Safari Sams

Indie legend Sam Lanni brought the 10,000 Maniacs and Sonic Youth to our Southern shores back in the day. Now he's back, swinging on vines in a former tittie club, defying expectations with some of the craziest entertainment the dressed-down crowd has ever witnessed. Punk cabaret of sword swallowers, burlesque, spoken word, political seminars, and brain-shattering live music. Eclectic and...

I went to this place in support of a fundraiser of all things. The night started off okay. The place seemed decent and my server, Caroline, was nice and allowed the three of us that arrived earlier to pay with cash and credit.

"I'll go first, and I'll order a water." These words ticked off the blonde waitress so much that she almost refused to serve me, the main performer, telling me, "you should be asking me nicer." Performance went pretty well, but I won't be returning as either a performer or customer. This place was better as a strip club, when the stripper "Ace" was working there. She was hot; this place was...
