Event description from organizers:

A show for punks! A show for do-it-yourselfers! A show for those who want to see creation instead of consumption! A show for anger! A show for fear! A show for possibility! A show for anyone who needs a little catharsis, a little hope, and a lotta hotties. On the busiest shopping day of the year, beat the crowds by skipping them entirely. Instead spend the evening with this vibrant cast of drag, burlesque, music, and sideshow artists from all over New England.
