A free vari­ety event at MESH fea­tur­ing the psy­che­delic war­lords Tasha Yar, the Nin­tendo rap stylings of Cashio & spo­ken word by Kevin Keck, Tim Peeler & Ted Pope.

Tasha Yar plays in the heavy, PSY style of Hawk­wind. Bring a backup brain because your pri­mary brain will be melted along with your face.

Cashio is in a genre all his own with very orig­i­nal lyrics often set to remixed Nin­tendo beats. Not since Kool Keith have you seen sub­ject mat­ter this col­or­ful. Watch out for those water zom­bies and for god’s sake get a harder tooth brush.

Amer­i­can essay­ist & poet Kevin Keck will be per­form­ing. His writ­ing is largely auto­bi­o­graph­i­cal. He is best know for his col­lec­tion of per­sonal essays Oedi­pus Wrecked, which chron­i­cles his sex­ual coming-of-age in a humor­ous style that is often com­pared to David Sedaris & Sarah Vowell.

Also, more South­ern Gothic miss-adventures from Sam & Larry, the pro­tag­o­nists from the book Wait­ing for Char­lie Brown by Tim Peeler & Ted Pope.

The event will start at 6 and will last until when­ever. This is a free event. There will be some mature con­tent and Tash Yar is loud as hell so maybe leave the small chil­dren at home for this one.

Some pho­tos from Stephanie’s Recep­tion. Thanks to all the folks who came out and made it such a suc­cess. Due to some cash and carry pur­chases there are at least 3 new draw­ings that were not hung dur­ing the recep­tion so stop by and check it out all over again! The show will hang thru the end of Decem­ber. Also thanks to John Payne for the pics.

Thanks to all who attended and a big thanks to Angel for not only pro­duc­ing such ambi­tious work but tak­ing care to present it so well. This is the most well-framed show to date.

Great fun was had and Ricky is poised to eas­ily break our sales record with 8 paint­ings sold to date. If Ricky’s amaz­ing utopian vision doesn’t make you smile then you may not know how to enjoy life. A big thanks to Roger Carter (the new MESH Chef) for the awe­some chicken! The fine patrons at MESH man­aged to eat 15 pounds of it. Thanks again John Payne for the awe­some pho­tos, that man is every­where. We will post more pho­tos from this recep­tion later.

Lance has com­pleted work on his mural on the back wall at MESH. Done in the style of con­tem­po­rary street/graffiti art the mural evokes ten­sion and unrest. Lance is study­ing at The Savan­nah Col­lege of Art and Design and we expect big things from him. Lance is cur­rently on the sched­ule at MESH Gallery for a sin­gle artist’s exhi­bi­tion start­ing in July, 2012.

A lit­tle late com­ing but here are some pho­tos from Tim’s recep­tion. All pho­tos by John Payne Photography.
