Reggie Watts at Someday LoungeWEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 31 New Years Eve with REGGIE WATTS performing “Temporal Distortion”, with DJ DUNDIGGY, and BEN DARWISH —9pm, $18.00 advance $20.00 at the door

What happens when we really listen? What happens when we decide as a species to finally give up the game?

He can channel over 300 unique characters with his ten-octave vocal range.

Join Reggie, DJ Dundiggy, and The Ben Darwish Trio to say goodbye to the last hours of 2008 and welcome 2009.
