Dr. Lawrence Atop's Journey to The Polygon of Suffering

On every Wednesday in October and November, the Hideout hosts Doctor Lawrence Atop's Journey to The Polygon of Suffering, a mysterious variety show that promises to impart "sacred wisdom, grave warnings and deep knowledge of the human experience." The good doctor is backed by the Fruit Stare Band, which features members of local acts like Mucca Pazza, Detholz!, Judson Claiborne, Bobby Conn and White Rabbits. If you're looking for some existential mid-week entertainment, this looks like the place to be.
