So I got a call at work, last month. It was one of my musician friends, "Dude, DUDE. I need a favor. You've got to play a show with us."
I am already in, even though I have no idea what it will be. He always has these crazy ideas, but he's so excited about them, that it becomes infectious. So I ask what he has in mind, this time.
"We just got back from the laundromat. That place has INCREDIBLE acoustics, so we decided that we need to do a show there!"
Now, I'm definitely IN. This sounds absolutely ridiculous, but it would certainly be a great story to tell, after the fact.
He said that he was going to approach some diverse people and put together an eclectic mix of acts, doing short 15-minute spin cycle sets.
Apparently, other people also found his enthusiasm to be infectious, because here is what he has put together for this Sunday's guerrilla-style art-takeover of a downtown laundromat.
6:30-Morgan (lucky sperms - acoustic songs in French)
6:45-Paul the poet
7:00-Beck! da 12 yr old ORIGAMI GOD!
7:15-Andrew and his accordian (Haunted Cologne)
7:30-Rocky (aka-Chef DUNG) 15 min meal tutorial
7:45-Shawnte (my slot)
8:00-Jane Hilton rapes the fiddle (I think this must be Jane? http://waywardfiddler.com)
8:15-Aaron Johnson just fux it up
8:30-Kevin Patterson might get hurt spinning plates
8:45-Dogo Barry Graham (the_urban_monk )
9:00-Ben (Porches)
9:15-Mr. Frip wears his sunglasses at night
9:30-Quarter Inch Crown
9:45-Rahiem the human beatbox
The Washhouse
Southeast corner of 7th St. & Portland (1 street north of Roosevelt)
