MAYDAY! The Weekly Happs at AS220



Enchanté, readers! How goes the tangible reality? Here in the blogosphere we're reading a balmy 75 degrees, though at the rate YouTube keeps adding Lady Gaga videos, its about to get alot hotter. Can you handle it, show-goers? We'll wait and see. Is that a challenge? YOU BET IT IS!

I've spent the afternoon getting jacked up on double-caff Folgers and hyperventilating into a brown paper bag in preparation for tomorrow night's anticipated happening. It's been in my Blackberry for months, people, and the moment is finally nigh. Derek Holzer/TONEWHEELS, Black Pus, Humanbeast, and Shawn Greenlee are poised to lay siege to our senses in but a short 24 hours. With the promise of proactive treason, marital eroticism, horrifying drawings of blood, and untold varieties of aural assault, this ain't your mamas noise show. Be there, or possibly have some hope of decent hearing for the rest of your life. (Wait, does that even rhyme?) Also premiering that night is our fabulous new late Spring "Is It Summer Yet?" menu. (Littlenecks with asparagus, anyone? Vegan Rueben?) Sunday afternoon, get casual and saunter downtown for a free-of-charge May gallery opening. Featured this month is nicest person around town and no-longer secretly incredible artist Corey Grayhorse. Also for show and sale are some awesomely shiny and religiously themed works by Alicia Perez, new work by Andrew Gunnar Norquist, and books by children of the Fox Point Community Library. Stick around for an uncomfortably raunchy Empire Review, during which Keith Munslow will continue to tightrope the creepy/debonaire line via having promised to "get wet." Um, really? We're also having a special open Monday for crooning protestors Detroit Rebellion, Joe Fletcher, and Gregory and the Hawk. Fast forward through a thrilling week of cottage industry classes, and bring it all home next Friday for a "very special" B Sharp Presents. Rearing to go are Los Monos Locos and... are you ready? Atlantic Thrills. DAN TANNER WE LOVE YOU!!!!!! Welcome home, buddy. Your music scene high fives you.

There it is, rockers. For a full rundown of the weekly happs, get to our calendar. If you need me, I'll be in the green room doodling "Reba hearts Black Pus"... "Mrs Reba Humanbeast"... etc. Until next time, away!
