Weekend What's What 10/22-10/27

LE'AWESOME

We can't think of a much more specific theme to the weekend aside from just plain AWESOME. Killer parties, mucho dancing, fantastical art (including a new gallery) along with plenty of rockin', rollin', and even some crazy puppetry to go around. Next weekend is Halloween, and that's a whole 'nother story (in fact, look for a huge guide from us come Monday), but this weekend certainly holds enough tricks and/or treats to inspire multiple costume changes!

FRIDAY ART PICK: .FAUST COMMISSIONED ART

Here at l'étoile, we have a major literary crush on Faust – anyone who sells their soul to the devil in exchange for better smarts is OK in our book. So, when we heard about a collaboration of Faust Comics created by local artists and inspired by classic and fantastic array of Faust legends, we almost geeked ourselves to death. Each week leading up the opening of the Sandbox Theater's production of .faust at the Red Eye Theatre November 6th, one “graphic novella” will be released on Sandbox Theater's website. The first piece in circulation, “The Summoning” is the tale of Faust summoning Mephistopheles from the forest floor, and features art by Joel Vollmer, color assist from Dave Wheeler and story by Ryan Hill. Other issues include stunning, original and never before viewed art from Jessica Boire, Andres Guzman and l'étoile pal and creative dabbler, Max Lohrbach. So cool!!!

FRIDAY OCTOBER 23RD

@ Weisman Art Museum
333 E. River Pkwy
Minneapolis

5-8 pm / free

Generous NYC art collectors Dorothy and Herbert Vogel donated over 2000 works to the National Museum, who in turn launched a program distributing the extensive art collection to 50 art institutions across 50 states. The Vogels were avid collectors who lived and breathed art; their story was so engaging, in fact, that it even inspired a documentary, which will also be on view at the Weisman through the run of the show. A relatively middle class couple who made art collecting their obsession, this exhibit -- and the fascinating story behind it -- will surely inspire you to re-think the common notion of "I can't afford to collect art." The exhibit features minimalist and conceptual works by such renowned artists as Will Barnet, Robert Barry, Lisa Bradley, Charles Clough, Mark Kostabi, Michael Lucero, Lucio Pozzi, Barbara Schwartz, and Richard Tuttle, among others. The most interesting pieces, however, are extremely personal. The Vogels forged close friendships with the artists they collected, resulting in works created specifically for the couple such as portraits, birthday cards and more. So, head to the Weisman tonight for the opening reception, hear more about the Vogels, rub elbows with other art appreciators, sip a wine, nibble a cheese, and absorb some awesome visual art courtesy of two seriously inspiring art lovers. The exhibit title To Have It About You is a direct quote from Dorothy Vogel herself, a simple statement that so aptly sums up why we love art. To have art about us on a daily basis is such an amazing gift!

BONUS: Join l'étoile at 7 pm for the first ever l'étoile Field Trip group outing at the Weisman followed by a cocktail romp at the 501 Club for the “Be Excellent to Each Other” event (which we'll tell you all about below). Don't forget to stick to the buddy system!

FRIDAY OCTOBER 23RD

Be Excellent to Each Other

@ 501 Club
501 Washington Avenue S.
Minneapolis

7pm / 21+ / Free

We're really digging the nostalgically endearing title of this benefit event. "Benefit event?" you ask? "Yes" we answer. But make no mistake, this is far from the stodgy, high priced benefits you're used to reading about. Tonight at the 501 Club "gamers, bikers, gutter punks, hipsters, art geeks, urban crafters, and all other burgeoning philanthropists" are invited to party it up in the name of Children's Hospitals and Clinics of Minnesota and Child's Play, a national charitable organization that provides video games and systems for children's hospitals. And aptly, the main event of the evening focuses on video games...and rocking out! Watch local bands and other hip groups you know and love play competitive rounds of Rock Band, live on stage, with Transmission's DJ Jake Rudh spinning in between "sets." Also on task for your entertainment are performances by the Minnesota Rollergirls as well as some of your fave local bands (the secret lineup will be posted on the website prior to the event). How does this constitute a benefit, you ask? Well, drink up, kids. A portion of the bar proceeds will go directly to the deserving charities, and a totally awesome silent auction will ensue with items from local businesses such as ROBOTlove and Game Informer Magazine, as well as original art by local artists, video games, and even original pages from the latest run of the Green Lantern comic book and much, much more. With a lineup like this, we're quite tempted to say that this "benefit" is more of a benefit to us than to the organizations in question! Be there, we will!

BONUS: Join l'étoile at 7 pm for the first ever l'étoile Field Trip group outing at the Weisman for the "To Have it About You" opening (see info in the post above), then follow us over to the 501 Club for "Be Excellent." We do love a good posse.

SUNDAY MUSIC PICK: MORTICIA

An oldie but goodie from the vaults of the Minneapolis 1980s goth rock scene, just in time for Halloween! "In 1987, independent record label Channel 83 signed the band to record their first full length LP, Mortal Fear. Joining Jodie Tanaka and Matt Bachelor were androgynous bass player extraordinare Chrystopher Winter and Carmilla Casquette on lead guitar. Morticia live performances started with Jodie’s emergence from a custom built coffin, and would end with Matt’s trademark drum solo, during which he set his kit on fire and breathe and blow flames." The video for "Voyeur" was shot at the Faust Adult Cinema in Saint Paul days before it was torn down.

Fun fact: Jodie from Morticia is l'étoile editor Kate Iverson's cousin!

GUEST BLOGGER: A TINY MACHINE

Just in time for Halloween, Beth Hammarlund reviews the hard-to-find and super terrifying Zombie flick, Pontypool.

I've been waiting to see Pontypool forever. After reading all of the reviews, trying to find a copy in a local video store, ordering an over-priced DVD from an online seller (that I'm convinced is hoarding the all the world's copies), and checking my mailbox every day for its arrival, I was certain that I'd built the movie up so much in my head that there was no way it couldn't be a total disappointment. Fortunately, and as is often the case, I was wrong. Pontypool is awesome.

GUEST BLOGGER: LE PETIT CONNAISSEUR

Jahna Peloquin checks in on one of our favorite local designers, Annie Larson a.k.a. Swank Dollar.

I am loving the knitting work local designer Annie Larson (Swank Dollar) has been doing lately. Annie says on her blog: "Nearly all of Joy's outfit was created on the knitting machine with cotton and acrylic yarns. The dress she is wearing underneath the sweater was made last winter and crawled out of the closet this morning."
