So this is Where I'll be on Friday Night...if you wanna come joing me

We hope you can join us this Friday, January 23 at 8pm sharp, for a night that will surely be memorable and enjoyable. Arturo will be showing some art and will be hosting the event. We have asked a couple great local talents to be part of the event: Jon Ward will be spinning from his AmAZING record collection of "78rpm recordings of folkloric and vernacular music from around the world" and will also be chatting a bit about the music itself. It will certainly be music that we do not hear anywhere and so this is an amazing chance to hear extremely rare tunes by a true aficionado. You can read up on Jon's music: http://excavatedshellac.wordpress.com/about/

There will also be live entertainment featuring the very talented Fumi Bankole,who will bring us her poetry and music. You can check out her work on myspace: http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewProfile&friendID=176355367

There will be beer and wine throughout the eve and videos in-between segments. With such an eclectic and talented mix, it is bound to be an amazing evening. Arturo will kick off the event with his radio program The Recent Rupture Radio Hour and will be performing as his altered ego (or is it?) Jose Lopez-Feliu.
