Overproof is a small collective of artistic do-gooders here in the Twin Cities. There efforts are aimed at embracing the artistic community and bringing together artists of all sorts in order to reinforce the creative commonality we all seek to share. Whoa! Sounds pretty fuckin’ rad to me. Well now that you know that little snippet, I’ll give you all a time and place to participate. It seems that every Sunday at 8 PM they throw a little get together called Guilty Pleasures. The funness is at Jitters in the NE. Live music and drinks, cool peeps and a nice time. Get on it and don’t say we didn’t give you something to do this weekend.

This coming Monday July 14, Jaime Kopke and Angela Schwab are hosting another Pecha Kucha Night in Denver. Pecha Kucha Night is an opportunity to see, meet, and share work with other designers/creatives with only 20 images in 20 seconds a piece. It should be a blast, so def stop by and check out cool peoples like Scot LeFavor, Lynn Brunning, and The Magnet Mafia. Now all we need is a Pechu Kucha Night here in MPLS.
There may still be an small window of opportunity to become a presenter if you can get all your stuff together by this week. Check guidelines here.

Above is a hand-bill created by yours truly for the Super Fresh Block Party taking place this weekend, July 5th ( FIF! ) on East Colfax! Starting at 6pm you can swing by the Rock Bar parking lot for some BBQ and check out Live Painting by: Shitty Kitten, Mike Graves, Robert Maestas, Josh Wills, Eric Cox… and possibly a few other super secret and extra special guests, Hearts of Palm will serenade your soul! The shenanigans will continue throughout the night up until around midnight… A guerilla fashion show will take place along the super block at about 10pm and will feature the Denver Roller Dolls. Opening receptions for the following art shows will also be taking place throughout the night: Watermelon Belly Featuring new works by Shitty Kitten @ The Shoppe, Layer Upon Layer featuring the work of Robert Maestas @ Plastic Chapel, Paul Moschell is showing new work @ The Fabric Lab, and IKON is showing work @ Newspeak!

We could think of nothing more patriotic than collaborating together to bring you all a FREE event in an effort to celebrate our individual freedoms! Goodie bags will be handed out to all that attend while supplies last… America at it’s finest!

So, I kind of slipped on making sure I got this up in a timely fashion, but I think it’s important to bring mention to it and to share our funtastic experience. The rally was held on the 3rd in St. Paul at the Excel Event Center which holds about 18,000 people. We waited in a 3 hour line and just barely got in at the last minute. At one point, the line was actually over a mile long! Hahah. It all sounds pretty ridiculous, but we figured there was nothing better to do for the rest of the night, and aimed to stick it out no matter how long the wait. According to news sources in the area, there were the 18,000 people inside and another 15,000 outside. Those numbers are estimates, but you can clearly see that a shit ton of people showed up to see this speech. It was completely surreal to see that many people in one spot for something like this. To see someone speak in real life is completely different than on TV. I’m sure that sounds like an expected response, but it’s not anything I’ve really experienced. It actually made me want to get more involved and inspired me to do something (both, the speech and just being there). Here is a good link to check out for line pics and the map of the line.

It looks like there is going to be a huge group show at the Thorp Building tonight. It looks as though there will be art from more than 15 artists. (Sample above is Greg Gossel.) We will most definitely swing by as say something clever, take a few pics, drink a PBR (please be some tasty beverage for my oral delight) say hello to some art and bye to the crowd. Meet us there, we can thumb wrestle. No website for the Thorp Building I know of, so look at the map and drive there like they did in the 80’s.

The Yummies are going to holding it down at this years’ Pirate Invitational 2008! Word is the Ninja Nate, Mascot Mannie, Donut Dave, and the rest of the Yummies crew are traveling around the country on a press junket, so they won’t be able to make it… but I hear RYC will be in full effect showing off his ability to smile from ear to ear!
A mega hi-five goes out to RYC… getting invited to show at Pirate is huge. They have been showcasing the heavy hitters in obscure and niche genres of contemporary art here in Denver for over 20 years. Ray has been busting his ass for a few years now, not only opening doors for himself but others around him. One of the nicest guys you could meet, funny, eccentric… he has all of the qualities of a great! Swing through Pirate check out his work and pick up a piece… as his popularity rises so will his prices… get it while it’s gettable!
Pirate Invitational 2008 : Opening reception March 21 : 6 – 10 PM
Pirate Gallery :: 3655 Navajo Street :: Denver, CO :: 303 . 458 . 6058 :: www.pirategallery.com
Also after the show or before perhaps… I offer up the suggestion to swing through Gaetano’s for some mob Italian food. They are on 38th and Tejon just down the way from Pirate gallery. Calzones, Clams and Pasta… the Chauncey Burger… it’s all tasty! Super chill environment straight out of a Sinatra flick… tucked diamond upholstery and bullet proof glass!!!

Thursday March 20th!
Swing by The 400 this Thursday to catch the opening reception of the THINKMULE show Evolver. I’m personally super exited to see the show… I’ve been fortunate enough to catch a few THINKMULE pieces in the past at group shows. In my experience His work reads much better in person…. There is a sampling up online… but his work is much more tactile in person… lots of hand drawn/painted line work and intricate details!
Evolver-New work by THINKMULE :: Opening Reception: March 20th, Thursday, 7PM-10PM :: The 400 1010 Bannock Street, Denver, CO
