1. 
   
   New: Mortified NYC! New Location, New Time! Le Poisson Rouge, Wednesday, May 20, 2009 @ 7 p.m. $10 tickets in advance, $15 day of show. "Hailed a 'cultural phenomenon' by Newsweek and celebrated for years by the likes of This American Life, The Today Show, Esquire, The Onion AV Club, Daily Candy, Entertainment Weekly, and E!, Mortified is a comic excavation of the strange and extraordinary things we created as kids. Witness adults sharing their own adolescent journals, letters, poems, lyrics, home movies, stories and more. After all, where else can you hear grown men and women confront their past with firsthand tales of their... first kiss, first puff, worst prom, fights with mom, life at bible camp, worst hand job, best mall job, and reasons they deserved to marry Jon Bon Jovi." Produced by Anne Altman and Julia Wright!
