December 5th is Mineral Point’s candlelight Gallery Night, “an evening when Mineral Point sparkles with the light of hundreds of luminaries” and we are super excited to be a part of it.
We have a pretty big show planned, as there will be a variety of readers presenting their work along with Mark Miskelly and I doing a few sets of music in-between. Also on display at the Green Lantern Studios, will be work that is in the current issue of The Capitola and work that has been in past Capitola issues.
Richmond Powers put together a beautiful poster for the event which I included below. Feel free to contact me if you would like to have the Hi-Res version. I would be glad to send it your way.
Hope you can come and check it all out! We’d love to meet you and say hello.
I was inspired to make another one of these windows into my world sooner rather than later. This one concentrates on finishing one of the pieces I have been working on, an introduction to “Patrick” (and what he’s been busy with) and the importance of clean drinking water.
So I cooked up another little podcast from my lair. As some of you know, I have been sick for the past 2 weeks but Im feeling LOTS better thanks to modern medicine and its terrifying – I MEANHELPFUL – steroids. I’m nervous about going off of them because it has proven dicey for me in the past. But I’ll cross that bridge when I get to it. Or jump off it, depending on how the withdrawals hit me.
Like my other podcasts, this one is not exciting. I promise you that, but it does offer a peephole into my nerdy and incredibly exotic world of cutting up moldy paper and writing all over everything with different colored sharpie markers. I often like to use a different color for each tune Im trying to write lyrics for and I’m sure that isn’t special needs at all. But I do. I do this in my journal too. It makes the internal dialogue more interesting or palatable, I guess. A good while back I bought the 24 color sharpie marker set and have never looked back with an ounce of regret since. And these juicy tidbits are not included in the podcast by the way. I offer it here only. And over at Myspace. And Facebook.
Enjoy!
PS: I also talk about the circus freak piece I am doing in the “presentation”, and dug this pic up to offer a little more clarification of when I was first laying it out. After assembling all of my mutant circus freaks, I let them out of their plastic bag briefly to do a dry run of the auditions I have planned for them within this piece.
