Had a meeting today with Frameworks Gallery and Custom Framing here in Saint Paul (Highland Park to be exact.) After some artsy banter we agreed that I would be showing some work there. Actually a lot of work. 5 framed pieces on the walls and about 6 (ish) non framed pieces in the bins. Very exciting stuff. I'm not on the card (yet,) but just imagine I am:
Being that this gallery / frame shop is located in the same strip mall as Blockbuster Video in Highland Park I wasn't expecting much of the other art on the walls, but to my surprise, everything was really good, even better than good, it was exciting work, edgy, all that. So needless to say I am honored to be in the presence of what I would consider other fun, forward thinking artists. This Saturday evening is the opening event for the latest show. The "featured artist" is Gregory Graham, but everyone else's work will be on display as well. The invite card is below. 
So the gist of all this is: GO BUY MY SHIT!!!! The time is now!
Mr. Olcott's FOODTEAM is playing tonight at the Kitty Kat Club. That's what's up. No green beer, no "kiss me I'm a dumbass" t shirts. Just some good people listening to good jams. Hopefully. (I'm sure I know some Irish people out there who own that shirt and are now offended. If this is true I apologize in advance, no hard feelings, but I still hate that shit.)
Oh, and it looks like Vigilante Justice II will be taking place sometime mid July. A ways off, but it'll be worth it. Trust me. We'll take care of ya.
'Till next time...
"Vigilante Justice" was a huge success. I know both me and Dom are extremely stoked on the whole thing and already have tossed the idea of a "Vigilante Justice II" around.
Here's a link to my photos from the evening. I should have taken more, but oh well. It is what it is. If you are on Facebook I am sure you can click around and find bunches more.

I helped put together this gig, well, I organized the art end of it. Anyway......should be a good time. And since its down the road from Grumpy's, maybe some of that fucked up juice that tastes dangerously JUST LIKE COFFEE will come into play later that evening. Who knows.
