A plug for Dr. Sketchy’s Atlanta on Urbandaddy, “Sketch-22: Drinking, Drawing and Cabaret”:

Grab a drink, scout out a table and prepare to meet your muse for the evening—a rotating cast of characters from Sadie Hawkins of Gold Room fame to gyrating belly dancers of… gyrating belly dancing fame. Either way, you’re looking at three hours of pencil-pushing debauchery, just the way Mother Nature intended it.

Pinup Talk reposted the video of my strip at the Bang! Arts party last winter.

Backed by a live acoustic quartet, in the midst of the crowd with all eyes locked and loaded, Sadie delivers an extremely sexy and deliciously haunting performance that infuses sensuality and desire in the air.

And I think I’m going to be interviewed by Body By Burlesque sometime soon. She saw the Masters of Vaudeville show in Asheville and posted one of the Bang! videos, too!

Lastly, a good friend is embarking on a huge life change. Chris Warner is closing Alcove, and Creative Loafing gave him a great writeup. It mentions that Blast-Off came into its own there.

Amazing stuff in this show… collaborative art. Come by between 7 and 11. The band is The Goldest.

As Chris Warner said:

Please join us Friday evening for a night with Dangerous Basement, Smoker and the Bandit BBQ, and touch of culture. Local art powerhouse John Tindel joins us with his maze of color and deep south urban concepts. Colorado’s mountain man Matthew Doubek throws down with his masterful layering and tweaked illustrative story telling techniques. Six solid years of Mr. Hooper at the Ole Owl House…as he graces us with some of the finest aged cheese. He stands alone unfolding his corral of characters and unleashing the true thunder under every stone.

If you don’t have anything going on earlier in the afternoon, stop by Eyedrum, too. I’ll be gallery-sitting from 3-8 PM.

We’re having a party (free show) at Alcove from 8-11PM on Thursday, October 1st. Come celebrate with us!

Also, the Silver Scream Spook Show was voted Best Film Series for the third year straight. So much awesome!
