Someone apparently thought it'd be a good idea to have Sean "my voice is effeminate but I'm really a tiptoeing communist" Culver back to Jazzbones, his former place of employment. As many will recall, Culver booked the Boneyard for years, specializing in comedy, his indie showcase nights and, most prominently disturbing facial hair. Friday "Pretty Boy Sean's Showcase" returns to Jazzbones with music from Jobe Himself, The Black Sails and Monique Lanier.

This will be a homecoming of sorts, with references to Hugo Chavez and midget porn for those within eavesdropping distance of Culver.
