I'm psyched for a couple of reasons. First, we're sharing the stage with Kevin McCalix, a friend of mine. I haven't gotten to hear him play in ages. Second, I want to see the art.
The painting above caught my eye while I perused her press release for the event. It's part of a whole series, “Pollos del Pueblo," featuring chickens that wander around familiar Tucson scenes. I like all the Pollos paintings, but this one particularly made me grin. There's something about the expression on the face of the chicken in the foreground. "Hi. I'm a chicken. Why am I in front of the Rialto? What am I doing here?"
I've had days like that.
Anyhow, the opening reception is Saturday, September 26, from 6 to 9 p.m., at Gallery 801, 801 North Main, Tucson, Arizona. There will be hors d’oeuvres and samplings of award-winning wines. You should go. It will be fun.

I think it rocks! That chicken in front of the rialto. Very humorous, but nicely executed.
Are you a painter too?
I am so not!
How can we find out about your gigs? I thought I submitted my email to Cider-Bridge, but I didn't receive any notice about this Saturday's gig.
Love the painting. Does he have an online gallery?
Oh. Never mind. I'll try clicking on the painting before I ask a question like that again.
...and I parsed the post wrong, too! I read Kevin McCalix as the artist. More coffee, Dave...else no AM blog comments...
Jannie: I thought you'd appreciate that painting! I was kind of not bad at drawing when I was a kid, but gave up on trying to improve in seventh grade. I'd have to work hard just to get back to where I was when I was 10, I think.
EJ: That's strange. We definitely wouldn't have left you off the list on purpose. Shoot your e-mail address to susan@cinderbridge.com, and I'll add it. (P.S. We're playing at the same place on Sunday, Oct. 4, from around 4:30 to 6.)
Dave: Now that you've found the link, did you catch Chickens at the No-Tel? I go past the No-Tel Motel whenever I ride home from work on my bike, and I love how she got the lettering on the signage exactly right.
