Let the Jam Begin: Weds Jan 14th: 9:00pm

I am super excited to get this jam on.
I put the word out to my peeps that there was an opportunity to jam on Wedsday, and it has been well recieved. Tonight being Tuesday, I amputting out the rest of the fliers today to get the word out. Roll of Tape: CHECK. New Flyers: CHECK. Warm Jacket: CHECK.

the Drummer Joe responded to a craigslist ad, and sounded great from his Myspace music. Regarding resident bassist, Victor Cornette, I have the utmost faith that we shall rock together. We have played together for 5 years, and have looked forward to getting into the swing of things once again.

The PA system is cooking, and the mic stands will be working overtime. I am so glad to be doing this for our friends here in hoboken. Sure, there are lots of clubs and stuff, but there is little opportunity outside of private facilities to simply jam with friends. I willbe posting photos and vids of Weds once I have them.

Come rock out with us, it's @ 302 Monroe St in Hoboken. 2 blocks from the 2nd street light rail.
9:00pm till wheneva.

"Whole Thing" December 12th & 13th @ The Monroe Center in Hoboken.

Artifications Presents: "Whole Thing", A SHUA Group production. A modern dance performance will take place in Room C304 of the Monroe Center for the Arts in Hoboken, NJ, on Friday December 12^th and Saturday December 13, 2008. Join us for both performances on Friday and Saturday evening at 8pm (Doors open at 7:30pm).

"Whole Thing" is a 50 minute dance production with live instrumentation integrating both movement and action right into the score. Live musicians are integrated into the performance and the physical space as much as the dancers.

"Whole Thing" was choreographed by Joshua Bisset and Laura Quattrocchi of the SHUA Group based in Jersey City, in collaboration with Brooklyn based composer Stephan Cooper. "Whole Thing" is funded in part by a grant from the American Music Center, a Choreographer/Composer grant.

Artifications is a Hoboken based Arts Organization, headed by Roland Ramos whose recent projects include the 2008 Hudson County Art Slam, "Local Works" Art Show, Hoboken Harvest of the Homeless, and assisted in programming the 2008 Hoboken Artist Studio Tour.

LIT -- alt. SoHo Showcase/Party - SAT NOV 22 8p @ 100 grand

OMG!!!!!!!!

Bill Young & Colleen Thomas are at it again!!!!!

8:00pm, Saturday, Nov 22nd, 2008 will bring a brand new modern dance performance from this exquisite group of dancers and artists. In this group, the words "dancers" and "artists" are certainly interchangeable.

I hope all of you who are interested will alert me ASAP if you would like to attend, whats guaranteed to be an amazing evening with me. If you have ever heard me gush about this event, this is your opportunity to see this for yourself.

BT & CT's intuitive style very much changed my outlook on the arts, and continues to fuel my creative viewpoints. At my first performance, i felt that someone had opened up the door on a large party that had been raging for years, and that I had never known about. I really felt like i had my eyesight restored after a long blindness.

The performance will take place @ 100 Grand St, in NYC with VERY LIMITED SEATING!!!!!


I hope to share this feeling with you.
