In the avalanche of year-in-reviews, Salon Saloon's promises to be among the most witty, dynamic and alcohol-laden. The monthly cultural roundtable hosted by arts writer and gadfly-about-town Andy Sturdevant will bring back favorite guests from the past year, including scribe and "Rockstar Storyteller" Rob Callahan, "This American Life's" Adrianne Mathiowetz, and "sidewalk philosopher" and geography buff Bill Lindeke, to present its "Heavy 100" list. Expect intellectual ruminations on everything from Occupy Wall Street and the year's most memorable political gaffes, to Rebecca Black and the Ted "Homeless Guy With the Voice" Williams saga, all backed by Salon Saloon's trusty backup band.
