you can't do that on comedy tour

This is way late, but we posted photos (and a link to some video) from the "You Can't Do That on Comedy Tour" that came to Thanky. Big thanks to Andrew Jeffrey Wright, Frankie Martin, Brian Blomerth and more who brought good laughs to our little gallery. And, then there was night-swimming!

Lucky Dragons performance

In July, I went to see Lucky Dragons, the musical project of Sarah Anderson and Luke Fischbeck whose exhibit at Thanky just closed. Their exhibit consisted of drawings done under the name of their other project, Sumi Ink Club. Lucky Dragons performed at a wonderful, positive small-town festival called "What the Heck Fest" in Anacortes, Washington organized by good people (including Geneviève Castrée who exhibited at Thanky in April). Lucky Dragons' sets involve a lot of audience participation to create swirling electronic music that brings everyone together.

Mark Lord (aka C.F.) performance at Thanky

Mark Lord (aka C.F.) makes music.

On July 1st, Thanky hosted a show with Mark Lord (aka C.F.), Morgan Egg, Across and Narhwalz. Mark Lord is C.F.'s new solo project. C.F. is an accomplished musician and visual artist. On the sonic front, he has self-released a number of cassettes and cd-rs under the moniker Kites. Night People and Load also have released his recordings. He is also currently collaborating with Sakiko Mori in a duo called Daily Life.  On the visual front, C.F. has shown his art at the New Image Art Gallery, the Lucerne Art Museum, Giant Robot, Mountainfold Gallery, and the Hope Gallery (and he had a piece or two in a group show at The Bridge PAI in Charlottesville last October). He is included in Kramer’s Ergot 7 and in The Best American Comics. He also helped create the newsprint zine Paper Rodeo which included a lot of our favorite artists (like Ron Rege Jr!). Anyway, C.F.'s newest solo music project is really good, kind of spacey and dreamy.

Morgan Egg is from Providence and happens to be the same person who runs Rare Youth Records. We don't know much about him, but we really liked his set. 

Friends and evicted residents of the Church of Crystal Light Narwhalz and Across opened.

I just want to write about the wonderfulness that is everything that Shawn Reed does. He used to be in Raccoo-oo-oon and he now makes music under the name Wet Hair and runs a tape label called Night People. He makes art for the tapes he releases and sometimes he makes art for just showing too. He's going to show some work at Thanky in July. Check out his tape label here (NP has some vinyl releases as well):

So inspiring!

The universe is expanding

It's best (for the mind/spirit) if you can find your way to a public night at nearby observatory or attend an amateur astronomy night at the city science museum, but it is also nice to just think about space and the cosmos often and sometimes to look at pictures like these from NASA:
