Melissa and Scrabulous

in Other crap you'll like

Just so you know, Impact isn't the only thing we do with our lives. Melissa and I were both also heavily addicted...to Scrabulous. Something happened that made me kind of lose the kwan for that little mega Facebook app, but Melissa stayed hooked on it. And then Hasbro brought down the hammer, and Scrab was gone -- but the story didn't end there.

Time running out for advance tickets for Impact's poker night

posted by Cheshire on Wed, Jun 11, 2008
in Full Houses

Make sure to reserve your seat(s) at Impact's second annual poker tournament, Full Houses 2, this Saturday night. Save $25 by buying your tickets in advance! (That's like getting a rebuy for free at the tourney.)

Afraid to play because you think you suck at poker? No worries: of course it helps to be good, but everyone has a lot of chances to win some awesome prizes, because anyone who gets a full house or better gets one of our prizes valued from $25-150. Anyone can get a full house -- it doesn't really take any skill.

Plus there's free pizza and desserts all night, expert-level dealers, and great music. It's going to be a blast.

Get Your Troy On!

One of Impact's favorite playwrights, Enrique Urueta, has a staged reading of his brand new play-in-progress Get Your Troy On! on Tuesday June 10 as part of the National Queer Arts Festival. Think Ugly Betty meets the Trojan War. Mean Girls ass-tappin' The Iliad. A pop-kitsch collision of Greek myth and comic books.

The past two performances of 'Tis Pity have completely sold out, and we've had to turn people away. We're psyched about having such a successful show, of course, but we also don't want to disappoint anyone.

There are only four performances left, and if you want to see the show, guarantee your seats by buying your tickets in advance.

Regina Stadnik is awesome

in Local Theatre

Regina Stadnik is a longtime Impact supporter. We at Impact have been lucky to have Regina as a regular audience member for years. Now it's our turn to be her audience member: Regina is part of an awesome visual and performance art event based on the writings of Britta J. Austin called Whole Story: Notecards: A Living Museum.

There are dozens of local artists, dancers, musicians, and theatre folk involved-- many of whom I bet you know.

From Prince and Brandon!

Dear Friends:

Prince and Brandon were planning to spend the summer visiting red-light districts in different parts of the world, but they have both evolved into curmudgeons who would rather watch TIVO-ed episodes of "Deal or No Deal" nonstop. However, they have agreed to emerge from their bilateral, Howie Mandel-induced hypnosis for four public performances of JUKEBOX STORIES in Boston, DC, Minneapolis, and Brooklyn in June. Details below. So we ask you: "Deal...? Or no deal?"
