2 to look forward to
Two events I'm looking forward to this week and I think are worth checking out...
Wednesday: Silver Spurs at the Tivoli / 5:15 pm
Kick Ass Award recipient Doug Whyte’s latest documentary follows the lives of the mentally ill and developmentally disabled residents of a Western-themed facility located in South St. Louis. The work in progress will be at this week's International Film Festival. See more about Whyte's films at Full Mind Films.
Wednesday, Thursday & Friday: Mad Art Radio Hour / 7:00pm
Sure, local painter, musician, and bartender Jaime Gartelos can be a handful at times. But you can’t argue—the guy’s got talent. The driving force behind the amazing Space Rock Opera at Mad Art in 2004, Gartelos now turns his attention to the old time radio plays of yesteryear presenting Johnny O’Casey (about a Martian hunter) and I Love Sylvia (a sitcom about the cheerful life of Sylvia Plath and Ted Hughes). The band Swing Set will perform musical interludes. Three performances this week (Wed, Thr, Fri) with Friday’s being recorded for broadcasting on KDHX. $5 at the door with cash bar. More details on the Mad Art site.
