Chicago Nerd/Lesque Events

15 May

A few links to sate your nerdly and burlesque desires.

Ties and Tassels has just posted info about some cool upcoming events, including their Ties N’ Tassels Presents: Crime and Punishment show on the 19th, where you can see Stella Cheeks perform!

If you’re looking for a little late night awesome on Saturday, check out iO’s Improvised Star Trek.  It’s at midnight every Saturday through June 9th and tickets are FIVE DOLLARS.  Seriously.  People.  Five dollars.  Improvised.  Star Trek.  Incidentally, I’m also a fan of Whirled New Tonight which plays at 8pm.

Tickets for June Geek Peeks at Gorilla Tango are on Living Social for $10 with only four days left!  This show is directed by Diva LaVida, who is just the hottest–for serious–and stage managed by one Busy Beaver, so you know it’s going to be fabulous.

And finally, the last week of the first round of the $500 Burlesque Thing is tomorrow!  Tickets are $15 and you get to vote for your favorite three performers to move on to the final round!  The line-up includes:

Paris Green

Tila von Twirl

Marci Vousplait

Stella Cheeks (!!)

Jen Dollface

Dahlia Fatale

Bella Bathory

That’s all for now.  If you know of other sexy nerd stuff going on in Chicago, leave it in the comments!
