> DESCRIPTION

we're throwing a soiree to celebrate the ending of our wonderful exhibit:

Nothing is Wasted But the Whale Itself
:a drawing installation by Jim Holyoak

"Fantasy abandoned by reason produces impossible monsters. Fantasy
united with reason is the mother of the arts, and a source of
wonders."
- Francisco Goya

www.monstersforreal.com

*A portion of all sales go to protecting oceans and the behemoths of the deep.

***SPECIAL MUSICAL PERFORMANCE by Nor'wester!***

and since the email that Ellis (a member of the band) sent me was so straightforward, sincere and endearing, here it is, UNCUT...

"Our band name is Nor'wester (formerly Post Coital Honesty), our myspace is www.myspace.com/norwesterband . You might want to include that (formerly...) part, just in case... Some possible quotes are:

"L.A.'s premier campfire band"

or

"Mixing a heap of Americana with a healthy dose of forward thinking arrangements and a dash of cowboy disco, Nor'wester puts their own spin on traditional music, and also bring their own tales into the mix. Featuring spot-on soulful singing to go with a rhythm section that shines and chugs right along like a freight train, they keep their music fresh and undiluted."

- Orcas Island Sentinel"

c'mon, who doesn't like campfires? and tales? tales of campfires even? so don't be shy, come out and enjoy a wonderful night of art, music, and the fun-est time ever.
