Sunday night show • Posted on Thursday August 21, 2008

What is happening on Sunday night?
This:
Saint Merman (DoS resident worker Nicholas Wilbur) and Hello Shark (from Vermont) are playing a show.

That part of the event alone is worth your attendance.
But there is more.

Afterwards, we’re making the second recording for a Fontee Fount release called “RAPPS BARON I & II,” and we’re inviting everyone to follow loose directions and make strange music.

Do not be shy. All are welcome to participate, and bringing instruments is encouraged (no amps necessary). Come check it out at least.

Also keep in mind that this could very easily turn into a dance party.

If you are confused or curious, call the DoS (293 8361) and ask for Paul. Also, all participants will receive a free copy of the recording when it is released.
