Weekend Bitch returns after a liver crushing weekend in Key West.  Good news is I made it of the island alive and those Hemingway six toes cats have a permanent home.  In the end, pussy always wins out.  (Thank you! Makes sure to tip your waiters!)  Now, like menstration, we start the process anew with some outstanding stage performances, the return of the original stoner comedians, and REAX's newest and favorite political commentator.
