trainwreck of thought

ah cripes, I erased my old blog post. there goes my virtual memory.

I took the last two days off work to pick up a moped in Pennsylvania and take my first swim of the summer.

okay so Shangri-la (postponed until the Labor Day weekend) , I would be too rushed to put it together in two weeks, plus now the town has time to get the riot gear. Hopefully it will be water proof becuase we are going to set up the pool and bring the beach to you. While we are wading for the pool, we are going to have a BBQ on Sunday the 19th with Water under Water, Savu Sea and one other band. Mark your calenders.

Other stuff @ 58. Kayt Hester Lent's last looks is this Saturday. The gallery will be open tomorrow from 3 to 6pm. Trust Your Struggle's Of Love and Riots opens on Friday. And if you didn't know 58's first Record and Craft Fair is next Sunday @ noon. Contact Cootah@gmail.com to rent a table.

On the Anerican Watercolor Movement Calender, the film, music, and art presentation of 1938 will be at 8 pm on August Saturdays the 11th and the 18th.

Friends,The Meltdowns are playing at the Luna Lounge this Friday the 27th of July, as I have previously mentioned. We go on at 8pm exactly, so hopefully that helps -- we went on a little earlier last time and everybody had trouble getting there after work. It's very easy to get to by car or mass transit (Path -> 14th street, L train -> Lorimer). Here's Google for directions!Thanks for coming out so much lately, it's been really exciting and the shows have really been just awesome!Did you guys know that the Iron Monkey flooded only hours before you got there? Yes, we will be doing The Dance. We will ALWAYS do The Dance. And we WILL find clever ways to rope you into doing it, too. Oh yes.In other news:We have a van! Adam thinks he's going to squeeze all of us and our equipment into a Honda Odyssey. It's going to be hysterical. He got it because we're driving to Greenville, NC on Fri Aug 17th to play at a place called Spazzatorium Galleria, and then we're going to Athens, GA to play at Little Kings with our soul mates Oh No They Didn't, who have invited us down. We would really love to play in the DC/Baltimore/VA area on Thur Aug 16th if we can find a show! If anybody on here can help us out, please let me know! I know I've got some southern rockers on this mailing list who've asked us to come South in the past... We'll have t-shirts when we go South! Oh yes! More recording this Sunday. Aug will be recording and practicing for the Fall and that trip, and going to da beach boyyyy, so probably no more area shows until September, hopefully we can do some kind of local blow-out in Jersey City. Meanwhile, if you're in the NYC/Jerz area while we're away, be sure to hit up 58 Gallery's Shangri-La event that weekend, which is going to be quite a blast (a two-day blast), and we're sorry that we'll be missing it! All my best,Billy Meltdown

...for a while anyway. I'm moving to Florida...where the alligators are big, the sharks are hungry and the rednecks are armed. So if you can't make it to the "good-bye" show on Aug 19 in Jersey City, come to Crash Mansion this Friday. We're even playing a brand new song just for the occasion. So here are the details:FRIDAY, 07/27/2007 09:00 PM - Crash Mansion199 bowery @ Spring St, New York, 10009 - free if you rsvpJuly 27th - Old's Cool Birthday Bash - with the New York Howl, Second Dan, Mesmer, and the Impulse. As is always the case when we play at Crash: Free admission before 11 on the Underbelly list (RSVP at rsvp@newyorkunderbelly.com ) - $5 after; otherwise, after 11, it's $10 bucks. Come early for the free vodka drinks (9-10 pm). The Impulse plays last... and probably very drunk. -Adamwww.the-impulse.com


[ Note: Due to potential down-pour we are converting this Saturday's rooftop party into a tight and beautiful indoor-all-night hedonistic gathering of big art, friends and fire. Our former party palace, the third floor of third ward, is deep under deconstruction but we have cleared out a few rooms of bliss in the midst of apocalyptic
demolition. The result is about 15,000sqft of party
space set against beautiful ruin. ]
ArtistsWanted, 3rd Ward Brooklyn, TheDanger, Ad-Hoc Arts, The American Water Color Movement, Subatomic Sound System and Black Crack Records invite you to the return of:
I (heart) DANGER
Saturday, July 28th, 10pm to 7am
Nine hours of interactive fire art, dj's, dance and aesthetic decadence launching our new project: Artists Wanted.
These are things we should never do...
Explore a maze of beautiful detritus, danger art, dancers, dj's, bubble domes, ice-sculpture, and fire performance from the same artists and mischief-makers that brought you July 14th's One Night of Fire.
In the room of Brick:
The American Water Color Movement (10pm) An inspiring mix of live groove and visuals that is both frightening and calming all at once ' it's a strange groove, because it somehow inspires both movement and paralysis. Movement because the rhythm is so intoxicating, and paralysis because of the feeling that some major shit is going down and all you can do is stand back and watch.
Subatomic Sound System (11pm)
Born at the turn of the millennium during a collision of circuit boards, New York City asphalt, and human skin, this live group of seasoned musicians experiments with hip-hop, dub reggae, dancehall and drum and bass with excessive exposure to gamma radiation. They are as danceable as they are poetic, a dangerous sound that is not to be missed.
After Midnight:
DJ Grimace brings classic hip-hop and loin shaking street funk classics.
$mall(c)hange continues the classic theme digging deep into his endless crates upping the BPM as the collective heartbeat of the dance-floor rises.
Zemi17 plays through sunrise with his eclectic mix of Indonesian house to transcendent intelligent techno.
In the third floor Dome (you have to see it to believe it):
The Imagenode Collective offer art, music and wonderful things.
Autophage brings ambient glitch-hop with a nerdcore vibe.
North guinea hills and dj prancecess will drop everything from post-aphex gestures, to environmental kraut pulses, to defleshed dubsteps, and the cultural detritus of the world hacked onto skeletal beats.
Leisure Muffin plays lofi chill to regressive epic bleepblop.
DJ Love Rocket takes you on a journey through distant universes of warped and wandering soundscapes and celestial soundtracks.
With visuals by The Housewives' Guide To Anatomy & Animitron.

In the Open Air Courtyard:
Josh Kalin does live ice-sculpting with a touch of flame while fire performers bring up the heat and beauty, rain or shine.
In the Gallery:
Massive projections from One Night of Fire by Jeanne Angel (if you were there you are now famous) and bring a shirt or flag for free fire screen prints by Ad-Hoc Arts. It's like wearable vandalism.
Plus Jeremy Nelson and Devin Elijah make you beautiful with pro portrait sessions to be broadcast throughout the venue and online into perpetuity. To see portraits from our last event look to:
http://jeremynelsonstudio.com/PortraitParties/PortaritParties/
All this with cheap booze and a few things you'd never expect at:
3rd Ward Brooklyn
195 Morgan Ave.
Take the L train to Morgan Ave and walk 4 blocks north.
This Saturday, July 28th
10pm to 7am or later
Only $10 - Strictly 21+
Details and directions: http://www.thedanger.com/
Also, we had a huge response to the Art Ate New York competition, so much that we decided to make the thing bigger/badder/longer with more partners and a better prize. You deserve as much. Details will be announced next week but now you have more time to create your work and make it public. The deadline will likely be in September. Details will be at:
http://www.artistswanted.org/
-----------------------------------------------
[Note: The event below is important, please join us.]
Join performance artists Reverend Billy and the Stop Shopping Gospel Choir, the Rude Mechanical Orchestra, Critical Mass bike riders, and Picture New York -- a new coalition of concerned filmmakers and photographers, for a festive and un-permitted celebration of the First Amendment.
Friday, July 27, 6:30pm
Union Square, north end
Press Conference and Rally
Bring: marching bands, gospel choirs, props and signs, cameras, projections, bikes, YOU and YOUR FRIENDS, and the
44 sweet words of the First Amendment of the United States Constitution.

Hey you,

I'm starting a reading series at Balance Salon World Of Style for my humorous essays and poetry. I'll be inviting special guests to read sometimes, so tell your writer friends.

It's going to be Saturdays before dark. It will most likely start up by the end of this month.

Balance Salon World Of Style is a hair salon and vintage clothing store with go go stages and wine. It's the only hair salon I've known that has bands play. It's one block from the Grove Street PATH. Also, it's given me the best hair cuts of my life.

Thank you,
Melissa Surach

Vito! You mispelled my name. It's Melissa Surach, with two s's.

And my first reading at Balance will be on July 28th from 3-5 pm. It's called Sweet Face, Sour Puss.

Also, I will soon be starting an open mic on Tuesday nights called BabyHole. I don't know where or when, but it will happen as soon as next week, or no later than the first week of September. It will be for everything BUT poetry, mostly comedy and rock and roll.

Thanks!
Melissa
