Exhibitchin’ #01

Cori — Sat, 01 Aug 2009 18:56:26 +0000

We worked on the first live music project in a series for EMP|SFM called ‘Exhibitchin’! It went hand in hand with the EMP|SFM’s Jim Henson exhibit, Jim Henson’s Fantastic Worlds. We held a “Drum Like Animal” competition to great success. Six sets of drum sticks were destroyed as twenty contestants battled for the title of Most Animalistic! DJ Electro Wolf spun all of the dance hits of the last few years, hilarious Muppetized album covers were projected on screen, rubber duckies were traded for drinks, and Dr. Bunsen whirled cotton candy on the dance floor. Later, costumed funk was blasted by Eldridge Gravy and the Court Supreme and then The Saturday Knights blew out the speakers while sending the crowd into lyrical gyrations.

Adventurer Profile- Michael Jackson

Allie — Mon, 29 Jun 2009 13:03:38 +0000

This week, we’re going to forgo our usual Adventurer Profile to memorialize this prodigious and peculiar talent that is no longer with us. Michael Jackson. Since his passing, Aviva has reminisced wistfully on multiple occasions about playing the Thriller album on her Fisher-Price record player at 4 years-old and never looking back. Aviva also had her own single glove that she wore whenever possible. Speaking of which, Michael’s original sequined glove and jacket are now on display at The Experience Music Project. You can find them in The Sky Church, a free area of the museum. Very gracious and inclusive.

To honor The King of Pop, here is a sampling of his colorful and changeable album covers from over the years. RIP, MJ. Over at The Adventure School we’re doing the Thriller dance in your honor.
