THIS IS WHERE YOU SHOULD BE ON FRIDAY NIGHT (IF YOU LIVE IN KC)

LAST CALL: THIS FRIDAY, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD
... is when we are hosting STEP INTO THE ARENA (Tag Team Live Art & Tickle Party)! This will be THE art jam to go to. Really. Come. You won't regret it. You can get your dance on. And your art on. So what is an art jam you ask?

Well, sit here on my lap while I tell you a little story. You see, in this world... in this world there are six artists (at least). And this friday, these six artists (aka Josh Cotter, Lori Raye Erickson, GEAR, Loo Ruzich, Mike Springet and Hector Casanova) will come together and clash paintbrushes, in a mad, dizzying display of wits, trying to outdo each other while making pretty pictures for your delectation. Yes, before our very own eyes, these six artists are gonna make some funky funky art. Picture it, little one: two walls, three artists a piece, just making beautiful beautiful art right in front of your very eyes...

What's that? What about your ears, I hear you ask? And your butt?

Worry not! These things have been taken into account. For there will also be Amy Farrand to do her one-woman band act. And DJ AJ2 and Beatbroker will make sure you keep on shaking that ass.

Like I said, it's all taken care of. ll you have to do is show up...

Where? The Green Door Gallery. In the West Bottoms. 1229 1/2 Union Ave, secind story of the Old Post Office. Go to thegreendoorgallery.com for more details. Yes, you may bring your mom. And your kids too. Just keep them away from the wine.
