See You at Art2Art3!

At Art2Art, we've seen a rich variety of performances and displays, including readings from new work by local writers, comedy by talented stand-up artists, stunning kinetic art displays, performance poetry, and much much more. Here's Jerry's invite for the third Art2Art:

Art2Art2 was not only a lot of fun but also educational. Where else could we have learned (from Haik) that English soccer fans sing (to the tune Nah Nah Nah Nah, Nah Nah Nah Nah, Hey Hey, Goodbye):

No one likes us
No one likes us
No one likes us
We don't care

Chances are that we never would have figured out how to say the retroflex sounds (such as Zh and r) in Chinese without having Jamie point his sword at us. Nor understood why Joe rarely gets a chance to tell potential dates that his daughter's hair is pink.

But now that Wayne and Sue have kindly consented to present Art2Art3 we will have the opportunity to learn many more interesting things from those within our midsts whose talents have until now remained hidden.

Art2Art is based on the idea that each of us has valuable talent that is worth nurturing and sharing with our supportive (within limits) friends. Each performance is about 5 minutes long and more than half the time is devoted to discussing and partying.

We want to thank you for limiting your talking during the performances at Art2Art2 to 90 dB. At Art2Art3 we are aiming to further reduce the level to 70dB. Pursuant to that goal, we have decided to not allow chain saws and jackhammers into the event.

Many artists or their agents (some of our performers have been handling themselves too long) have already signed on to perform at Art2Art3. But there are still a few slots available. To perform or display, contact Wayne and Sue at:
