Reminder! Tonight! Things!

tonight is the night. its independence eve!

it has just been confirmed that we have a 100% awesome real life American Revolutionary War Reenactor coming to the Khyber this evening to back up our historical accuracy. the art works all in and we're jazzed! 

like an exorcism, we're going to bring the ghost of patriotism out of your lungs.  by nights end you'll be perched on a rooftop wearing nothing but an american flag screaming "FREEDOM" and "LIBERTY" as if you couldnt control yourself. oh, it will be sweet. when the dust settles and you wipe the last drop of free pbr from your lips, you too will be overcome with MERICA and your heart will be complete. 

‘MERICA

Upstairs @ the Khyber
56 S. 2nd street

also, Lizzy Janssen is having an amazing solo show right down the road at Vagabond in Old City (37 N. 3rd street). Under the influence of muggy summer nights, overgrown weeds, and the lackadaisical comfort of new moons she hands us a collection of drawings, and paintings that are perfect for a glass of lemonade or jumping on a trampoline in the middle of a field. Come soak it all in at vagabond from 6-9.

THIS FRIDAY!!!!! INDEPENDENCE EVE!!!!!!!!

this lovely corner of america (the compound) was politely invited to curate and host an art show in another lovely corner of america (upstairs @ The Khyber) and we lovingly excepted.

come to 56 S. 2nd street this friday night for a once in an evening opportunity to celebrate what we are affectionately calling "independence eve" because we are true patriotic-red-blooded-flag-flying-hippy-hating-thumbs-up-giving-xenophobic heros of the world!

there will be paintings, drawings, and a bunch of other stuff from a bunch of wonderful americans, a few of english girls trying to gain it all back, and absolutely no commies. oh. and if thats not all, theres free beer thanks to the wonderful people at Pabst Blue Ribbon (thanks ya'll!).

so come ring in the greatest day on earth from 7-10, July 3rd! we'll see you there with art on!

FRIDAY!

last Halloween a few of us at the compound dressed up like the golden girls. i was Sofia and i looked disgusting. i feel sorry for you if you were anywhere near me.
this Friday is this Halloween. it's the one time of year that this entire city can be as sexy as it wants to be, drink too much, walk around like an idiot, throw up, start back at the start, and generally make mistakes that they'll shamefully hold on to until the next year.
compound pals emynd and bo are throwing a party at the green warehouse. not only are they two of the most stand up dudes around, their parties are second to none. you'd look like a real asshole if you didn't come out.
we at the compound will be dressing as a rug cutters for this knucklehead.
