Wish I could go! I can't go to events in the city that late because of the train schedules. Ug! One of these days I'm going to get a hotel room and just do all this fun stuff!

We must have different Gods. My God said "do to others what you would have them do to you". Your God seems to have said "My Way or the Highway".
Sorry about the late time on the week night. Partially it's due to the fact that Joe's Pub has become such a popular venue that you need to book 3-6 months in advance. So when I have a month to put something together, I have to take what's available. The other reason is, sometimes actors really want their day off...and for instance, Ashley Parker Angel plays at a space down in SoHo on Monday nights and won't be able to be with us until after 11:30.
But so you know, if you can make it, there will be lots of prizes and gifts for those attending - including free cupcake coupons for a bakery I'm about to open on the East side. :) Seriously...a bakery. you'll hear all about it. :)

I have my tickets for tonight, and I'm very excited.
However, I've never been to Joe's Pub, and I have a question. How early do I need to get there for the show, and is it better to make a dinner/table reservation or will I be in standing room only if I don't have a reservation?
