Rock out

I doodled in the darkness last night, while waiting for the band to come on. Extra Life blew me away, and I attempted to buy a cd from them, but they never came back to man their booth. Oh well, guess I'll have to go see them again! It's okay, I only had $8 on me anyways. Their keyboardist was sick and stayed home, so I'm interested to see how he figures into the loop also. They were so intense! And the vocalist's voice was just mesmerizing, especially paired with the violin.

I left before Kyp Malone came on, but stayed long enough to notice that he shaved his 'fro off! whoa!

HELL YES!

Brooklynvegan says:

In celebration of the 15th year anniversary of the groundbreaking album, Exile in Guyville and its long awaited reissue a day earlier, Liz Phair will acoustically perform the entire album on June 25th at the Hiro Ballroom in New York.

YES! So excited!! Too bad it's a wednesday though, or I'd attempt to make Nate come visit for it.

weekend baking

I've been listening to The Cure now for three days straight and it's not getting old. Ahhh Mint Car. Soo Good! These are chocolate-chip cure cookies, because I says so. (okay, they're really Garrick's thin bakery style cookies, from Don't Eat off the Sidewalk, YUM!)They were perfect. It was raining out and I was all emo from endless Cure songs. Sigh.




and then I made some berry-almond-quinoa muffins today. I bastardized the Ginger-raisin bran muffins from VWAV and just used a trail mix I had that had a ton o way too sugary on their own dried berries and almonds. I replaced the bran with quinoa flakes. perfect!





Dinner tonight was Black-eyed pea and Quinoa croquettes with Mushroom sauce. Also from VWAV.



I have six mini-paintings drying right now and waiting for me to put the finishing gouache touches on them. They will be scanned and printed this week! I'm getting a new scanner at work on wednesday and I'm pretty excited about that. Woo!

I also have a mini mushroom and cupcake planter army started. I'll be selling my stuff at Artist's and Fleas in Williamsburg, Brooklyn on June 14th and 15th. come by if you are on your way to Renegade (also the same weekend at the nearby McCarren Pool!!)!
