Horrible at Self-Promotion

Soo...

Two weeks ago today, Karmic Calamity Studio and Gallery was open for the first time ever, featuring artwork from Hold My Life, as well as a free concert by Doug Bale, The Plastic Flappybats, and Tony (of Mojo Music fame)'s band. Apparently Tony's band didn't have a name, although he'd joked about billing them as "The Amazing Corsicans".

So that was the lineup for the free outdoor show, which was held in the common area between Karmic Calamity and Tammie Coe Bakery. It was a good show, a good mix of music, ranging from Doug's singer-songwriter stylings, Tony's full-on metal experience, and the Bats' Rockabilly-meets-Replacements set. I can honestly say that the show featured something for everyone, regardless of age group or music tastes. I know we had a blast playing for an audience, and we'll definitely be doing it again, and again and again if I have anything to say about it. And I do. :-)

I also have to give special thanks to Jeremy, an amazing drummer who showed up to play with Tony's group, and then graciously agreed to play on the Flappybats' set as well. I'd be honored to have him sit in with us anytime. You did a great job, man.

The show outside was nice, and Rhonda and I were both happy with the way the Gallery show went inside that night as well. That was the first time we'd opened the doors of the gallery to the public, and it was definitely a gas to do that featuring my own art, which I've never shown to the public before, outside of GirlAMatic.

There are photos at karmiccalamity.com for any interested parties who'd like to take a peek.

Anyway, that was two weeks ago. Tonight's the Third Friday artwalk, and we'll be open for that as well. No music tonight, that's a First Friday thing for us, but we may be projecting Hold My Life onto the wall, as well as selling prints from the comic.

if you're in downtown Phoenix tonight, feel free to stop by 610 East Roosevelt Street and look for Penny.
