FRINGE NINJA GIG numero UNO! (and surprise, more tonight!!) (Patreon)

EDIT: i updated the bottom of this post with information on ANOTHER show i'm guesting in tonight that i left off in my original publishing of this post. while i'm here i also added more photos. if you're wondering why you received a second email notification it's because i am using a new patreon feature that notifies you that a post has been changed after it was published. 

.......

HALLO LOVES.....

jaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

quick one because i'm late to get to the actual point of my day (i booked a rehearsal studio from noon to 6 pm and i'm already on hour 2 of ADMIN but this is what you get when you run your own ninja gigs and want to blog about them and and and also want to be a rehearsing musician at the same time. DESPAIR).

LAST NIGHT WAS FUCKING ****EPIC******!!!!!

andrew o'neill and i co-wrangled and co-hosted! he did stand-up and i played uke and drank wine and wasn't nearly as funny as he was. 

i love me a planned-24-hour-ahad of time gig. i still owe you a few pictures and a write-up from ICELAND, i am woefully behind, but life is happening in realtime. i'll catch up in a second. 

for now....

here's a short lil video of the modern maori quartet making us all dance and smile....

here's some photo highlights of last night care of kenny mathieson (except the maori photo from the back of stage, that one's mine).

about 300 people showed up and the space was packed and we didn't have to turn a single person away which was wonderful. we passed the hat at the end of the night and (after paying the venue staff for their wonderfulness) we split the take equally among every stage performer....

and i'm including info about ALL OF THEIR SHOWS!!!
