A Monkey Tile Retrospective
On Friday, November 9th, Commencement Bay Coffee will host a retrospective exhibit of monkey tiles from the last three years. What monkey tiles? The 100th Monkey tiles of course.
In addition… David Derickson will show “Monkey with a Camera” and “Chaos into Order”. David’s video “Monkey with a Camera” features six local artists presenting the 100th Monkey concept. It was originally shown at the Barefoot Studio monkey party. “Chaos into Order” is of course about the performance Chaos into Order from Art on the Ave.
Here’s a little 100th Monkey trivia – Who made the first 100th Monkey Tile, and who provided the music entertainment?
Where & When
Friday, November 9th from 7:00 to 9:00 pm
Commencement Bay Coffee
2354 Jefferson Avenue

A couple weeks ago I saw posters for two events this weekend—one was at a church and the other may have been at a church too. At any rate, both were choral music and neither was the Christmas Revels (which really should be called the Solstice Revels). Does anyone know of any choral group performances this weekend? I’d really like to go to some.

Natalie:
Two chances to see The Messiah: Friday, Tacoma Symphony and Chorale,at St. Charles Borromeo (sp?). Or, if you want to driver further, on Saturday night the Bremerton Symphony and Chorale.

(That would be “drive further”)

Actually, Jamie, it’s drive “farther.” Farther refers to distances, further to more abstract concepts like pushing an argument further.
In case you really wanted to know …

Neat, an English lesson! (But how do you know that I wasn’t talking about Ken Kesey’s bus?)
E Erik Hanberg December 12, 2007
Then it would most certainly be appropriate. As in, Hey Key, let me drive further today. I want to go out to the glo in the dark forest and have some LSD and be a merry prankster again.

Thanks for the notice, Jamie. And, technically, wouldn’t you say, “Hey Ken, let me drive Further today.” Surely Ken had enough respect for Further (or, if you prefer, Furthur) that he addressed it, even in his LSD-laced hallucinations with a big, floating, irridescent F. (By the way, a good friend of mine grew up next to the Kesey Kompound in Pleasant Hill and is a friend of Kesey’s son, Zane.)
