Testify
Current mood: weird
Category: Art and Photography

I saw "Fuddy Meers" last night at The Empty Space, and also had a chance to view some of the "Burn The Witch" art...and stuck around to watch Blacklist too. I must say...

Wow. Fuddy Meers is amazing, first of all. I need to put together a tantalizing blog about it this weekend to tempt your tastebuds for the flurry of comedic and emotional surprises you are in for if you go to see it. It is very different, it took me until the end of the play to even figure out what I was watching. Is it really a comedy? Is it symbolic? Meaningful? Well, yes. It's all of those. Wow.

Second, the "Burn The Witch" art is incredible. I have never been so moved by art this way. The pieces are dripping with emotion, screaming with expression, and just plain complex and beautiful. And mind you, I just browsed some of the art during intermission of FM. I have not yet experienced the full force of the art show...hopefully we'll be able to stop by tonight on our way out of town. These girls are fantastic. Scratch that, these artists are fantastic. I am wowed, again.

Lastly...I don't have direct word on this but it seems like Blacklist might be taking a break at the end of the month or heading off on a world tour or something (who can tell with these guys) so make sure to catch them in September before they're gone.

That's my testimony, what about you? If you experience art this weekend, you gots to testify, brothers and sisters. Amen.
