A descent into the psyche of Jamie Loftus is an experience that we’ve enjoyed reveling in for the last couple of years now.

So, a show that’s specifically themed to losing her virginity 7 years ago hosted by the man she lost her virginity to sounds pretty great to us.

Also, in Jamie’s own words, there will be:

– A STUPID-ASS PLAY WITH ME N BARBIE
– FREE ZINES FOR THOSE WHO RSVP IN ADVANCE
– ENTERTAINMENT B/W SCENES FROM LUMINARIES SUCH AS:
Lizzy Cooperman, Mira Gonzalez, Christina Catherine Martinez, Mitra Joy,Caitlin Durante, Alana Levinson, Corie Johnson, MY PARENTS Jill andMike, MY BROTHER Ben, MY OBOE TEACHER
– NEW CARTOONS FROM ME JAMIE
– THE OPPORTUNITY TO TAKE YOUR PHOTOGRAPH WITH A MASSIVE SEVERED HYMEN WHO WILL TELL YOUR FORTUNE
– LIVE COMMENTARY FROM STEVEN WHO ACTIVELY PARTICIPATED IN AUGUST 15 2010 INTHAT HE WAS THE ONE WHO TOOK FROM ME THAT WHICH I CAN NEVER GET BACK (CONSENSUALLY)

For what could be a life-altering show, donations will be accepted.
