3) Buntport Theater's New Year's at 9 most resembles a party: From 7 to 10 p.m., the company will take a break from dreaming up its next show, Wake (a Buntport deconstruction of Shakespeare's The Tempest that opens at the end of January), to host a fundraising bash that includes dinner, drinks and dancing, with a 9 p.m. ball drop that gives you plentyy of time to kiss and run before midnight. Tickets are $25; visit Buntport online for reservations or see the Facebook event page for details. 2) Art lovers can shmooze at a free, opening reception for CORE New Art Space member Lola Montez's abstract-painting show, Juego, before moving on to the second act. Join the artist from 6 to 10 p.m.; if you can't make it, the exhibit continues through January 18.See also: - High times in Madrid
1) At the Mercury Cafe, the night will still be young when the annual Erotic Poetry Festival gets going at 7 p.m. An event that's both silly and sexy, it's been a tradition at the Merc for many years, and -- promisingly -- will include performances by the Holly-Bollywood Belly Dancers. You'll be well-titillated by the time you head out the door for new adventures...or Ryan Secrest, if that suits you better. Or you can stay: Visit the Facebook event page for a full listing of Merc New Year happenings .
