December 6  Wednesday

Pink Eye Queer Film Series
Film
8:00pm
$TBA
PinkEye Indie Queer Movie Salon presents "Fagsploitation: Hustlers, Tops and Go-Go Boys." DJ Bendito Chavez of Mary's serves up campy oh- so-gay tunes to match the hot, hilarious and just strange Fagsploitation movies: Bruce LaBruce's classic "Hustler White‚" Gary Gregerson‚s "Mondo Bottomless‚" and assorted other hard candy‚ for the eyes. Plus bouncy go-go boys, hot buns and tasty wieners (pork or veggie) to stuff into them, and of course, condom-ints.
Not to mention beer and wine, of course. I mean, are we gay or what? In fact, this show is so hot we're restricting it to 18-and-overs. Come early to get a snack!
Future PinkEye programs include a "Dirty South" program of local queer indie erotica in February.

December 7  Thursday

First Thursday Open Improv
Music
9:00pm
$FREE

This month’s theme:

POP!

…goes the weasel, goes your pimple,
goes the balloon, goes your life,
goes our music.

POP! Music is sic transit gloria, fleeting, here today, gas tomorrow …
(Hey, remember this old communist lyric, from that great album The Communist Manifesto?: "Everything that is solid turns into air." music by K. Marx/lyrics by F. Engels)
Anyways, POP! Goes everything now, like in the blink of an eye (Interesting thought popping up here: can there be anything like 'in the blink of an ear'? YES!! POP! music! .) So what is POP! Music now? EVERTHING is POP! music now …and the more 'avant' it is…the more POP! it is!! You can A.D.D. anything to POP! music! It's exciting! It's Now! (Except when Now is yesterday --which it always is! But it's also the Future!) 
It's Hot! (AND cool, AND indie, AND alt, AND avant!!)
It’s everyplace you want to be! We're beaming at ya from the satellite babe!! (Hey, we've entered another great album cover tune!: "Sentence first-- verdict afterwards," as sung by R. Queen / libretto by L. Carrol, from the song book "Alice In Wonderland.")
So, come on out and let's POP! together. We're everything you want to be!! 
First there was a mountain, and then there wasn't!!

POP!!

Miscellany

October’s Podcast
We devoted lots of time to a revisiting of the Atlanta underground/ indie scene of the early/mid 1980s, with previously unreleased recordings by 86, Pillowtexans, Vietnam and Amalgamated Cliff Divers; there's a show at Eyedrum on Oct. 7th that has lots of people from these bands performing for the first time in many years. After the retro fix, we played a few songs by Tunnels, Acid Mothers Temple and Hubcap City, all recorded live at Eyedrum in the past month. We closed with Tuna Helpers (performing Oct. 11th) and a short piece by avant garde luminary Jack Smith. If you don’t know what all the podcast fuss is about, a podcast is simply an audio file that you can listen to on your computer or portable mp3 player. For those of you who are familiar with podcasting, please click on podcast. (http://www.eyedrum.org/radioshow.xml ) You can also just download the whole show (right click on "download") although be forewarned that the file is over 50 MB in size. If you’re having trouble, respond to this email… we can help! 

September’s Podcast
