Exhibitchin’ #01 Eldridge Gravy & The Court Supreme, EMP, EMP|SFM, Exhibitchin', The Saturday Knights, The Stranger

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- Aaron Huffman Aaron Huffman, Adventurer Profile, The Stranger

I’d like to learn to play the piano, but I doubt I ever will.

Sushi and margaritas.

Bugs! I hate bugs.

Wigs usually bring out the best in many a partygoer, although I usually prefer to stand back and watch from a safe distance.

The City & The City, by China Mieville, which I’m about half-way through right now.

Someplace with lots of nooks and crannies, different places to gather, things to look at and discuss (art and such). I’m sure that no matter how many choices there are, people would likely end up in the kitchen anyway. Also, it should be directly adjacent to a beach. And it it should have a hot tub.

Much more self-indulgent. The evil me would buy even more guitars and drink a lot more expensive bourbon.

What gives you confidence?

New clothes. Is that shallow?

Music, lots of people I know, some kind of alcohol I’ve never tried before, and an hour-long drunken conversation about how great [insert name of dead/retired rock band here] were.

A little effort in the food department. A great hors d’oeuvre, even just some good cheese, can make all the difference.

Favorite adventure supply?

The perfect bag. The smallest one I can get away with.

This isn’t exactly a single party, but earlier this year we went down to Sayulita for a friend’s 40th birthday. The ten of us ate street food, sat on the beach, basked in the heat, and drank tequila and watery beer late into the night. All the elements of a great party, spread out over the better part of a week.

Hotel room or campsite?

I’d love to be able to say campsite, but I really am a hotel room kind of person. It doesn’t have to be luxurious, but I am partial to indoor plumbing.

David Bowie, but I’m not nearly brave enough to pull off any sort of Bowie-esque outfit.

Vienna, followed by Bruges and Zurich, in September!

Making a French Dip sandwich. It’s the only thing I’ve perfected.

Your motto?

Just because you can doesn’t mean you should.

Anything that moves really slow and spends all of its time either eating, sleeping, or sitting in a tree.
