"My Bloody Valentine" to Feature Lady Arm Wrestlers in Friday the 13th Mashup
Fans of lady arm-wrestling can celebrate Valentine's Day and avert Friday the 13th disasters at CLLAW XXI: My Bloody Valentine on Friday, Feb. 13, at Logan Square Auditorium, 2539 N. Kedzie. The event will feature Chicago's most belligerent lady arm wrestlers in appropriately outlandish costumes plus live musical entertainment, a kissing booth, and the chance to win a five-minute date with one of the wrestlers.
Sideshow Theatre Company is staging the lady arm wrestler event as it has 20 times in the past. Gay Name and Swimsuit Addition will provide music. The main event will feature Chicagoans Tammy Faye Wristbreakker. Marie ARMtoinette. Ruth Bader Gunsburg and Stone Cold Jane Austen. A cash bar and Chessie's food truck will offer sustenance to attendees.
Doors for CCLAW XXI open at 10pm with the first match at 10:30. Tickets are $10 (or $15 with 10 CLLAWBUX, the official currency of CLLAW). Audience members can use CLLAWBUX to bet on their favorite wrestlers.
All proceeds from CLLAW XXI will benefit Sideshow Theatre Company and this match's partner charity, 826CHI, a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting students ages 6 to 18 with their creative and expository writing skills and to helping teachers inspire their students to write. Advance tickets are available at www.cllaw.org.
