Last No Shame of the Year!

This Friday is the last No Shame of the year!!! How can that be, you may be asking. Well, the fourth Friday this month is Christmas Eve. As our audiences have been a bit thin lately, I can't imagine a hoard of rabid No Shamers making it that night in particular. We hope many of you will come out for this year's finale. We are instituting a new policy - if you bring 2 new people to No Shame, you get in free. That's right folks - make your friends part with their $5 and get yourself in for free! ---Annaliese
