This Saturday marks the ninth anniversary of 9/11. So from morning to midnight, CNN will be a maudlin Ferris wheel while Fox News stokes the shards of hurt and fury that still float in your system like kidney stones. The networks will probably air footage of the towers falling repeatedly, which, not to get too Freudian, will be a real boner killer. Still, you’ll have to find your inner strength to attend a bacchanal of transgressive eroticism, because Saturday is also the night of the Fetish Apocalypse, the latest in the Fetish Factory’s Alter Ego series of monthly goth-glam throwdowns. So strap on the slickest, tightest, blackest outfit you own, and get kinky.

Sat., Sept. 11, 10 p.m., 2010
