Odd Ball/WISE Hall accessibility

Just a reminder that if you have ability issues to please contact us prior to the party by sending an e-mail to oddball@michaelvsmith.com. Odd Ball is happy to accommodate folks with ability issues by making the hall and the party more accessible to our party-goers. If you let us know when you plan on arriving we can arrange for you to get into the hall via ramp access. Additionally, if you have trouble standing for long periods of time we can provide you with a chair to sit on while you wait in line.

In the hall we always have two tables marked and reserved for those with ability issues. The tables are to the right of the stage and will be marked with signs.

If you are unable to e-mail us prior to the party, please speak with one of our volunteers at the front doors and we will do our best to make the Odd Ball a fun, comfortable and accesible night for you and your friends.

Shake-a-your-rump into the new year!

Once again the Odd Ball brings you a stellar line-up of DJs to make you wanna dance all night long.

Big Bang Odd Ball is pleased to welcome DJ Art Flick to the stage! DJ artflick has been playing the east side since the inception of the Bent parties in January 2006. As a restless sagittarius, she spins an eclectic mix from riot grrrl & political hip-hop to queer dark wave & electro. After three years of editing her big ol' trannie-dyke documentary She's a Boy I Knew, DJ artflick's New Year's Resolution is to hit the road on her '69 Vespa.

Art Flick

Ruggedly Handsome returns for her seventh Odd Ball! DJ Ruggedly Handsome is a lover of good songs with an affinity for girl bands, think The Slits not the Spice Girls. On occasion she has been known to take her musical cues from her feline companion. This Scorpio is very in touch with her feelings and has been bringing the dance party to your living rooms, bedrooms, libraries, lezzie bars, basements, and community centers since 2004.

Ruggedly Handsome

And Odd Ball's very own Titz McGee. Most recently Titz DJ'ed a holiday dance party for a crowd of librarians---buns, readings glasses and cardigans were flying everywhere. In 2008 Titz hopes to exercise more, get her readings done for school and conquer Guitar Hero.

We Odd Balls would like to acknowledge that our New Year's party is $5 more than our other parties. This is NOT a new trend. We're only charging more because the overhead costs are more on New Years Eve.

Tiny bubbles

Just a quick note to let you know that the WISE Hall bar will have bottles of champagne stocked on New Year's Eve for Big Bang Odd Ball. Champagne will be sold by the bottle. A reminder that the WISE Hall bar is CASH ONLY.

It wouldn't be New Years without a New Year's baby . . .



Your Little Pony and Halfbreed exploded from behind the scene of 1980's western's, disney, and muchmusic to bring you the true definition of ham. This duo mixes hip hop, burlesque, and physical comedy in short skits or burlettas. They also host cabarets in characters that fit any theme. Soon they'll be adding a third performing into the mix, when their baby is born in March 2008!

The Sweetest Dumpling . . .


Spiciest Dumpling
Joanie Gyoza is a dear little darling whose tassel twirlin' prowess may cause cardiac arrest! Her sultry striptease style always guarantees giggles and a smile! Her signature acts aim to cultivate lusty laughs and erotic gasps: she titillates, she tantalizes and she's delightfully goofy: she's Joanie Gyoza. She's the cutie-pie inadvertent pervy, curvy sexpot! She aims to blossom into what is Neoburlesque at its best: comedy, sexiness and creativity that empowers both the womyns and the community.

Aerials at midnight!

The first aerial silks performance, by the fabulous Jen Cressey, was way back in October 2005. After seeing the Halloween crowd go wild for Jen, Odd Ball has had a queer or queer-friendly aerialist at every party since. We Odd Balls would like to thank these performers for the incredible amount of work, strength and beauty that goes into their art.
Jillian
And speaking of strength and beauty . . . Jillian will be performing at Big Bang Odd Ball. Jillian is a queer theorist by day and a silks aerialist and trapeze artist by night who hopes to one day run away with the circus. You may remember her from Odd Ball Halloween 2006 or other circus/cabaret events around town.
Just before midnight, you'll see Jillian counting down the
New Year as our
Odd Ball HUMAN BALL DROP!
