Wicked Clown Love

As mentioned in a previous post I was fortunate enough to design  the sets for Neal Medlyn’s latest opus Wicked Clown Love, What I didn’t mention is that this officially means that I also collaborated with one of my all time favorite visual artists, Larry Krone who not only designed the costumes but is also IN the show.  I am equally honored that the true juggalo family blogged about the event and seem as excited as I am about the show.  This is just ONE of the many costumes Larry made for the show. Prepare to lose your minds people.

Confused?

                            I am thrilled to have worked with Neal Medlyn on his latest show.

Esme Barrera

Esme Barrera was murdered in the early morning hours of New Years Day. She was a counselor at Austin’s Rock Camp for Girls, loved music and had a huge amount of devoted friends. I didn’t know her personally but was brought to tears by the many loving descriptions of her and wanted to let people know that her family has set up a blog to help them with funeral expenses if you would like to contribute. I can not imagine what they are going through. This is just absolutely heartbreaking. UPDATE

Okay Maryland Suburbs I still love you

Slam Dunk

Seeing Fugazi was life changing for me. The bleak landscape I was trodding through (BF- before fugazi) suddenly turned into color, and dare I say it, they made me feel hopeful.  Guy Picciotto is hands down the best front man since Freddie Mercury and when I watched him perform it always felt like destiny brought him to that particular stage on that particular night. He always struck me as a character from a twisted fairytale more than just some guy who happened into a band..not so much larger than life, more like a person who was born to be onstage. And Ian MacKaye is not only a great songwriter but also funny as shit. The guy has a  kind of impossible charm and also the ability to say what he means so precisely in one one phrase . It can’t be easy to be the canvas every American punk boy projects himself onto. Suffice it to say I love this band. They are putting up an archive of all their concerts soon. Thank god for punk rock archivists!!!

Great Project

It’s been a year and a half since the legendary Crown Heights gay bar Starlite Lounge closed it’s doors, but the former owners—and two young documentarians—are doing all they can to make sure those doors don’t stay closed for good.
