Wearing Whitman's Words Opening Reception @ Lucky Gallery, Red Hook

What a great idea – to design T-shirts with Walt Whitman’s quotes, selections from Leaves of Grass. Exhibition presenting designs  by Friends of Type, Jennifer Heuer, Jessica Hische, Justin Thomas Kay, Pablo A. Medina, Ed Nacional, Meg Paradise, Pillow Fort, and Travis Simon.  Lucky Gallery has a great vibe and the people running it seemed really cool as well. Had a great time meeting them and drinking their Trader Joe’s merlot 😀 Besides wine and food, the people attending the opening could all pick themselves a T-shirt – I got the one designed by  Travis Simon, saying  And henceforth I will go celebrate anything I see or am, And sing and laugh, and deny nothing. Apparently Walt Whitman really was the original Brooklyn hipster. 😀

Douglas Bradford Group @ Tea Lounge

This time with Dan Loomis on bass, Nick Anderson on drums, John Beaty on alto and Douglas with a new (Klein) guitar and some new tunes. New tunes on myspace too, i like it :D. I think some of the compositions are killing. And really cool how John Beaty on alto can take the music even further. Great passionate saxophone playing. Some people in the audience wanted to buy a CD. I would like one too, actually :D. Even though I think they could use a really simple ballad on it as well, in between all that elaborate stuff.

That night, Tea Lounge hangover tea was pretty good too, since I was still half dead from celebrating my birthday the day before.
