forever and never at ffdg | sieben/swope collab show
Wednesday, May 14th, 2008Forever and Never
An ongoing collaborative print project between Michael Sieben and Nat Swope exhibiting a series of prints and a good chance to see some excessively amazing art at coincidentally some amazingly inexpensive prices; under a hundred bones. I missed the open, but the show still goes on and for that matter, the dream still remains the same; sure to rank among my favorites. Head over to fecal face for the real lodown. The video below, directed by Mike Aho, is mesmerizing. The vid on the right is from the pdx opening.
rockband4charity at 12 galaxies
Sunday, May 11th, 2008Last night was the rockband4charity event at 12 Galaxies. It was a battle of the bands to benefit Variety-The Children’s Charity of Northern California that has been working with special needs children throughout Northern California since 1947. It drew a good crowd. lots of nice outfits. some glitter jackets, headbands, and some, hosted by Brett Erlich. The event started out with a mano ay mano drum competition (to Metallica’s Enter Sandman), then with the same battle between two guitarists. After that, five bands competed in the battle of the bands, with the ‘all-woman’ band Hot Tranny Mess taking the crowd by storm and beating the pant(ies) off the competition. the only thing missing from this event were robots to mix me drinks.
