Naked Filth

Joe Birdsong and the folks at the late great Rapture Books have found an interesting venue for their Reading For Filth series - the West Village loft where scenes from Cruising were filmed. At the new venue, the performers read naked. Oh, and if you attend, you can be too.

On Saturday, June 28th, the folks from Rapture present another edition of their long-running and acclaimed queer literary series where both budding young and well-seasoned pornographers will be baring both their bodies and their souls for their art in another all-naked edition of Reading For Filth. Audience members may also check their clothing and go bare if they so choose.

The evening also marks the 25th Anniversary of the often-maligned William Friedkin cinematic period piece, Cruising, which includes scenes shot in the very loft where the readings will take place. Do you think Karen Allen will be in attendance?

Starring: Dominic Cloutier, Dominick, Mark Sam Rosenthal, Jack Doroshow (aka Flawless Sabrina), and Amber Martin. 24 Ninth Avenue, 5th Floor, $5.

Yeah, I won't be doing any of these shows. Maybe we can talk Eric Leven into it.
