Plus: We’ll be drawing the winners in our ‘Date with a Unicorn’ raffle!

I have a feeling that anything is possible in 2010. Maybe it’s all the new talent that’s been approaching me to tell stories at Bawdy, or maybe it’s that I get to start my year by raffling my hot friends off to you…call me an optimist, but things already look promising.
This year’s first Bawdy Storytelling theme, ‘Virgin Territory’, showcases all sorts of first times. Do you remember the first time you encountered sex? Storyteller Kate Kotler does. Remember your fresh-from-the-nest plans to meet and bed the perfect lesbian? Ames Beezer does. Remember your first porno film? Jennifer Blowdryer does. Oh, and that time you tried to sell your virginity to your boss? Johnny FunCheap does. That first Grope-a-Clown box encounter? Yep…Froghole the Clown remembers it, too.
All these memories and more, plus it’s finally here: the Unicorn Raffle! Paypal may call it ’selling escort services’, but we beg to differ (Really. This is all in fun, and Bawdy’s innocent little fundraiser is just that, and nothing more). Can you picture it? You, a glass of wine, and that iconic creature that fantasies are made of, the Unicorn. There are a total of 12 Unicorns in our raffle (two of the prizes are double dates: TWO Unicorns for you, the lucky ticketholder!) for a total of 10 chances to win. Which of these hotties will be entertaining you with juicy tales of sexy single adventures?  Show up Wednesday night and find out!

‘Virgin’ storytellers:
Jennifer Blowdryer
Jennifer Blowdryer is a stand up gal who admires same. She’s written many books, from Modern English: A Photo Illustrated Slang Dictionary, to The Laziest Secretary in the World, and most recently, Good Advice for Young Trendy People of all Ages. Currently she’s collecting 86ed interviews and airing them on her blog, at blog.jenniferblowdryer.com, and www.86edstories.com. The woman has way too many clothes!

Johnny FunCheap
Although born and raised in Los Angeles, Johnny Funcheap is now a local graphic designer and writer having called San Francisco home since 2001. His popular blog, www.funcheapSF.com, uncovers and shares a curated recommendation list of upwards of 50 cheap, fun and unique Bay Area events and experiences each week which was called “one of the most comprehensive places online to find cheap and free things to do in the Bay Area” by CBS 5’s “Eye on Blogs”. Johnny has been featured in the SFGate, SFist, the San Francisco Examiner and Frommer’s Guide to San Francisco, as well as being a regular contributor on radio with KGO and KQED and in print with the San Francisco Bay Guardian.

This is Johnny’s first Bawdy Storytelling event where he will recall how he thought his first sexual experience was going be all about love, and instead, it turned out to be all about the money.

Froghole the Clown

Froghole the clown was born on a drug fueled, dust filled camp out, two years ago. He enjoys the flapping of the unflappable and to this end will take his rubber chicken to the ends of the surreal.  A (partial) theatre arts major has helped tune this clown to telling various tales of insanity and depravity.  Known as the preeminent memorial goat portrait artist in the Greater United States, Froghole also shows aptitude for drawing clowns where none previously existed at such events as Nudeaid and The Imaginary Circus that exists only in his brain

Jonathan Korman
Jonathan Korman is returning to Bawdy with his first new story since our very first event. He’s just another urbane and wicked San Franciscan. You know the drill: cufflinks, gym membership, esoteric job, downtown apartment, lots of weird books, no TV, and interested in motorcycles, movies, interaction design, feminist theory, urban planning, natural philosophy, hermetic philosophy, cocktail recipes, haberdashery, and other forms of occult knowledge.

Ames Beezer
aka Beezy, Sleezy Beez, BEEZ NUTS
Beezer was born with a baby’s head in Detroit, Michigan, but she spent enough years living in enough cities of Pennsylvania that she probably owes them a commemorative Keystone State tattoo of some kind.  She’s been known to start bawdy rumors about herself just so she can walk into parties and overhear the whispers…   “so she’s the reason the running back is on the injured players roster this week!!!”  Beezer loves pie; hates cake.  Also, she excels at accidental nudity (the motorcycle did it) and 4 Square.
