NVP at Pure Kona & Other Random Events

So, they had an article in the Daily Messenger today about the Blue Dahlia closing down - I posted it below (see next - or rather previous - post) if you’re s interested …

It’s pretty decent … with an ending & pic including Ayden … reporter-boy kind of stole my whole drive-thru-society line without credit … maybe … maybe he already thought so himself and I just echoed it back to him … you never know. Overall, it was good.

So, what’s left? Well, this week at Pure Kona – there’s the band NPV – or was it NVP - which I will, unfortunately, be unable to see because my daughter’s final Orff Concert is the same night.

(I do hope to get to next week’s Kona for the 14th Anniversary! WooHoo … can you dig it? Yeah I’ve been working in a lawyer’s office all day, so I’m a little loopy … anyway – that’s featuring both Dream Engine & BADEA … now you gotta check that one out, right? Right.)

So Thursday, June 7th is the Band NPV or NVP &
Thursday, June 14th is Dream Engine & BADEA & the 14th Anniversary of Pure Kona

(And Friday, June 15th is MY 33rd Birthday!
& 33 is such an awesome number it’s bound to be a absolutely fabulous year!)

Anyway … Here’s the events I’m interested in for this coming up week … don’t think I’ll make them all … But these are the ones that caught my eye …

More Info: What Ryan (you know – the guy) has to say about Blackbook sessions:

Blackbook sessions have been very important, in many artists' lives. Heavily rooted in graffiti culture, blackbook sessions help motivate progression in style and skill, as well as create a bond amongst fellow writers. So when a friend asked if I wanted to do anything, at a coffee house, this was the first thing that came to mind. Something based on the foundation of blackbook sessions, but open to any style and medium. If someone wants to come down and spit out 20 postal stickers --go with it. If someone wants to draw a donkey with tits, shooting a shotgun on cardboard --go with it. As long as you come down with an open mind, respect for everyone, and carry a positive attitude, you are welcome. The first session is going to be Friday March 16th (2007) 8pm-11pm, at Boulder Coffee...... http://www.bouldercoffeeco.com/ ...... The Slumdays DJ's (sundays@the bug jar) will be providing music. At the end of the night, anyone who wants to submit work will have it photographed and posted on flickr.com. the real goal for the night, is to form a solid collection of work on this site. in turn, promoting a collective of different local artwork to the cyber world. If this goes over well, we might be able to do it bi-weekly. I would like to ask that whatever establishment allows this event, should be respected. Just to insure future sessions, please respect the venue. Please read Blogs for more info.
