Did you hate your high school formal or just want to relive your teenage glory? Well, you’re in luck! Bust out your corsages and boutonnieres on September 22nd at the Chapel, where KQED Pop will be throwing a high school dance in honor of a brand new pop culture podcast called The Cooler.
The Cooler hosts Jamedra Brown, Emmanuel Hapsis and Carly Severn will be taking the stage for a live podcast taping with:
Comedy from W. Kamau Bell
Vogueing by Jocquese Whitfield
Music by Brontez Purnell and the Younger Lovers
Live drawing by Thien Pham
There will also be an awkward photo booth for you and your date, and a night of dancing to the best high school dance music from 1990-2005!
Doors open at 6:30pm, Show starts at 7:30pm. This event is 21+.
The first 100 people will get a limited edition KQED tote bag and a free drink ticket. Seating is first come, first served. There are limited seats at this venue. If you need/want a seat plan to get there early.
This event will sell out. Get your tickets NOW!
About The Cooler:
Popular culture gets a bad rap. We say it’s shallow, or meaningless, or irrelevant -- yet we consume it in droves. We click it, read it, share it… then say we have no interest in it. Yet… this is the stuff that surrounds us! Popular culture is the parts of our world, from music and movies to the online thoughts of public figures, that preoccupy us constantly, and have done for centuries. You think It Girls got invented with Paris and Kim? Nope: we’ve been talking, writing and analyzing the movements of these kinds of public figures for hundreds of years. Yet the more popular something is, the more we deny our interest in it -- or at least keep it a secret.
This stuff -- the public themes, issues, problems and people that hold our attention -- is fascinating. So let’s talk about it.
