fltgc: glowlab and team gallery

best yet to come gallery: glowlab, soon to be christina ray. i was fortunate enough to pop in when christina was in. i love when she's there because she gives me a full run down of all that's to come at the space. she's uber busy with the new name change happening during two upcoming ny art shows fountain and pulse. at the later, christina will be proud to present works from roberto molla, who will also be in attendance at the fair. christina ray and crew will be on hand at fountain to fundraise for swoon's latest project points of interest in braddock, pa. they will be selling screen prints from the braddock screen printing shop.

next up for glowlab is mark price's glowlouge, which i'll be checking out. stay tuned for a write up.
must fun with paper: gert & uwe tobias at team gallery. these twin brothers create colorful works on paper. here's a special woodblock print especially for their show at team. sorry for glare.
i really loved their playful cutting of books and plays on binding. the reflection of the fluorescent lighting adds a nice tiouch don't you think?

renegade craft fair

semi-satisfying repeat crafting event: renegade craft fair. i had a great time last year at the fair despite the blistering heat. this year the fair was moved from mccarren pool to the park. it was more spread out, but fewer booths with less variety. my high school classmate taryn had a booth there, so i had to show her some support. she makes ab fab leather hand cut jewelry and porcelain buttons under the moniker, tom girl. she's awesome and glad i was able to help her hold up her display during the swirls of wind.

i realized i'll be home for the sf renegade. i'm uber excited since i'm curious to see the line-up that the west coast brings. there are quite the crafters there and in the pacific northwest. who's down my bay area crew?

trl: iron & wine

best trl set: iron and wine at arbrons art center. sam was in good spirits as he hit the stage solo with just his acoustic guitar. just him and the crowd. he just came from red rocks opening for flight of the conchords. our concert was extra special because fans got to vote for the set. lucky concert goers got commemorative tickets (sorry pic to the right is blurry). the graphic design on it reminds me a lot of frank lloyd wright.

i snoozed on the voting and recalled too late to cast my vote. sam, however, played my favs "passing afternoon" and "each coming night". he did not play jac's fav "flightless bird, american mouth".

set list of what i could recollect:
each coming night
jezebel
song he never played before live
bird stealing bread
radio war
some song he did with isaac brock (modest mouse) for his side project, ugly casanova
passing afternoon
resurrection fern
fever dream
sunset soon forgotten
communion cups and someone's coat
sodum, south georgia
trapeze swinger

*encore*
such great heights
some song this dude literally raised his hand for half the show to request

does anyone have the whole set list? also, those attending tonight's show i would be interested in seeing your's. sam said they would not be the same, but more songs that he knew. i guess i can wait for it to be posted here too, but would love to hear from others in attendance last night and tonight. :)

abron's was the perfect setting for the intimate concert complete with cushy seats. sam was uber chill and a bit burned by the 2 weeks of touring. i didn't mind. i liked his slip ups, tuning and wonky cable problems. he seems to just go about it without too much fuss. love me some sam beam. he provides the perfect lullaby before bed.
