Have you ever opened the bathroom stall door to such a mess that your first instinct is to look around for a body because nobody could possibly live long or crawl far after having their entire ass end blown off like that? Well now so has Chris. What happens is that you see this and then: 1) The whites of your eyes wax in their orbits as fight-or-flight kicks in; 2) You back out, slam the door, spin and throw yourself against the adjacent wall; 3) You cover your mouth with your hand, as in surprise, stare straight ahead, and take stock of your life, gratefully.

There will be an NYC show on February 5 at the Sin-e. Careful readers of the shows page will already know about this. But they’ll need to have been a real Sherlock Holmes — a real crack deductive reasoner, that is — to have known from our shows page that we’re going to be in California from February 13th through whatever that next weekend is — you know the one.
