HISTORY:
Drinkytown began in 2002 as a night hosted by Armando Diaz and Shannon Manning, featuring two shows directed by them - Armando's Pleasure Island and Shannon's Red All Over, improv inspired by politics and current events where we gave away free copies of The Nation. In November 2002 the slot was handed over to Slow Motion, who gave it to Variety Underground, which still runs every Thursday night.
Drinkytown returned in 2003 for a wonderful year of weekly Wednesday shows by the Perfect Taco, the Drinkytown Workshop, Beauty Love Truth, Red All Over, Uno, and fantastic guest groups.
Drinkytown is now on hiatus, and the night has been handed over to Ash Wednesday, hosted by Evel Cathedral. Thank you to everyone who has played so far, and we'll see you again soon!
