Monday Night Shades Of Green Preview: Bea Well
Tonight’s Green Mondays Trivia will be co-hosted by the author Anna Jarzab, whose first novel, All Unquiet Things, is coming out on Delacorte/Random House next January.
And in honor of this weekend’s passing of the most Golden of all the Girls, tonight’s trivia will be brought to you by the year 1996 and the letter … Bea.
I finally understand what Ronald Reagan meant when he said all that stuff about “mourning in America.” I’m going to miss her putdowns, her withering stare, her perfect timing, the eyebrows, god, the eyebrows. Beatrice Arthur was a comic genius, as Maude she did for feminism what Archie Bunker did for racism (or anti-racism, I guess), and her place in entertainment heaven shall be righteously awarded posthaste.
Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m off to drown my sorrows in some pork tartare and chitlins before going to my weekly pre-trivia satanic ritual sacrifice. We may eventually run out of Golden Girls (Not yet, Betty! Stay with us!), but the Sacrificial Virgin Index is at an all-time low.
Shades of Green is at 125 E. 15th Street, about 100 yards from Union Square [here’s a map]. No cover, trivia starts at 8:30pm. Miller High Life special: 2 for $5 for players.
