Pregnant? Adopt Me

So, I'm posting fliers for 3 shows today and I accidentally rearranged
some other fliers and this message popped up.

One more for 30 Rooms

Last weekend's opening parties were a blast. I had a great time. I really want to thank all of the bands, djs and especially the people from Smart Tech A/V for making the Indiecon Stage and beer garden more fun than one should have in a chapel. I'm really looking forward to the closing night show with Musee Mecanique, Per Se, Silverhawk, Sean Flinn (of Invisible Rockets) and Prophetnoise. I also have a few other tricks up my sleeve for this show (weather permitting).

If things work out we may have Kaz of PWRFL Power joining us early on in the day for a free show in the courtyard which is a serene all ages space and also a beer garden for those of you over 21. I'd really also like to have the St. Frankie Lee crew back for some acoustic songs out there if they are up for it and then get the DJs spinning in the courtyard once the sun sets and while the bands are playing in the chapel.

I think it'll be magical. That would be my preferred way to spend Saturday evening. Does anyone want to help us move some music gear around early in the day or at the end of the night? There's some free beer in it for you.

30 Rooms at Milepost 5



So, this Friday we are kicking off the 30 Rooms exhibit at Milepost 5. This event will spread 30 artists (30 visions), 9 bands, and countless DJs, dancers, and performance groups over the two buildings that make up the Milepost 5 campus.

I'm in charge of music entertainment on the chapel mainstage (in the Studios building ... it's the brick one). I'm really thrilled to be a part of this event, though it has been tough for me to line up DJs ... I just don't have the connections yet. Anyhow, fortunately I am not in this alone and we've pulled through with a solid lineup all around.

The opening events are FREE this Friday and Saturday from 1pm to 11pm with live music starting at 6pm in the chapel. On Friday, we'll mostly have DJs, plus a live DJ duo called Jellyfish and Bubbles (they rock Transformers: The Movie like nobody's business). On Saturday (June 17th), we have Boy Eats Drum Machine, Y La Bamba, Celilo and St. Frankie Lee.

Then, next week, we'll celebrate the last night of the exhibit on Saturday, June 24th with Musee Mecanique, Per Se, Silverhawk, Invisible Rockets. It will be epic.

You really should do you self a favor and make it to all 3 nights (I mean it's free!!) and be sure to check out the art!

All activities are free and all ages are welcome!
