GREAT COACH, GREAT PHOTOS AND TIME TO GET YOUR TICKETS.

So we worked out with Keith Curtis on Monday night. Not only did he participate in the wine-gossip ritual, but he also gave terrific notes and got us thinking about some things in new ways. We're going to love working with him.

Tonight, PBR Light and Grinders Pizza sustained us through a four-hour photo shoot with the absolutely wonderful Ben Pieper. Our makeover stylist, Daryl Forkell, was on hand to make sure we didn't make a big fat fashion faux pas, and Jeff Shumway was there to art direct. The shot above is the first one out (retouched on the spot—because their service is that good).

But even if you'd wanted to, you could not have joined us either night. So we hope you'll come see us Saturday night at 7 at the Fishtank for KC Crossroads Comedy, along with KC Pet Shop and Not a Great Gorilla. Tickets are 6 bucks in advance—get 'em quick. And next Friday the 26th at 9pm, Spite returns to the Roving Imp for a split show with It's Debatable.

Want to see one of the shows free? We'll buy two tickets to either show for the first person to match the tweets to the chick in our contest.
