It happens at the Fez Ballroom (316 sw 11th) THIS THURSDAY August 21st, and only costs 7 bucks.<br /><br />This, of course, being many girls nude/semi nude onstage painted white, with video/images/etc projected onto them from 5 or so sources while my musical outfit, Sad Music for Happy Humans, makes thick mindfuck music that builds to utilizing dubstep/dnb/electro/live sampled drum beats. Since this is happening<br /><br />Afterwards will be some sweet IDM/breakbeat music by the esteemed DJ Tan't, and longtime Portland music makers Ryze + Fall and DJ Harp will be giving us all some great LIVE Drum and Bass and Dubstep to dance the night away with.<br /><br />I do hope you'll all attend, there is a great buzz going on about this show and I think it's going to end up being fabulous!

Burnside)<br />Portland, OR<br /><br />Aug. 1st, 2008<br />3-7pm Preview Show (no sales)<br />7pm-10pm Sale! (cash only)<br /><br />3pm-9pm Silent Auction<br />"Hidden Gems" Show (come see what's left) Aug. 3rd, 6-8pm<br /><br />On Aug. 1st, 2008, the follow-up show to last year's overwhelmingly successful "Thirty!" show will take place in central Portland. Appropriately named, "Thirty-one!", this one-night only show will feature thirty-one artists who have created thirty-one paintings in thirty-one days. Each of the 961 paintings will be unveiled and for sale for $31 each, alongside live music, a silent auction and, most likely, another crowd of eager art lovers.<br /><br />The intention for this show is to connect groups of Portland artists, inspire new bodies of work, showcase emerging talent, provide affordable<br />artwork for the community, and raise money for arts organizations. Based on the time line, artists are encouraged to explore new territory, experiment, loosen up and have fun!<br /><br />The proceeds from this art extravaganza will be donated to Artists for the Arts, whose mission is to ensure that the arts remain an integral part of education for children in<br /><br />Portland Metro-area schools. AFTA raises funding and awareness through the collaborative efforts of artists, businesses, educators, organizations and the community.<br /><br />Please visit <a href="http://www.thirtyshows.blogspot.com">http://www.thirtyshows.blogspot.com</a> for complete show information and artists' profiles.<br /><br />Thank you very much for your time and consideration in supporting this event. urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:pdx_artists:67518 State Parks 2008-07-10T20:47:37Z 2008-07-10T20:47:37Z Anyway,<br />Sydney's at NW 15th and Thurman serves a good cup, and they let me hang my paintings there this month.
