Prince Gomolvilas will be performing excerpts from BAMBOO NATION.

Writer/performer Prince Gomolvilas morphs his acclaimed BAMBOO NATION blog ( http://bamboonation.blogspot.com) and BAMBOO NATION podcast (http://bamboonation.blogspot.com) into a unique and innovative live event, featuring true stories about high and low culture, about being trapped at concerts full of horny women, and about the meaning of the entire universe--except for Bjork because there's no explanation for HER.

Prince Gomolvilas performs Saturday, September 29 at KSW's space180.
