Shet de do
Us honkeys (look, fact-checker, bug off!) back in Indianny used to laugh uproariously when reading Huck Finn
(Shut the door.)
Open that thing and get off your ass this week with some fine non-holiday flavorites hand-picked by ANP.

- 7pm: Try out for the Urban Pros winter hoops league. Yes, yes, okay. I am nervous. Street ball with dudes is one thing. Hoops with an ump and ladies only is another. Women ballplayers do not fuck around. I just hope I don’t embarrass myself too badly. Please tell me that one of my readers is also a female ballplayer who is free tonight?
- 11pm: Dirty Amesy. I’ve written about Jonathan Ames before, but I don’t think I’ve told you the story about how I discovered him. And I’m not telling you now, either, as it’s dorkalicious and I have a god-damned reputation to maintain!
Wednesday, 11/29 brings us a repeat profo of Ameswaldo.
I will have shows upstairs at Mo Pitkin’s at 11 pm (doors open at 10:30). Mo Pitkin’s is located at 34 Avenue A, between Second and Third Streets. Tickets cost $15. Each night, the same thing will more or less happen: I will be screening the odd half-hour TV pilot I made two years ago — What’s Not to Love? This pilot has never really been seen by anyone, so as a freakish curiosity it may hold some appeal. In the pilot, which I wrote, I play myself, as it were, and there are characters based on some of my friends. After the screening, there will be some q&a, arm-wrestling, partial-nude wrestling by Patrick Bucklew, interviews with audience members, and a dance piece, I hope, by Valmonte Sprout. Also, Moby, the musician, may play a song or dance or both. Tickets can be purchased at the door or through Ticketweb.

- 9/8c: New episode of Battlestar Galactica (Unfinished Business) on the SciFi Channel. Written & produced by my friend Michael Taylor (who snapped this photo during his trip home for Turkey Day last week).
A rank-free boxing tournament aboard the Galactica is intended to help the officers and crew blow off steam, but it quickly drags old grudges into the light — including Apollo and Starbuck’s lingering issues and resentments, which were spawned on New Caprica.
That’s all I got, folks. Sweepybear. Gotta go find my basketball shoes.
