Art Loteria de Amor
With the advent of a new game show night, H Street's Palace of Wonders is continuing to do what it does best -- serve up fun and games with a side of burlesque. The game, inspired by the Mexican version of bingo, is also spotlighting area artists; visitors won't be playing with those familiar numbered disks but, rather, crafty little creations by locals, including artists Tim Tate and Dana Ellyn and arts advocate Philippa Hughes of the Pinkline Project. And to spice things up, before the game and between rounds, there will be plenty of entertainment courtesy of Palace favorites, including one of the evening's co-hosts, Shortstaxx, and Malibu, Mistress of Fire. As for the "amor" in the game title, there's also a bit of a dating show aspect to the evening. Prizes include a date with another audience member, although if you're already paired off, never fear: There are prizes for non-singletons as well.
Wednesday. Doors open at 6 p.m.; game show starts at 9 p.m. Wednesday. Palace of Wonders, 1210 H St. NE. http:/
