Getting snubbed by the Emmys in memoriam segment isn’t the ultimate humiliation. The ultimate humiliation is all the articles pointing out that you got snubbed immediately thereafter.

The In Memoriam segment exluded Chuck Norris and "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" actor Nicholas Brendon, among other stars.

“Starship Troopers” actor Patrick Muldoon, “The Gong Show” panelist Jaye P. Morgan, “The Ring” actress Daveigh Chase and “30 Rock” performer Grizz Chapman were also not included.

This Sunday, September 20 @ 6pm…

Old Arabi Lighthouse is excited to announce the return of Joshua the Bock to the purple sparkle floor. Joshua's talent is supernatural, his singing and playing as nuanced as it is fluid and infectious. Joshua writes songs of heartache and the universal difficulties of relationships, but always with a sense of humor. He's also one of the most engaging performers we've seen, his between song banter always funny and charming. In these difficult times, it's a good idea to surrender your soul to the music every now and then, just to stay sane. Let Joshua the Bock doctor your poor battered soul back into the world of the living.

Joshua will play a set at 6, followed by open mic at 7. Each participant will get up to 15 minutes of undiluted fame.

All ages/no cover.

All of the events at the Lighthouse are free of charge, but while you are here, please consider making a small purchase to help support the venue so that we may continue to bring you free quality programming. And thanks as always for supporting local businesses!
