December events featuring moi
Hi everyone! Just a quick note on some upcoming events for me in the Providence area:
Opening this Saturday December 3rd at Fuller's Speed Shop, I'll be showing some huge stuffed animals I made (borderline furniture) and then selling a bunch of regular-sized guys, including a new little guy that I hope to have in the Fujichia storefront next Tuesday. The Speed Shop is a gallery space in Olneyville in the same building as the old Mothers News atelier, behind where the Price Rite used to be and next to the river, an extremely cool zone. The opening is at a shocking 8am - 2pm, but you don't have to be there for the whole thing, it's not like it's a movie. Peter Fuller will be there serving up magnificent espresso drinks, Italian sodas, and hot chocolates. My show will be up all month (Saturdays and Sundays, 8am-2pm) and closing on Christmas morn! I will be present for the opening and then again a little bit at random throughout the month. Dave Fisher will probably be there, at the opening and most likely on Christmas too, he's there a lot. If you're in Providence or environs and need directions to the Speed Shop go ahead and email me.
I'm also going to be slinging my wares at the holiday sale at the good old Dirt Palace, that's Sunday December 18th from noon to 6. The Dirt Palace is at 14 Olneyville Square, you can't miss it. I don't know who all else is going to be there but I know there's going to be 2 floors of vendors and I just got confirmation that Nik Perry will be tabling (God willing). As for Dave Fisher and coffee I gotta give a maybe. DF will probably do a walkthrough at some point but I doubt he’ll be there selling his cyberpunk dvds and geometric etchings. The coffee is a big question mark— the last holiday sale there was some, it was dusty in a way that was nostalgic. But maybe that was for vendors only? I remember putting a little amaretto in mine at the end of the day and that was definitely off limits to the gen pop. If you need good coffee you might want to pre-load for this.
Lastly (for now) I'm going to be selling some toys as part of Ricky Rainbowbeard's show about Toys, on December 17th at as220. The Rainbow Beard show is like a live kids show, I'm thinking that the segment of my readership that might be interested in this AND can go to this PROBABLY knows about this already but anyway it's from noon to 4 and this IS like a movie, you have to get there BEFORE noon. I was on Ricky's show once a few years back, I talked a little then did a short low-volume noise set with just a speaker and a 9 volt battery and some actual garbage and got some deep nods from an audience of mostly 7 year olds and their parents. This time around I'm just tabling my wares, but it looks like the effervescent duo of Reba Mitchell and Joe DeGeorge will be in the show proper. Dave Fisher is a definite no on this, coffee is possible but unlikely, amaretto definitely no.
OK, hopefully I get to see some of you soon!
