Heads up: Music and art Thursday night
Besides the Johnny Holm Band and Identity 5, downtown's got another event Thursday night: A new art exhibit at The Third Street Gallery. Donald Renner is the artist and he's apparently talking about his watercolors at 6:30 p.m. The gallery opens until 8 p.m.Update 1:17 p.m., 9/1/06:I just want to say that the Johnny Holm street dance was awesome. Josh and Maria at Gilly's must've worked their tails off to make this happen and there were actually tons of people there.
Think for a minute how insanely cool that is. Somebody throws a live music event downtown and people didn't ignore it. See this picture for an example of what I mean. The last time I was at a live music event at Gilly's, back when it was known as Babylon's, it was me, about a dozen or so people and hundreds of frickin' crickets. My buddy Jaime actually apologized to the band because we have such a sucky music scene created by sucky music fans who don't show up. Was last night a sign of good things to come? Man, I sure hope so.
The other very cool thing is that the city closed off a section of Third Street for the event. I'm told the city really went out of its way to make the event possible, with police protection and such. Then again, the city probably just sent the usual swarm of men in blue that circles Gilly's every weekend.
Oh, yeah, the Donald Renner exhibit is really sweet so stop by and see it.
It's not just some placid watercolor as the description suggests but these intense and slightly-insane looking creations. Renner, a UND grad, said he paints the background first, pour alcohol on it and lights it on fire, which pushes the colors around as it burns and changes them as well. Then there's some seriously detailed ink drawings on top.
The first series of paintings is a mishmash of eyeballs and teeth and, in some of them, cartoonish breasts. Renner said he believes we are all part of a greater whole and yet there's this disturbing disconnect that allows us to fight one another, which explains how freaky the images look.
The second series is a human anatomy lesson: blood vessels in a hand, muscles in a foot, a fetus with little sperm like things bearing ideological symbols.
I took some photos and will post them soon.
Note to Mike: Thanks for talking up my prowess at the gym in front of the ladies! I'll have to return the favor one of these days.
Update 11:10 p.m., 9/4/06:As promised, photos are below:
Johnny Holm Band rocks the crowd. If you weren't there, you missed out.

5 will get you 3...K that is. Get your tickets to the downtown party featuring Johnny Holmes ahead of time today and get entered into the drawing highlighed by a $3,000 ring being given away by Classic Jewelers. Don't forget about the other prizes that are also being given away - we'll see you downtown!!
Here's the problem with Grand Forks: they will show up to a sub-par, old fart (Johnny Holm) but won't show up to other music events. For some reason, JH has a huge following here, and I can't for the life of me figure it out. Is it because he's been playing the UND Memorial Ballroom for decades?
Perhaps we need to get these other bands to hit the Union Ballroom so they can get the much needed non-toxicated identification, so they can then later move on to the bars downtown and get the more intoxicated exposure.
