Inexplicable Sidenote
Wednesday, October 29- Thursday, October 30 // Door at 7 PM // Show at 7:30 PM // $21-$37 Pick What You Pay Brought to you by the BANGINGSONS (Melissa Bangs & Eric Ellingson)… Inexplicable Sidenote is pulled from the deep mystery and unbound hilarity of “inexplicable sidenotes” Melissa shared during their sold-out show The Bangingsons: A Love Ballad at the ZACC. These morsels from the unseen world acted like a handrail through tales laced with dismantling, death-defying, and profoundly joyful forces. And then—green lights, the X-FILES theme, Melissa deadpans: “Inexplicable Sidenote…” followed by the craziest, otherworldly details. Join us for a night of goose bumps, shrieks, wild laughter… all in recognition of the vast unknown, the mystery leaving breadcrumbs, begging to be honored and seen. Part planned storytellers, part spontaneous OPEN MIC, IneXplicable Sidenote dives into the Unseen World so many experience yet rarely speak of. Each storyteller will have: 3–7 minutes. Green lights. X-FILES theme. And Eric or Mela, repeating your wildest lines, underlining the truth within the unknown. Bring your ghost stories, alien encounters, dead relatives on your bed, inexplicable synchronicities—all wild winks from the great beyond. In honor of Samhain, All Hallows Eve, Día de Los Muertos, and the traditions of their ancestors in Scotland, the Viking world, and the Philippines… The Bangingsons call on the UNSEEN WORLD—guides, ancestors, angels, masters—sourced in love, from the heart of Mother Earth to the edges of the cosmos. Show yourselves!!! Share your magic through the stories and their tellers!!! October 29th & 30th!!!
