    [It was "JAB Challenge Night." No Shame had sunk to such an incredible low number of performers that Smick, Brooks, and I told the audience that for every piece performed the next week that didn't involve the three of us, we would perform a piece the week after. Our intent, of course, was to encourage more people to perform. Results were so-so; when the night in question rolled around, eight non-JAB pieces took place, so the next week Smick, Brooks and I (individually and collectively) performed eight pieces. Also included were Smick's Brass Man poem (I think that's what it was called) and perhaps Fruitopia? --Adam]

    [The following pieces were part of this show:]

    [From Smick's file: A list of possible JAB pieces to perform on JAB challenge night: Adam solo piece, Smick's poem, Stacy's letter, Brooks Solo (maybe), Fag Seat, Disclaimer, Corona, The Pen Opera Pt. II (German), Mumblebeast, Crazy Glue Man]
