Hey everyone-

well, a bunch of new shows this week, including an interesting event at crooked
beat records tomorrow. take a look at the first posting for details. Sounds
interesting. if I have any energy left after tomorrow, i am going to try and
stop in.

Also of note, Artomatic 2008 opens next Friday night (may 9th). 8 floors, 1000
artists, and free to boot. can't beat that. It is located at 1200 first street,
NE. literally one block from the NY Ave Metro station on the red line. you can
see the building from the train. opening night is always fun. come out and join
us. www.artomatic.org.

i guess that is all for this week.

more submissions please.

till next week...

later,
pete
