zag! i neglected to mention that there’s a real chrysanthemum of a show tonight (thursday the 16th) at HBML- lilah ringler and tumblecat poof poofy poof, performing new works as a duo. or rather, as two dueling singles, battling for (and as such defining (and as such creating)) turf. they chose a topic weeks months ago, both have been working on writings and soundings on this topic, tonight they meet and both go at it. it’s at 7′oclock, and space is limited but we’ll cram. with special guest. don’t sleep like i almost did!
this friday at HBML, there’s an art opening showcasing a new collaborative quilt that i (jacob berendes) made with my mother (anna louise berendes). we went halvsies on some choice psychedelic fabric from esther’s fashions and each made half a quilt with it without comparing notes or letting the other person see. we’re sewing them together this afternoon, but the opening at the store is, like i said, friday. from 6 to 8, with beverages.
esther’s fashions is on pleasant st, just a few blocks from the store (towards downtown). it’s an african clothing store that sells small bolts of really awesome, sometimes garish, sometimes beautiful, fabric. you have to buy the whole bolt (which is like 6 yards) but it’s totally worth it. they also sell really really pointy men’s shoes, made of a variety of leathers including ostrich and alligator.
now that it’s stupid hot i’ve set the store hours back a spell to accommodate a weekday siesta. so now it’s
wednesday 4:30pm - 8:00pm
thursday 4:30pm - 8:00pm
friday 4:30pm - 8:00pm
saturday
is still 2pm - 5pm for some reason
anyway, there it is, don’t get all boggled.
sam works at the store every friday. this action figure isn’t for sale, but his new comic book “pizza wizard” is, so swing on by!
