This crazy awesome event happened tonight. Mr. Andy Sturdevant and the Works Progress crew invited me to participate in their monthly Salon Saloon. What you see here is a clip from our rehearsal yesterday. What a great time - I recommend you check out the next one!
Salon Saloon: The Baseball Show is live in less then 5 hours.
Above, singer/songwriter Nikki Schultz previews a haunting cover of CCR’s “Centerfield” at rehearsal yesterday morning. Goosebumps y’all. Also in the lineup: Michael “Art Happy Hour” Fallon on baseball and aesthetics, artist Megan Vossler on the evolution of the Twins uniform (1961-2010) and growing up with a dad in the minor leagues, the author of “The End of Baseball” Peter Schilling, and the unofficial blogger (2004-2007) for the Minnesota Twins herself, Batgirl blogger Anne Ursu (now on Twitter!). Also featuring artwork by Kristina Fong & Sally Mars.
The weather looks YUK but we’re playing in a covered stadium tonight so come on down to the Bryant Lake Bowl Theater and check out the unexpected artistic side of America’s favorite pastime.
