I May Have Forgotten How to Do This...

But here is a message from Dan Wenninger: 1Way returns this Tuesday (2/24) with Oblique Orchestra at 9pm. After our set there will be an open, large group collective improvisation starting at 10pm. Anything goes, any instrument or sound making device. There is a house drum kit. Once the piece has started feel free to join or leave the improvisation when you want. This takes place at the Go Factory. 1935 W. 96th off of Madison. 3rd floor. Park in the large fenced in parking lot and use the door closest to the street. Donations are graciously accepted. Doors open at 8:30pm. Music starts at 9pm. Dress warm, there is a wood burning stove but it's still a warehouse in Cleveland, in February. -Dan

(Actually, the blog just lost one of its six followers, so now 40% of the followers are former members of the Ragged Bags...)

Which is neither here nor there. Right now I am blogging in a vain attempt to hold onto what's left of my sanity. I would have liked to be at this gig:

Or at any of the three performances of the musical that Talibam! wrote and performed with Sam Kulik: "Talibam! Goes To Bed with Sam Kulik and Discovers Atlantis" (click on the header and read more, if you care, or dare, to...)
