tonight (october 10th) dramatic instore performance by RUSSIAN ZARLAG (formerly russian tsarcasm). there will also be a movie, which will be NUTS. carlos (RZ/RT) is really unlike any performer or musician i’ve ever seen, really compelling. hopefully he’ll have some copies of his zine SLIME FREAKS.
this saturday (october 11th) from 6 to 8pm, there’s an art opening at the shoppe, starring local painter keenan cassidy. the show rips already and plus he’s 13 years old. yesterday both newspapers did articles on the lad- see the womag and the telegram. the womag article is better, even though they do say “hipster”, which is a word that doesn’t actually mean anything, and the phrase “makeshift octopus”, which means “a temporary stand-in that takes the role of an octopus”, which is preposterous.
YESSSSSSSS. Joe DeGeorge, wizard-rock superstar of the band “harry and the potters“, made us this awesome video ad!!!!!!!!!! featuring turtle, boy, the duck, pizza wizard, puc man, and the puffy paint nirvana shirt that marge madigan made! KILLIN IT!!!!!!
