Shadow Art Fair this Saturday!
My friend Jay asked me today why it’s called the Shadow Art Fair if it happens before the Ann Arbor fairs every year. I thought for a second and then told him that the sun could be said to come out and shine the most brightly after the fairs are over, so that in relation to the sun hitting the Ann Arbor fairs, the Shadow would fall before them in time. Does that make sense?
It also might have something to do with Ypsi being sort of in Ann Arbor’s shadow. And local, indie artists doing their thing in the shadows.
In any event, it all happens again this Saturday from noon to midnight at the Corner Brewery in Ypsilanti. I’ll be there with Sappycards and the Great Lakes T-shirts and a few other things, and there will be a bunch of new and returning artists with exciting work. Plus music from Black Jake and the Carnies, Lyman Rhodes, Martes Martes, Annie Palmer, and Princess Xanthipe. And lots of great beer.

Your explanation doesn’t make sense to me. Please try again.

Hey, do you know if Pete Larson will have a Bulb records table again by any chance?

I think our email didn’t get to Pete in time and so he missed the deadline for submissions this time around, which sucks cuz Pete/Bulb is awesome.

Argh! I know he’s pretty terrible with email. I just found the site with the listing of artists/vendors and I see VG Kids will be there, so…
I plugged the fair on wcbn this morning - I think I said the Corner Brewery, but I’m not completely sure… Don’t know if it’ll really help, but I try! I try!

Thanks, Erin. We do this on a shoestring budget, so every little bit helps.
