Things to do after Friday
Tight Pants Syndrome, my favorite Bert Dax Xmas compilation band, will be playing at The Lot on Saturday, with many other excellent musicians, including "Baby Blues" winner, Marquise Knox. "Typewriter" Tim Jordan reports that he will be doing some sort of performance art thing between 4 p.m. and sundown. And on Sunday, Hoobellatoo (led by 52nd City contributor Chris King) will be doing an "experiential auction" at the Royale (3132 South Kingshighway). Entry is $10, which goes towards your first big on perhaps one of the following: a private lunch with Joe Edwards; a golf game with Virvus Jones; a private tour of "forlorn spots" with artist Bill Christman, followed by a trip to Crown Candy Kitchen; a private performance art piece for you & a guest, by Jason Wallace Triefenbach, at his studio; ice cream with Fire Chief Sherman George; an hour massage with St. Louis Rams massage therapist Mike Whalen; a mentoring session on how to compose and record contemporary gospel music by local hip-hop gospel star Praiz' in his home studio; and lots more. That is always what folks tack at the end of a list on a press release, but in this case, that's true; there's a LOT more. My fingers would go numb if I tried to type it all ... the full list is at www.hoobellatoo.org, should you want to take a peek. All the proceed go to produce a CD called "Blind Cat Black," a scored poem by Turkish poet, Ece Ayhan.
