What are you looking at? Summer Arts Festival?

June 10, 2011



It is now that much anticipated time of year when the Omaha Summer Arts Festival occurs in the beautiful down side of town. There may be a man selling these flattened critter panimal clocks-

Yes, they are awesome.
What do they look like to you?

1. Lovely, nearly 2-dimensional living cartoon animals
2. Transformimals (look for them in the upcoming Transformer 3!)
3. Roadkill

Well, if you answered correctly (that is, according to my understanding of the artist's vision) you were transported to the magical world of Badly Drawn Boy, if you were incorrect you may have seen the fearsome visage of Lemmy Kilmister of Motorhead (who has not ever been able to set foot in the Omaha area, most recently due to Dallas thunderstorms [incidentally these T-storms may have provided cosmic power to the NBA team, who will soon to be known as the Thunderstorms to acknowledge the power they used to defeat their less ominous sounding nemesis the Miami Heat in the soon-to-be/recently completed NBA finals]).

Back from a night out at the Summer Arts Festival. No panclocks. We did see a cool band called Red Baraat. I took a flashless photo so as not to distract the fine horn section.

Tonight's entertainment looks great too - Mountain Standard Time has a good bluegrass jam groove and Lil' Brian is a kind of hip-hop zydeco badass.

Another beautiful evening - hello, I must be going.
