If you don’t have a ticket yet to this Thursday’s HUMILIATION! THE PARTY, seriously, get on it—don’t risk it at the door.

The two-hour literary cabaret features poet/biographer/critic Wayne Koestenbaum (author of the new book Humiliation), standup comedy by Solomon Georgio, a stripped-down set by Tacocat, a reading by Nate Quiroga, original music and multimedia by Jose Bold, and DJ Porq on the turntable. Plus, Derek Erdman‘s portraits of seven humiliated people throughout history, including this one of Anita, above. If it’s been a while since you’ve seen that old clip of Anita getting it in the face, it’s after the jump—enjoy.

Again: tickets here.

  1. I remember as a kid when that happened. I was like “hey, somebody pied the crazy orange juice lady!”

    Not exactly the Stonewall riots, but still a big day (even if only symbolically) in the timeline of the GLBT rights movement.
