A Week of Wonder at the AS220



Rise and shine, readers! Get off your tuckus and out into that balmy New England Spring. Or, more specifically, into a dark secluded venue in Providence's lush downcity. Those UV rays are overrated, and will only serve to rob you of your vampiric charm. Besides, your iPhone is giving off enough vitamin D to last you a lifetime. Right? Right.

Tonight grants us the show that we've all been waiting for: B Sharp bestows upon us Olneyville favorites Atlantic Thrills and Los Monos Locos. Muy Bien! Tomorrow promises a non-stop 12 hours of glitter encrusted magic, as well. The party starts at 2pm with Providence "Freedom Summer 2010" Kickball signups. Anybody remember "Breakup Summer 2007"? It'll be like that, but with less tears and more head injuries. Hang in the bar for our weekly Irish Music Session starting at 4, and the sweet Think Outside the Bomb tour at 5. This puppy's going down on a sliding scale of $3-5, and will take the form of a presentation and open dialogue around the intersectionality between nuclear abolition and other struggles for social and environmental justice, anti-war, etc. Rumor has it some rock n roll will also be involved. The party doesn't end there, though. Come 9:30 pm we're firing up an experimental film fest made on the cheap. Fear not, society maidens; its still got class. Lunchfilms indeed. Were I to pick but one winner as the weekdays roll on, I'd be loath to miss Thursday evening's BSS Elementary Showcase. Those gals keep it funky, people, and the dudes aren't bad either. Check out what our youth program does and what beat-making actually looks like. (Ahem. Timbaland? Anybody?) If by some horrifying shortcoming of God or Nature sick beats aren't your thing, give it till 9 that night: punk lives again with The Network, Abominable Iron Sloth, and Jesuscentric add up to a show you won't bring home to mama. Just remember to call her on Mother's Day, will you?

There it is, people. What more could I give? What more could we possibly have to offer? (Spoiler alert: Bike Swap!) For the extended rundown, peep our full calendar on the interweb. Until the rock show, away!
