SUMMARY:”What is Amateur Female Jello Wrestling? This is a Female-run Sports Satire. We mix showmanship and sportsmanship into a fun event where women get to show off their sense of humor as well as their bootie! Want to come to the show? Anyone can come to a show, but only girls can wrestle.” with musical guests Valeze and Fire Flies

“Want to wrestle? Females of all sizes, shapes, and skill levels are encouraged to participate. Just come to our “Wrestle Lesson,” which is always at 6:30pm before our 8pm show. At that time, you will meet the other wrestlers and learn some fun stunts. Our wrestlers have stage personalities and names and often dress to fit their character. We will help you to find yours. Please invite your friends to the show to cheer for you as you achieve your wrestling glory!”

7pm — Sunday December 10

WHERE: The Great Hall at Cooper Union, 7 East 7th Street, at 4th Ave
COST:$10
SUMMARY:”Reverend Billy and the Stop Shopping Gospel Choir believe that Consumerism is overwhelming our lives. The corporations want us to have experiences only through their products. . . But if we “back away from the product” - even a little bit, well then we Put The Odd Back In God! The supermodels fly away and we’re left with our original sensuality. So we are singing and preaching for local economies and real - not mediated through products — experience. We like independent shops where you know the person behind the counter or at least - you like them enough to share a story.”
“Bring a Gift to give away to a stranger - we’ll start a gift economy at the Great Hall. This is the feel-good solution for radicals. Santa is just a multi-national with a beard, and a real gift economy at Christmas will change the whole year.”
