Wild Side West Show Review

It's crazy how my camera running out of batteries brings my blog to a screeching halt. And by "crazy" I mean "stupid". Anyway, I had a show that I told you all about and I wanted to tell you how it went. It went great! The opening band, Tik-Tik Fly, were rad. I already mentioned that their rhythm section is a tap dancer and their songs were lovely too. Unfortunately, I did not get a picture of them. Here's what I did get pictures of. Spoiler alert, they're mostly of me.

Me, rocking. You can tell it's for real because I'm a little blurry.

Still rocking. Look at that hand blur! Wow, I play fast like lightning.

Not a bad crowd for a Sunday afternoon.

The P's and Q's! If you get the chance to see them, do it!

The bartender won a tie from this humble abode in the raffle. Pretty suave, eh?

We had fun!

Doesn't it look like she's shooting something out of her finger? Like magic.

Show May 1st!

There's a rad show coming up that I want to tell you about. It's not just rad because I'm playing, it's rad because it's a fundraiser for my friends who are participating in the AIDS Lifecycle. I'm really impressed with people who set big goals (like traveling from San Francisco to Los Angeles on a bicycle) so, of course I want to help out. To help, I made a flyer. Making a flyer, while having its own set of difficulties, is not as hard as riding a bicycle from San Francisco to Los Angeles. Just for the record. The event starts at 3:00 pm and the music will start around 4:00 pm. I'm on second so you do the math.

Here's the flyer. Not bad, huh? Feel free to grab it and use it however you want.

The whole process for the flyer started with some felt.

I wanted to create a scene from the ride itself and have been a little obsessed with that whale recently, so why not throw that in too?

I was having trouble figuring out how the whole thing was going to stick together until I remembered that I have an adhesive specifically for getting fabric to stick to things.

Last time I opened up this adhesive, it had separated a bit so I wrote a note on top to remind me to mix it up.

After all my felt pieces had a good amount of adhesive on them, I left them to dry overnight.

Here's a picture of Jenny taking a picture to be turned into a flyer. It's all very meta.
