Howdy, readers. Some real treats inside this week’s paper: First off is a cover story about Dave Kannensohn who, at 95, is probably Charlottesville’s oldest performing musician, and a genuinely nice guy; a Feedback column local novelist Emma Rathbone’s great debut novel, The Patterns of Paper Monsters, will be released August 9; and a review of Steve Carell’s new flick, Dinner for Schmucks. (Can you guess who plays the schmuck?)
Do you hate tuning into WTJU looking for baroque classics only to find that somebody’s playing brutal Israeli punk? Now you can get the shows you like, when you like them through the station’s nifty new Tape Vault, which allows archived shows to be played two weeks beyond their original air date.
Speaking of nifty stuff, Second Street Gallery announced a call for contributions for a show called "10 x 10 x 10." Would you guess that it’s showing in October? Local artists are asked to "create work using materials procured within a 10-mile radius, spending just $10, and taking no more than 10 days to complete the project." Does Coca-Cola count, if it was bottled locally? No matter—there’s plenty of more pertinent info on the gallery’s blog.
What are some local artmaking materials?
