Description 
This Saturday, June 11, at the House of Yes... Thunder Gumbo episode XII: Gotham Under-Covered I knew the dame was trouble from the minute she walked into my office. Inhaling a faint hint of cheap chinese opium from her neckline I told her I wasn't accepting new clients. These days all you get is vengeful wives and lonesome outcasts trying to track down a long lost brother. It was time to get out of the business and I knew it. "McNally," she said. "Together we're gonna tear the sheets of this rathole we call Gotham." "Oh yeah," I challenged, "how's that?" I would've kicked her to the curb right then and there, but then I realized there was some charm, some sweet smoky presence to her voice....something familiar. "There's a secret meeting between all of the kingpins of Gotham, the insensitive billionaire's and the corrupt politicians. I hope you're not shy or squeamish, because to blend in you'll have to be scantily dressed," she told me. And then I realized she wasn't who I thought she was........... This Saturday come for a gathering of scheming & sexy Gotham power brokers. Dress as a comic book character, femme-fatale, hard boiled gumshoe, or just in your undies. Create an original superpower like a gigantic eyebrow that can harness the power of lightning or a strong headbutt that makes people act like chickens.
