I'm on a mission to wipe imagination clean.

I feel like my brain has been has been put through a dryer or something. Not sure if this was the sickness that encompassed me for a long while, longer than usual, or a culmination of everything else. Or both.  Either way, here’s a new entry. Not much is new for the most part.

Went to rat136’s show opening at Zerofriends last Saturday. There were 136 pieces all involving his trademark rat character. It was a fun time, I met some really nice people, and ate some tasty food.  The attention to detail in his pieces blows me away and instantly makes me want to create. His work can be seen and purchased here.

If you live near Oakland, I can’t recommend enough checking out this show.

Next week, Daniel and I are going to LA (hopefully…will cement this outing soon) to check out the Stanley Kubrick gallery at the LAMC. I’ve seen pictures from others who have gone and am really looking forward to seeing props and what not from his films in person. We plan on leaving in the early AM, getting there in the early afternoon, checking it out, maybe getting some food, then driving on back that night. It’s nothing I haven’t done before, but should be interesting none the less.

The following day, I’m seeing Sigur Ros in SF, which is exciting since they will be playing new material, and have a 14-piece orchestra with them and a unique light show. They mentioned this being a one-time thing and that they won’t be touring with a crew like this again…so it sounds special. We’ll see.   

Finally, the night after that, I have tickets to see How to Destroy Angels (with DIIV opening!) which is going to be all kinds of rad. The band is working with the same company that help put on NIN’s Lights in the Sky tour which, when it came around here, I was lucky enough to catch because it instantly because one of my favorite shows I’ve ever seen. The elaborate stage set-ups and the inclusion of lights and screens with the music itself was phenomenal and nothing like I’ve ever seen. Rob Sheridan of HTDA mentioned something along the lines of the show would be just as much a visual show as it will be an audible one.
