Weekend Update!

What's up Y'all? Buncha stuff going on this weekend so let me get to it real quick likes. 
  • I'm still booking artists for "Auas" (pronounced ah-whass) - Another Urban Art Sho, so far i have 1 definite, 2 possible artists showing for that event which will include a live band, a freestyle session and another collective art piece, so please if you want to show or if you know someone who should, holla at a brother lol!
  • I'm also booking things for our first non-free event :( but charging a tiny tiny cover is the only way we'll be able to afford all the cool stuff we want to do for this party. Its gonna be the Hip Hop Halloween Party (october 29) and it'll feature, amongst other things, a zombie dance off, a haunted house for your hands, goodie bags, face painting and possibly a polaroid station. If you can give us a hand with this event, we'd really appreciate the help, just let us know in what capacity you can pitch in...
  • I want to have a literary event soon and include some slam poetry, a short story reading, maybe even a table read of a play or screenplay. if this is up your alley, feel free to contact us.
  • Sunday! is the Atlantic Antic, a festival in brooklyn that has good food, free music, bar specials, artists and designers showcasing their stuff, so if you get a chance I'd recommend checking that out.
  • {EDIT} The pictures and recap from this weeks "Whirl of Colors" event will be up by monday (hopefully ;) ).
anything else? did i forget something?
Oh yeah, if you want an authorship so you can write stuff on the Mercury Soapbox Blog, just let me know and i'll shoot one over to you rikki-tik. (lol, komon thats the last time i'm gonna use that!)
Have a great weekend y'all and remember:
Express yourself freely and safely!

a moving art sho

Hey Guys!
It's my pleasure to present to you the next free art sho from your champion of free expression,
A Whirl Of Colors
a moving art sho

The essence of this art sho is "moving art", which really includes all art because it moves us, but we will be taking a look at some art forms that really involve movement. We'll be showcasing video works by Carlos Sebastion Guzman and painted peices by Hope Spithaler, but that's not all. For your enjoyment, we will also have the musical stylings of DJ Komon holding us down, an acrobat displaying his skills, and body painting stations so we can all becoming moving art. As always the sho is free and at Club Europa. Here are the deets:

Weekend Update

Hey guys, hows it going? Just want to get to a few points really quick before i have to run out for the weekend:
  • STOCKS SOARING ON FEDERAL PROMISE- Come on, you should know better. This country is in a terrible financial stat and the feds can't bail us out of anything. They certainly can't afford to keep printing more money.
  • NYPD REPORTS BLACKS AND LATINOS LEAD CRIME STATS - Apparently 88% of the people murdered in NYC so far this year have been black and hispanic. WTF? Why is that number so high? And the NYPD is saying "anecdotally... black and hispanic victims tend to be attacked by black and hispanic criminals." I dont know, sounds like something a racist white cop would say...
  • DUDE KICKS CAT - and for some reason, that's major news. Fuckin media is ridiculous sometimes.
  • WORLDS SMALLEST MAN VISITS NYC - and the pictures are awesome. Supposedly this guy is quite the ladies man.
  • MOVIES TO CONSIDER CHECKING OUT - Ghost town, Lakeview Terrace, Appaloosa. If you happen to catch one of these, write a review and we'll post it here :)
Peace y'all and have a great weekend.
Nell

DONT FORGET "A WHIRL OF COLORS" ART SHO SEPT. 30TH!!
