While I personally find my own near-nakedness too repulsive to expose to the general public, if you have a mild exhibitionist streak, you might enjoy the Lose Your Clothes underwear party coming to Club Congress on June 16th, brought to you by Kitty Katt McKinley and his Powhaus-sequel MEOWmeow Productions. Doors at 9 pm, $3 cover (but free if you strip down to your underclothes), 21 and over.
A nice touch: there will be a complimentary clothing check.
This article appears in May 24-30, 2012.
Wow, Dan. Get a girlfriend ASAP. The raging hormones of many of the 20-something “writers” for the WEAKLY Reader are embarrasing at best.
@Colt: You really have this 36 year old married father of two pegged.
Club Congress has really slumped to an all time low… we will officically remove the “Club” and the Hotel Congress from our frequent dining and entertainment schedules.
@ Dan: Okay, then why not have a little more respect for your wife & children (as well as yourself), select your articles a little better, and leave the porno stuff to the tabloids. If your “editors” are professionals, they’ll understand. Plus, the Tucson Weekly readership may just appreciate the jump in standards.
Colt: The 37-year-old editor of the reigning non-daily newspaper of the year in Arizona here. This post is letting our readers know about an event being put on by one of the more prominent event organizers in town, at one of the more popular venues in town. Are you saying we should not tell people about it because it offends your delicate sensibilities? If yes, then feel free to take The Range off your reading list so you don’t emotionally damage yourself, and go read tucsoncitizen.com instead. If no, then lighten the heck up, and let us tell our readers about events they may want to know about without you chiming in with prudish, misspelled posts. Thanks!
i wouldn’t go unless i was younger sounds like fun lol
Jimmy: nicely done
I am so confused about why Colt Cassidy and Jersey ever read the Weekly at all actually, but, hey Jersey … more room at Congress for me, at age 67, the oldest working female rock critic in the entire world! ;-> (PS my sags and bags and bulges will be sitting out this party in order not to clear the room.)
My wife and I read this and decided we are going to skip it, but more power to those who want to go. If you don’t like this type of thing no one’s forcing you to attend, nor are they forcing you to read about it. Find another web page to read if you don’t like it, find another place to go if you don’t want to be there…it’s just like paper magazines, books, television, movies and any other form of media out there. No one’s forcing you so quit your whining and bellyaching if you don’t like it. There will always be someone else who DOES like it and who do you think you are to keep them from enjoying their lives, they don’t interfere with yours.
The intent of the party is to have fun. We are aiming for a range of ages, as we usually get with our shows (Powhaus, and now MEOWmeow). And I am hoping for some humor too. Nothing is sexier, or funnier than underwear. I am sorry if a few people are offended by this. But if I did events that tip toed around every possible cultural offense, I would probably die of boredom, and probably everyone else too. We live in Arizona, there are way worse things to worry about than some kids dancing in their underwear.
Colt, as a 24-year-old former intern I spent more time making jokes about politicians and my own generation than letting my hormones run loose all over the blog (which sounds quite messy) during my regular contributions to The Range. The other 20-somethings I worked with could say the same things.
Your claim holds no water, friend. Cast your disgust someplace that deserves it.
I was delighted to see the Congress event writeup ..dang, if it was 1974 again I would be there. Now I am wracking my brain to come up with an event for us “less eyesome” older people that would be equally as fun.
Yes, Tucson is so boring. Politics sucks, this will put some energy into the town that night. Probably the police will be out in full force arresting everyone for the dress style, if I know Tucson.
Steve W. I have thrown parties like this before. No cops. No drama. Been fun. Tucson is cooler than you might imagine.
Hey Colt, are you the jerk that saw the sign for the New Pornographers on the Rialto and called up complaining about pornography. I don’t know if anyone told you, but it’s an INDIE BAND. And this underwear party, its not a porno. It’s just kids having fun. You swim in your shorts right? Does that make you pornographic? Jesus, if these sorts of things bother you, why do you bother leaving the house? –ok had to get that off my chest.
I think this totally started when I picked up my friend from a concert at the rialto… in my underwear. Lol Amazing
