MY FIRST TIME
Was your first time awkward or "like Christmas morning!" (Story #19553)? Were you with your high school sweetheart or with your psychology professor (Story #7779)? Were you in Washington Square Park (Story #5049) or a Burger King bathroom (Story #2995)? If you did it, you probably remember it. And now you can hear about everyone else’s!
My First Time is a new play in the style of The Vagina Monologues that features four actors telling hysterical and heartbreaking stories about first sexual experiences written by real people … just like you. In 1998, nearly a decade before blogging began, a Web site was created that allowed people to anonymously share their own true stories about their "First Times." The site became an instant phenomenon with more than 40,000 stories pouring in from around the globe that were silly, sweet, absurd, funny, straight, gay, shy, sexy and everything in between. And now, these true stories and all of the unique characters in them are brought to life in this acclaimed 90-minute play, presented by Ken Davenport, the producer of Altar Boyz and creator of The Awesome 80s Prom.

My Horizontal Life
Opening with a cute story from when she was seven and photographed her parents having sex, stand-up comedian Handler goes on to discuss the virtues of the one-night stand, which amount to having sex early enough so you're not months into a relationship before you discover he's into "anal beads and duct tape." She discusses her quest for sex with a "black man," which doesn't work out because the date she finds on ChocolateSingles.com has a penis so large, she "would have had to be the size of the Lincoln Tunnel to accommodate that thing." After him, there's a "little midget," but she sobers up before sleeping with him. Next come a number of would-be partners with penises too small to consider. Finally, there's a guy Handler does sleep with, only an embarrassing incident involving a "giant skid mark" prevents her from seeing him again. By the end, Handler considers settling down with one man, which might actually net her more sex than these mostly unconsummated one-night stands. Anyone who laughs at the mere mention of vaginas and penises may find Handler's book almost as much fun as getting drunk and waking up in some stranger's bed. Agent, Michael Broussard Dupree.

ARE YOU THERE VODKA? IT'S ME, CHELSEA
When Chelsea Handler needs to get a few things off her chest, she appeals to a higher power -- vodka. You would too if you found out that your boyfriend was having an affair with a Peekapoo or if you had to pretend to be honeymooning with your father in order to upgrade to first class. Welcome to Chelsea's world -- a place where absurdity reigns supreme and a quick wit is the best line of defense. In this hilarious, deliciously skewed collection, Chelsea mines her past for stories about her family, relationships, and career that are at once singular and ridiculous. Whether she's convincing her third-grade class that she has been tapped to play Goldie Hawn's daughter in the sequel to Private Benjamin, deciding to be more egalitarian by dating a redhead, or looking out for a foulmouthed, rum-swilling little person who looks just like her...only smaller, Chelsea has a knack for getting herself into the most outrageous situations. Are You There, Vodka? It's Me, Chelsea showcases the candor and irresistible turns of phrase that have made her one of the freshest voices in comedy today.
Sorry for the cancelation on the first week, but ya know what?? WE'RE GOING TO THE SUPERBOWL!!! :)
Sunday Jan 25th at 2pm we will be meeting for the book club, 40th st and Indian School. Read the whole book if you can, we will discuss it and decide on meeting plans then!
