Print Lottery: Righteous closing show/party/event!
11AM ON

This Saturday is pretty packed with stuff to do, and I understand how easy it is to get distracted/side-tracked/drunk. But stay focused, friend! Because the AS220’s FIRST Biennial Print Lottery Show comes to a dramatic close Saturday, September 27th, 7pm @ 115 Empire Street. It’s kind of early in your sinful evening, so you’ll still have a chance to get married or whatever at Woolly Fair and since you’re not going to bother going to the RISD Museum Chace Center grand opening anyway, that won’t be a conflict.
So! Come to the Print Lottery closing, buy a ticket for $75 if you can, and take home an awesome surprise print as a gift! From 7-10pm prints will be handed out like candy, CAKE WILL BE SERVED (for real this time) we’ll have free booze too (i THINK), but anyway there will definitely be something to put in your mouth, and from 10pm-1am some BANDS will play. How jealous are you?
Buy your ticket online right this second in realtime!!

The folks over at the Partnership for Creative Industrial Space are psyched about the hearing on their Ordinance tomorrow:
The Industrial Commercial Buildings District (ICBD) Tenant Relocation Ordinance is scheduled for Public Hearing Monday, March 3, 2008 at 6:00 pm in Providence City Hall.
This ordinance - a call to developers of rehabilitation projects to recognize the hardship of tenant displacement and the negative impact on the local community and economy - will enact a policy within the ICBD where commercial tenants can receive a financial stipend and at least 90 days notice of termination regardless of the terms of a lease.

Well! Classes for February filled up so fast I didn’t really have time to post the schedule, but March is well on it’s way and there’s still room in most of the classes!! I’m only going to post the classes that have space left, but you can see what you’re missing out on in the calendar. Also, there is now a $10 general shop materials fee included in the cost of the classes. Regardless of the fee, some outside supplies may be required. Our official site is here. Myspace here.

Good questions, Beth. I think royalties should be due songwriters/performers when their own (recorded) song is played--without exception--and when...
about The $17,000 Candy Bar or… Irish Guys Like Reggae?
