Live Pez Puppet Event
If Ann Haubrich says this event will be cool, then so shall it be:
Hello Friends and Neighbor
If you want to have some fun and can get out this Thursday evening, consider heading over to Joe's Cafe (Bill Christman’s studios) at 6014 Kingsbury (the corner of Kingsbury and Des Peres, just north of Forest Park) to witness a rare and wacky performance presented by my rare and wacky pal, Steve White, who is a folk artist currently living in New Mexico. (Steve made is home in St. Louis for several years, cooking at the Sunshine Inn and making a living as a darn good massage therapist. Since leaving St. Lou, Steve has made a name for himself with his artwork, even apprenticing with the late great Howard Finster.)
Steve's latest creations are enhanced pez dispensers-- and he's gone so far as to produce pez puppet shows, which are irreverent and outrageous and it seems, right on target... if you like what you see of the pez puppets (elvis, george bush, our lady of guadalupe.... the list goes on....) you'll be able to take one or more pez puppets home with you for a nominal price. After all, Steve needs gas money. Check out his website at www.thefolkfarm.com.
Joe’s Café will be the perfect intimate setting for a pez puppet show.
It all happens this Thursday evening, October 12 at 8:30 pm at Joe's Café.
$5.00 at the door gains you admission to the joint, for the puppet show and music, after that, by the Landes-Martin Trio and a bonfire in the found sculpture garden.
Be there or be square.
Take care. Hope fall is being good to you.

p.s. and on Friday night, do yourself a favor and get over to Hoobellatoo's Blind Cat Black Listening Party and Art Invitational at Mad Art. After all, it is Friday the 13th. www.hoobellatoo.org.
St. Louis is jampacked with groovy and gratifying things to soak up.
