Family Values!
This week is all about the House of Yes Family, as we bring you events that are all produced by our in-house crew. Kae Burke brings you Make Fun workshop on Wednesday, Hassan brings you live dance music to groove to, and Anya and Jordann offer you aerial performance on Friday that will make you go “WHOA”. We’ve been here since the beginning, and you’re stuck with us. House of Yes is a family run establishment, and although our “family” is a little weird and wild, isn’t yours?
Also, if you haven’t seen our new paint job, it’s sexier than your aunt. Check it out.

SKY BOX AERIAL VARIETY SHOW!
After a huge success in July and a write up in the New York Times, we’ve put together an all new line up of all-star aerial acts for August. This month, we’re being covered by Associated Press TV so make sure you dress Fancy. This show is going to be out of control, with more synchronized dancing, gut-splitting throat-slitting comedy, cross dressing, and upside-down twirl-around antics than ever before! Featuring Sky Box founders Jordann Baker and Anya Sapozhnikova as well as other goregously flexible humans who will make your jaw drop and your panties wet. Check out info about classes and workshops at www.theskybox.org! See last month’s write up in the New York Times: http://cityroom.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/07/23/nocturnalist-aerial-acrobatics/

Creepy White Van!
The time has finally come for House of Yes to become mobile! Therefore, we need to get one of those creepy white vans that creepy white guys drive when they do creepy shit. Not that we’re creepy perverts or anything… we’re just rock n roll circus super stars who need some wheels. Saturday Night, come dance and drink. All money goes to helping us afford a “pimp ride”…by which I mean a creepy white van!
House of Yes. National Tour… coming soon!
