Crawlspace sightings!

You can spot improv comedy favorites Crawlspace Eviction in a free performance this weekend, in support of a great cause, the Open Door/Next Door Shelters. Their “Celebration of Partnership” Event will be held at the First Presbyterian Church on Bronson Park in downtown Kalamazoo on Sunday, April 20, from 1 to 4 p.m. In addition to the comedy performance, they'll have food and drinks and a silent auction to benefit the shelters. Open Door/Next Door provides shelter and many support services for homeless young men and women in Kalamazoo County, and it's a great cause. Learn more and enjoy the comedy show on Sunday!

Crawlspace--which, as you know, includes Gull Lake's Adam Carter--will also perform two shows at the Whole Art Studio, 246 N. Kalamazoo Mall, at 8 p.m. May 16 and 17. This one, "Business Casual Sex," promises to be a bit more adult-oriented than the April 20 show. Tickets are $7 for students, $10 for all others.

Juggling the PAF meeting

Alert! Alert! As it seems we must from time to time--more often than we'd like--we need to change the monthly Performing Arts Foundation meeting for March from March 13 to March 20. It's still a Thursday, it's still at the Richland Area Community Center, but we're also going to meet earlier, at 5 p.m. So, to review: We will NOT meet on March 13; we WILL meet on Thursday, March 20, at 5 p.m. at RACC. To look on the plus side, perhaps some folks who can't make it to our usual time will be able to join us this month.

Meanwhile, do not forget the following upcoming events featuring local friends:

Friday, March 14 at 8 p.m.: Improv comedy troupe Crawlspace Eviction gives a benefit performance for KNOW, the Kalamazoo Non-Violent Opponents of War, and the Department of Peace and Nonviolence campaign at the Fetzer Center Auditorium at Western Michigan University. Admission is $15, $7 for students.

Saturday, March 22, 5 to 11 p.m.: Ten bands perform at the Richland Area Community Center, 9400 East CD Avenue. Admission is $8.

Hope to see you at one or more of these three events!

March! You heard me!

You go out of town for one second and things start happening and then it's March already. There will be more to follow, but for now, please put the following on your calendar and MARCH yourself over there at the appropriate times.

First of all, on Friday, March 14 at 8 p.m., our favorite improv comedy troupe Crawlspace Eviction is giving a benefit performance for KNOW, the Kalamazoo Non-Violent Opponents of War, and the Department of Peace and Nonviolence campaign at the Fetzer Center Auditorium at Western Michigan University. Admission is $15, $7 for students.

Then, on Saturday, March 22, from 5 to 11 p.m., ten, count 'em, 10 bands will be performing at the Richland Area Community Center, 9400 East CD Avenue, right here in Richland. That's ten bands for one low admission of $8. You actually can't afford to miss it. Scheduled to play: I See Stars, Rising Vacancy, La Dispute, From A Standpoint, Oshtemo, What Happened In Vegas, Doombringer, With Wings of Lead, The Skies Revolt, and Enormousaurus.

Okay, that's enough for you to be getting on with. Spring into action!

November so soon!

And once again we find ourselves launched into a month full of eventful happenings. No excuse for sitting at home for even one moment. By the way, we've all missed our fleeting chance to see Flosstradamus this month, unless we find ourselves in various east coast cities, Canada, or London or Paris. Congrats to the lads! We'll have to get over to Chicago to catch them when they return from this fantastic tour. But, meanwhile, we can recommend some fab events closer to home . . .

November 4, Sunday: All-Star Poetry & Fiction Reading, concert and party to benefit the NTAF Great Lakes Bone Marrow Transplant Fund in honor of Julie Moulds Rybicki. Featuring the poetry and fiction of some of our greatest local writers, including Conrad Hilberry, Bonnie Jo Campbell, Bill Olsen, Nancy Eimers, Jack Ridl, Jackie Bartley, Rodney Torreson, Diane Seuss, David Lee, Elizabeth Kerlikowske, Andy Mozina, Danna Ephland, Gail Martin, Greg Rappleye, Nina feirer, Dave Marlatt, Susan Ramsey, John Rybicki and Julie Moulds Rybicki--some of whom you'll recognize as not just local in a general way but actually from our Richland neighborhood. Music will be provided by Richlander Dave Marlatt and the Rambling Boys of Pleasure as well as American roots acoustic music by Solid Geometry. There will also be a silent auction of arts, crafts and signed books. Sunday at the Kraftbrau, 402 East Kalamazoo Avenue, 3 - 7:30 p.m., $5.

November 8, Thursday: Performing Arts Foundation meeting, 6:30 p.m. at the Richland Area Community Center. All are invited!

November 9 and 10, Friday and Saturday: Crawlspace Eviction celebrates the most glorious sketches from their archives in Crawlspace Eviction's Greatest Hits. Don't miss the fun as our pal Adam Carter and the rest of the improv comedy gang reprise all of your faves. 8 p.m. at the Whole Art Studio 246, 246 N. Kalamazoo Mall, admission $7 for students, $10 for adults.
