a rockin' concert for a rockin' good cause...

remember the invitation that i extended to come out to support my friend Joanna in her move to Africa to be a teacher and aid-worker? well here's something else you can do to help her out while listening to some great music by Reneaus and Jubalson...come on out tomorrow night (Friday, June 17th) to the Bard's Town @ 1801 Bardstown Rd. around 9:30pm... it's $5 at the door (or more, if you feel so inclined to give) and it all benefits Joanna's efforts for Africa! below are some photos of the art show that i participated in a few weeks ago...see these kinds of events are always lots of fun so COME!

color inspiration : africa's gain

found out my dear friend Joanna is moving to Ethiopia (which seems to be a hot spot for my friends lately) for two years teach kids from a missionary family...our loss is a great gain for Africa... if you'd like to help her out with raising money and nab a cool piece of art from a local artist for yourself, come on out to the new Java Brewing Company on Bardstown Road starting MAY 28th and buy some art by a bunch of our local artist friends and me...i'll get a post up soon of what i'm contributing ...the show will go on display May 28th... during her time in Kentucky she's definitely made a mark as a barista and art teacher, artist, photographer, musician and hospitable hostess with the mostest... but perhaps most importantly, Joanna has been a great friend to many including Posies & Plume, helping out with photo shoots and setting up wedding decor... she will be missed a lot! i'm telling you, she's awesome and will be a huge blessing to the missionary family she will be serving so come out and support her on May 28th! see facebook invite here
