il corral stickers ... new design...

...the new il corral donation page...

hope you can visit!

the holidays at the il corral...

this was a wonderfully anarchic jolly time. sean and richmond dropped in to give gifts and greetings. we made newspaper snow and a holiday album playing art facist. we drank vegan nog, ate treats, had a feast of beans and squash and despite my burning the pears, everything was fun and warm and celebratory.

...our gift from omega...

... il corral BENEFIT...

as i have mentioned, we are having a series of benefit shows to raise money to buy the p.a.

initially, we had thought it would be $2000, but that was if we could come up with all of the money at once...which we can't.

so the total is going to be $2700 paid for in parts.

this is a significant amount of money, and we have many other ways to help us with this cause. we are always looking for people interested in organizing events to help us raise funds, that is not our particular talent here.

as of now, when you donate at our shows, for beverages or whatever, when you go online and get il corral stickers, 40bands80minutes dvds, or our monthly passes: all this money will go toward making sure we can keep the place open and pay for the p.a.

and now our benefit shows, curated by sean carnage and i, start Saturday January 27 with anavan and khm in some incarnation...later shows will be featuring moment trigger, and others...watch the website, or the yahoo group postings for information and the process will unfold here as always...

if you are interested in volunteering to help around here, or you'd like to play a benefit show email info@ilcorral.net with the tagline BENEFIT... and we'll find a place for you.

tonight is different than most...

tonight is free,
a free for all
improvisatiation
since it's going on until early morning
far past when the buses start running

i'm so grateful for everyone
someone bought stickers today,
and we have bands volunteering to play
for our benefit shows,
and i can finally feel the taught cords
in my neck release
and let go
fall back trusting
into the unknown outstretched

turn the screws...

the pancake recipe on the refrigerator door
we had them for dinner too...
having a pancake gathering is a fine idea,
it'll happen again soon i think

everyone was rad
bob has it all on video
a lot of people took pictures

i saw a few performances only because we were so busy,

the seed pod pals
wanda (dead in the shower) gala and bob b-rue
rubber 0 cement crashintotraffic unstoppable
treasure mammal uplifting dropped beatific spandex holy time
the trash bag dancer brooke smiley and adam overton's noise
liam mooney's ok audience (that i got to film) total destruction

we enact anarchy
so that we can live peacefully
carving that tension
into fine wrought art

or so perhaps on a good day

$30 for all the shows in a month...!

last night ..........

i was at the door alone, but surrounded by wonderful friends

if you came to the show last night, you know how lucky you are to have seen such outstanding performances...

the dung mummy shows have been happening here since last september, and as the il corral has grown into it's newness, so have the artists in this collective come to such a great point in their evolution. i'm honored to be a part of it.
