Join us for a salute to Head, the trippiest psychedelic cult film of all-time. Written by Jack Nicholson and starring the Monkees, with guest appearances by everyone from Frank Zappa to Annette Funicello, this brazen and bizarre 1960s musical comedy must be seen to be believed. The evening will feature a screening of the 86-minute film in high-definition sound and picture, followed by a panel moderated by Kurt Loder (“The Good, the Bad and the Godawful”) and featuring Monkees historian Eric Lefcowitz (author of “Monkee Business: The Revolutionary Made-For-TV Band”), podcast host Julie Klausner (“How Was Your Week”), author and music journalist Rob Sheffield (Rolling Stone), and other special guests. The ultimate tribute to a cinematic milestone, “Night of the Living Head” is the acid flashback you’ve been waiting for.

Writer/performer/musician/comedy-type guy Dave Hill presents “The Dave Hill Explosion,” the show that critics are already calling the most incredible thing that has ever happened in North America. As they say in proctology circles, brace yourself as Dave talks, reads, sings, dances, shows a short film or two, and just sort of touches hearts in general for up to but no longer than 35 minutes straight. Bring the whole family or maybe just someone you’d totally like to bone.
