CLAW returns November 12; gets Penthouse writeup

They are lawyers, mothers, artists and editors. But they live for the thrill of trying to break each other’s arms onstage. And now you’ll have a chance to see Sparkles, The Punctuator and School Marm as the Charlottesville Lady Arm Wrestlers return to Blue Moon Diner on November 12. (Musical guests will include We Are Star Children.) If for whatever reason you happen to be reading this from some other American city, worry not: CLAW is deposing Subway as America’s fastest growing franchise. Read more about Chicago’s CLLAW, plus some Charlottesville shoutouts, in this article from—where else?—Penthouse magazine.

Tinkerhell (Kristin Hennings Solomon) covers her opponent, The Great Dane Dame of Pain (Karina Goldstein), with a heaping portion of pixie pain during a recent Charlottesville Lady Arm Wrestlers match at Blue Moon Diner.

Don’t miss this tonight: The Parking Lot Movie, of which I am sure you are aware by now, screens tonight as part of PBS’ Independent Lens series. If you feel like enjoying the flick with citizens of the city featured in that film, head over to the Southern for the 10pm screening. Doors open at 9pm.
