We thought about making this one creepy clown sighting themed, but decided we all need a break from the election. We’ll be seeing new work from Yula Paluy, Richie Rhombus, Raegan Truax, Niki Ulehla and Derek Phillips. Friday, 10/21, at 282 Franconia St., in Bernal. As usual, doors open at 8:30, with performances beginning around 9:15.
