Seattle International Cabaret Festival, Report the Second

Dang! What a night.

Made it to Pensione Nichols just in time for a wonderfully messed up short film by Vinsantos. All I can say: keep a close eye on your children.

Next up was a round of song, profanity and inserting-things-into-one's-nose curtesy of Shmootzi the Clod. Best known for his work with the Circus Contraption band any performer who can feature a cover of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" and a drug-addled stroll down memory lane is alright by me.

Shootzi was followed by Huxley Vertical Cabaret Nouveau. Band leader Seth Bedford performed at Steamcon and I was tickled to see him backed by the full band with violin, viola, piano and bass. They were sweet, fun and funny... which is saying something considering the number of songs they performed about murder and mayhem. Seth's Steamcon partner, Veronique Chevalier, even joined in for a happy birthday ditty. I loved it all but I have to give them extra points for covering my favorite Suzanne Vega song: "Blood Makes Noise". Now I just have to convince them to record it...

After that show Harley (from Toy-Box Trio) accompanied me on a brisk walk over to the Triple Door for the next show.

Scarlet Room proved, once again, that they may be Seattle's best kept secret. They blew the doors off the place and just seem to get tighter each time I see them. If you haven't caught them yet: do so ASAP! I can't wait to hear the new album they've got in the works.

Portland OR's Vagabond Opera are consummate entertainers. They grab your attention from the minute they take the stage and woo you for the rest of the evening. I don't know how you can watch them and not have a good time. They exude such constant, positive energy I get winded just watching them.

The addition of the Harlequin Hipsters to Vagabond Opera's stage show was a nice treat.

The Festival Official CD, The Sepiachord Companion, was on sale at each event... and can now be purchased at the Can Can (the fest's home base).

I have to declare any night where I end up with both a WAX MOUSTACHE and a tin of MOUSTACHE WAX to be a roaring success!

There's been a lot of discord in the online art journal community lately. I've been censored recently by another member. It sucks. I'm tired of it and so I'm not sure what I'm going to do, but life is too short to spend it angry at the stupidity of others and their misdeeds.

I first drew the image on the right, masked it out and used spray inks on the page.

The bombs were a stencil I cut of thick cardstock. I used liquatex black lava medium to make the image- scraped through the stencil to create the shape. I let them dry and then pained the body with silver metallic ink.

The face is done in the same technique as the sheep was- graphite with acrylic paint. The padlock was painting the same manner then given a thin coat of the metallic ink. The "blood" around the wounds is watered liquid acrylic.

The spatter was done in the same watered acrylic paint the liner brush was loaded up and tapped on another brush to spatter. To create a similar but less linear spatter use a wider brush

I just wanted to share this with y'all because as journalers, most of you are also writers.


"Recording the details of our lives is a stance against bombs with their mass ability to kill, against too much speed and efficiency. A writer must say yes to life, to all of life: the water glasses, the Kemp's half-and half, the ketchup on the counter. It is not a writer's task to say, 'It is dumb to live in a small town or to eat in a cafe when you can eat macrobiotic at home.' Our task is to say a holy yes to the real things of our life as they exist-the real truth of who we are: several pounds overweight, the gray, cold street outside, the Christmas tinsel in the showcase, the Jewish writer in the orange booth cross from her blond friend who has black children. We must become writers who accept things as they are, come to love the details, and step forward with a yes on our lips so there can be no more noes in the world, noes that invalidate life and stop these details from coming."
-Natalie Goldberg

long time no scan! this book is for my drawing class. i may be majoring in fibre arts but drawing + knowledge is my favourite class. in homage to it being cancelled this week [prof's got the flu], i've decided to share what i've got thus far. i scanned so hard the lid popped off [no joke!]

i really like working in a larger format [9x12 i think?] - i've modified the pages more or less by adding in, taping in tabs and flaps and foldout pages. a pop-up book would be OWESOME and i think i'll work on that next.

Quite despondent. My "alt" tags work fine on my system, but don't seem to do their happy pop-up magic on LJ. Not about to take the time to figure out why.

Also, a couple of folks are using Twittinesis instead of LoudTwitter. Is it working OK?
