Celebrate Not Afraid's Birthday at the Downtown Art Walk - Page 5

Not Afraid · 04-03-2009, 08:19 PM

Breaking News (and not good news

)

I got a call from the Edison today. It seems that the manager has decided to cancel Lucent indefinitely and "mix things up a bit". However, they don't have anything booked for that night yet, but they said it would probably be music. They said there would be no cover charge and they would offer is a free round of drinks.

After thinking about it for a bit, it seemed a bit ridiculous for us (meaning Chris and I) to pay the $250 reservation fee for a great table to see something that no one even knows what it is. I'm a bit disturbed that they are doing this a whopping 5 days before but that's what they are doing. It's a rel drag we won't be seeing LD but I suppose we can still go to the Edison. It's just that the bloom is off - especially for something on a school night.

So, at the moment, things are up on the air and maybe we just won't do anything.

I did put in a message to LD to find out if they are performing somewhere else. However, it seems that they don't even know about the change yet. It makes me wonder what the real story is.

Can we go to Paris for the evening then?

CoasterMatt · 04-03-2009, 09:20 PM

Is Gogol Bordello playing that night anywhere?

Not Afraid · 04-03-2009, 09:31 PM

y'all are teasing me!

Whaaaaa!

OK, I'm rethinking things a bit but nothing definitive.

Here's my thoughts: Thursday, my actual birthday, is the Downtown Art Walk. The Baily Gallery at Pussy and Pooch are having a show with a few of my favorite artists (Walt Hall, Kelly Thompson and Susan Webber). I'm planning on going. Also, the Koji Korean BBQ Truck will be parked in front of the store. In addition, they will be showing the short films of Squeeky McGee who is a cat. Squeeky will also be in attendence. It is going to be a a great art walk and The Hive Gallery show looks promising too (and it's always a good time).

So, thoughts? It's a different night - and still a week night but it will be fun. Plus, you can see some wonderful (and affordable) art and meet some of the artists we've been collecting.

Yeah, a good idea. Sigh, but I'm not available, personally. Passover. Sorry.

Waaaaa, this whole thing makes me sad. Not as sad as Not Afraid.

Well, at least, my death-by-fun will start later and hopefully last longer. We're not actually entering the Big Wheel Race either, so I should be injury-free and one less drunkennight/non-sleeper when I get to Yosemite.

So there's that.

There should be a rule that Passover and Easter don't conflict with my BD. ISM, can't you just have some family drama so the whole thing gets canceled?
