Engagement Party - Knifeandfork Part 1

Posted on 8:14 AM by James | 0 comments


Just to reassure all of you that this blog has not turned into a music blog, here's an art-related post for you.

Engagement Party, the first Thursday night event presented by MOCA, is returning with the collective Knifeandfork. I'll be heading out to MOCA with some friends to meet up with the FS gang on Thursday night.

Knifeandfork, founded by Brian House and Sue Huang, presents three new works for Engagement Party, MOCA’s series of interventions by local artist collectives occurring the first Thursday of every month from 7–10pm at MOCA Grand Avenue. Events are free and open to the general public.

For the first event, artists-in-residence Knifeandfork present Emptiness is Form (Golf and Donuts).

The popular game of miniature golf is recast as a community social event as Knifeandfork installs a custom course that appropriates the museum's unique architecture, utilizing both interior and exterior spaces and following multiple paths through MOCA's Grand Avenue campus. Visitors are encouraged to team up and utilize balls outfitted with RFID tags to show off their skills. Other interactive surprises are also planned for the evening.

Donuts by Deanna Moody of Dee's Bakery and Donuts

The Submarines & The Morning Benders @ The Troubadour

The Submarines


The Morning Benders

I'm not sure if this is too late for posting. Most of the things on here are so time sensitive. But this past Saturday night I went to the Troubadour with a friend to see The Submarines.

I'm including the videos by this guy instead of my own because his quality is much, much better. I've been following his concert videos for awhile now. When I saw him up front at the Troubadour I didn't make any connections. But when I watched his videos on YouTube, I recognized his compositions from the small LCD display on his digital camera I saw that night.

I know that sounds totally weird, but I don't think I go to a show anymore without scanning the crowd to see who's capturing the live performances. Then I check the next morning to see if any of those videos are up.

This was the third time Sandy and I have seen The Submarines together in the past, I think, eight to ten months. Really since they began touring to support their current album, Honeysuckle Weeks. We've been trying to get together twice before since December to go see them, but our plans never gelled.

This was also the second time we have seen The Morning Benders this past year.
