[order missing]
1) John Shirley, CONFESSION, monologue, performed by the authorNote: The strange ordering here is because there was hardly anyone on campus, let alone in the Masonic Hall this night and we were just about to cancel No Shame because we only had four pieces in the order, including one FAK piece, when Juice and Steigerwalt showed up and wanted to be put in, so we slugged them into the order as point this and that, rather than adding them at the end in a clump. So, the numbers here in parantheticals represent the original order, and the numbers in the list above are the actual numerical order in which they occured. ---Ristau
