March 1st: An evening of yin. Or maybe yang...


... I can never remember. Anyway, usually Liar features a boy-girl mix, but you'll notice only women up there this time. These are not just photos I've been collecting on my hard drive, they're four of NYC's smartest, funniest writers and performers. Stop by and figure out which one of them is playing you for a fool. Story of your life?
