Weekend What's What 10/10-10/16

BLAME IT ON THE VAIN

You know global warming is real when the fashion world starts consulting meteorologists for collection advice. That's just what happened this season, with a number of tog-tossers searching the skies to help predict just how many coats or cut-offs to make this year. l'étoile doesn't need a crystal ball to know the climates are changing: the leaves are falling; good friends are leaving and a shift to more worldly pleasures is in the wind. We helped bring the dance party back (boy did we ever!) - just wait to see what we bring you next!

WEDNESDAY OCTOBER 10TH

Burnin’ Up / Adam Garcia's Going Away Party

@ The Dinkytowner
14th & 4th
Dinkytown

10pm / Free

It seems all too frequent lately to be saying sayonara to some of the cities’ bright young talents as they float off to the coasts to seek their fortunes. This week’s émigré? Adam Garcia. Garcia is not only a favorite l'étoile contributor, but an Art Director with Rhymesayers; member of design collective KHS; blogger (Digging for Fire); musician (Snakebird) and an entrepreneur with his own brand, “The Pressure”.

So tonight, join Snakebird, Mike 2600 and Espada for the very last performance by Men of Lesiure before Snakebird flies the coop! Tonight is also the last installment of Burnin' Up, so don’t miss it.

Good luck Adam – l’étoile hearts you!

FRIDAY ART PICK: WILLIAM HUNDLEY

William Hundley is a St. Paul native turned Texan. Hundley’s work is unpredictable, poignant and occasionally comical. His subjects are swathed in beautiful fabrics and photographed mid-air – resulting in abstract, almost alien images. The use of color and texture is clearly thoughtful and vibrant. A Wooster Collective contributor, Hundley also dabbles in installation art, mixed-media, painting, drawing and about every other medium you could name.
