A picture of One Night Stand, the band in Mina that the Flats shared a bill with.
I've been apprised of a couple of events. One is an art opening at Fool's Foundation this saturday, with Jay Howell and "crack baby" among others.
Also, the opening of the Bike Kitchen is still a ways away, but it seems like a really cool thing. Here's a press release from the website:
Community based bicycle shop opens in Sacramento.The Sacramento Bicycle Kitchen and its all-volunteer staff invites the public to tour the shop facility, learn how to get involved, listen to live music and enjoy healthy snacks. The Sacramento Bicycle Kitchen is a non-profit, community-centered organization focused on teaching bicycle safety, bicycle maintenance and repair, and promoting bicycle culture. Our aim is to empower the community and provide very low-cost alternative transportation for individualsthroughout Sacramento.Who: Sacramento Bicycle KitchenWhat: Grand Opening CelebrationWhen: Saturday, June 24th, 2006 from 12:00 PM to 7:00 PMWhere: Sacramento Bicycle Kitchen / Brickhouse Art gallery 2837 36th Street, Suite #1 Sacramento, CA 95817As Sacramento's only non-profit volunteer bicycle shop, the Sacramento Bicycle Kitchen fills a niche by providing bicycle safety education (through Safer Cycling Sacramento), drop-in bicycle repair and maintenance, and an open atmosphere that nourishes Sacramento's growing bicycle culture. We are a group of cyclists who are enthusiastic and passionate about giving backand improving Sacramento, one bicycle at a time.With gasoline prices on the rise and air quality on the decline, the bicycle remains one of the most efficient and environmentally-friendly transportation choices. Community members may use the tools and expertise of the Sacramento Bicycle Kitchen (SBK) to affordably repair their own bikes, or build-a-bike from one of the many donated frames and parts available.
Membership is encouraged and the public can join on a month-to-month basis or pay a nominal annual membership fee; all proceeds go towards maintaining the shop. All SBK members will have the opportunity to build-a-bike of their choosing and learn how to keep their bicycle running smoothly year-round.A shop schedule including hours of operation, classes, and special events can be found at the SBK's website: www.sacbikekitchen.org . The website also includesphotos, and a forum where members and the public can discuss bicycle repair, commuting by bike, and local bicycle-related events.
I like the looks of this, thanks.

no no no, "crack baby" has nothing to do with saturday's show. jay is showing w/ 3 photographers who are part of the Hamburger Eyes magazine and 2 other painter/illustrator types - garin moore and judd hertzler. H.E. is a ruling quarterly photography mag/book based out of SF that has tons a great photographers from around the world contribute their wares, they print 5000 of them and they're usually gone in a few weeks. there have been some big features on them this year in Giant Robot, Flaunt - and ray potes & crew contribute heavily to Vice. these dudes show all over the US, i'm stoked they got this together in sacramento. the pieces are collaborations between photographer & painter - the show is mostly going to be repeated in SF and maybe a few other cities.
ReplyDeleteOh, I see, I just mentioned it cuz I know who that guy is and the name jumped out at me.

Does anyone else remember the free pink bikes that was tried at the Loft? Several pink bikes with the hope that they'd get used and left unlocked in the public so someone else could use them.
ReplyDeleteI didn't remember the pink bikes at the loft! This was done in Europe by the Provos (Or was it the Situationalists?) And I think the Diggers (USA) in the 60s. The hippie-anarchist-provo in mean what's cool ideas like that to work.
