Opera House, to be continued

(I just wrote this first part in an email, and now it transformed into a blog)...

I once found these amazing bright orange, perfectly fitted for my tiny hands, completely unique gloves-- at an outdoor thrift mart in Somewhere, Texas. They were sooo dirty! I washed them a gabillion times. ANYWAYS then I was at The Cave and I spotted the exact same gloves, there at Opera House-- but bright green and not filthy. They were 5 bucks. At Feathers, something like that would be like $25.

I don't remember if it was Leah or Liz who had found them. At some other thrift store somewhere. There's probably only like 10 of them existing and only half of them are on sale.

About to perform with lrc, with the largest group i've ever played with live improv-- Of course, I had brought my orange pair. So it was exciting to have some synchrotron and still unique bright orange AND bright green gloves hanging out my back pockets!

One other time, I went to O.P.E.R.A house, when Awthum Fest got moved from the Enchanted Forest to The Cave. Saw and experienced great things there.

Sad about it's closing. Understanding though. Word is the New Bohemia will be locating there instead. So the vintage clothes aspect of the space will stay alive. Though the live performance aspect will die.

I wonder what relational venue will spring up?? OH I do hope something like opera house feel will spring up in Austin soon!

I wonder what Leah will be up to? I wonder what a lot of people will be up to!

The Erich Ragsdale and Eric Archer show installation was epic. I'll come back and post some pictures. I have some footage of Gary Barftits' noise set there, while interacting Erich Ragsdale's installation which was still up at the time.


Ben Aqua's photographic series Invasion of Privacy is there now. You should go check it out!! And pick-up his card (best card I've seen yet, and I have a hefty collection) and pay attention to where he placed them (hint: lego). Also pay attention to the way he hung his photographs. Truely inspired.

The Opera House Closing Show Party is the AUGUST 10TH. Party starts at 5pm, bands stop playing at 11pm. Night Viking (chad of palfloat, amanda, kevin, and sam of gary b) are going to play together again, reunion, and also maybe for the last time?



Nanobangbang will also be playing around sundown. So I will perform, along with exquisite sound helpers (flier info soon). Very good space for Nanobanginging.

It's a small intimate place so, don't too many people come.

So I wanted to write a blog about Opera House and I don't think this is sufficient, but I have to go get some work done.
