"She likes bright shin objects. You like to save money. You'll both love Palladium."
The event last night was really wonderful. Thank you if you went. If you didn't, I will try not to resent you too much. It'll be hard but you had better have a real good excuse.
Here are some pictures of our day yesterday leading up to the performance. Those pictures will come later. I think.
Rehearsing. Or watching Erick undress. Whatever.
Still life with Shaq and Laura.
The crazy art at the crazy artist space.
No seriously. Going to Burger King is a pre-performance ritual.
And El Pollo Loco, too, but at seperate times of the day.
El Erick Loco.

Event-ful
We have two very exciting events coming up and NEITHER of them are in a church basement! And we will be debuting a brand new piece. It is a great time to be alive.
March 29th at 8pm we will be performing at the SWAN Day event at 2659 W. Chicago (Chicago & Washtenaw). There will be all sorts of other poetry collaboration fun. It's BYOB and a fundraiser for women artists. We hear that we are more fun when we are drunk. It will also make you feel all warm inside for supporting a good cause.
Much Luv
March 4th at 9pm at North Park University's very own Java Haus for Freak Week. We will be performing with Bill Tucker's band and Rachel McHan will be displaying her wonderous artwork.

Legal Mumbo-Jumbo
In case of my death / “murder” my vote is worth SEVEN votes in the event of a Murakami Sound Machine election. Also, I want Joe G kicked out of MSM. He is the murderer!
