12/15/08 - Preview From Concert Carnival Central
Whew. No matter how well you plan, the week before a big show is busy. I'm excited by the way Concert Carnival is going. I am supported by some of the best performers and crew, people have been stepping up and some things are coming together that I could never have imagined. Such a mandala offering: it's only going to play out once, this Saturday!
Here's a preview of a few of the numbers:
1) Polish video artist Pawel Kruk is premiering a short, "ScreenTest."
2) Hoop dancer Laura Blakeman of Shakti SunFire is going to be there. You might know her from epic nights onstage with String Cheese Incident at Horning's Hideout and Hot Buttered Rum at Yarmony Fest.
3) It will be interesting to see what Matt Eakle (David Grisman Quintet) and Sean Hutchinson (New Monsoon, Dave Brogan) do together. Sean is coming out from New York City for the NKCC! I've admired Matt's flute playing with DGQ for years.
4) The Hella Fools are going to be in the house. The only required homework for the Concert Carnival is to see their youtube.
5) I haven't been allowed to see any of the rehearsal for the Whipped Cream and Coconuts Burlesque troupe. Who's been naughty and nice?
6) There are new and old songs to be sung by a several people: Nicki Bluhm, Zac Matthews, John McGaraghan, Forerst Sun, Josh Brough, Santa Claus.
7) I just signed up Tiffany Typhoony to come do facepainting for performers and audience. Tiffany is an accomplished makeup and costume artist, known in California for her work with Wavy Gravy's Camp WinnaRainbow. She'll be set up in the house before the show and during setbreak to paint peoples' faces for tips. DRESS TO THE NINES! Soiree Cabaret Attire. That means you too, Eaton. Dress code will be enforced by Santa's Sexy Helpers.
Personal recommendation. 1) Get a drink before the show at Mini Bar SF (you can google this, too) which is just a block away. 2) Eat dinner at the Herbivore, across the street 3) stay at the Metro Hotel, a few blocks away. Does that sound like a metrosexual San Francisco evening or what?
