(EXTRAVAGANZA) After the smashing success of their first New York run, the inspired freaks of
Circus Contraption—"Seattle's original one-ring circus"—are itching to return, hence this fundraiser, which promises to turn ConWorks into a "
giant pillow-and-blankie-strewn living room." Among the many delights: shadow puppets, burlesque,
the Aerialists, a bedtime video by
Reggie Watts, expansive games of
Truth or Dare and
Spin the Bottle, a big-screen Atari tournament, and the
world's biggest game of Twister. Wear your pajamas. (
Consolidated Works, 500 Boren Ave N, 1-800-838-3006. 9 pm until the wee hours, $15/$18, 21+.)
