“The Computer Age”
The shows of January 2010 were dedicated to celebrating the wonders, horrors, and unforeseen side-effects of living in the digital age. We learned that, surprisingly, there’s more to it than porn over the course of two nights spent double-clicking our mice until they went blind.

“When Poverty Strikes”
The economy was in the dumper, we lost around six million jobs, and the state of California was going bankrupt. What were we going to do, cry about it? Blog about it?
No, we’re better than that. We stood up on a stage in a room full of strangers and regaled them with stories from the [...]
