Lots of insanity going on this month. Check it out:

Bus Parties to BOOMBOX - 4/24, 4/25, 4/26:

BoomBox is hooking it up for us with this run, and we're doing FULL ON BUS PARTY RAGERS to all 3 of their CO shows (see calendar below). If you don't know BoomBox, they throw the funkiest dance parties imaginable. Check their website at www.thisisboombox.com for a link to my article on them, which was published in this month's issue of Marquee Magazine (or just pick it up when you see one).

Also, The Fox and BoomBox have hooked up tickets for 4/24 at The Fox in Boulder, so if you're going, HIT ME UP FOR TICKETS! They are 10 bucks (same as face without service fee), and 2 bucks from each sale goes to TBF. So sick...so so sick! Also the Fox is about to start hooking us up by announcing all of our trips to their venue on their website. This is going to be huge for us, so please be sure to give them your love. Bring your canned food, too, cuz all 3 shows are Conscious Alliance events.


AUTONOMIC - 4/26 (TBF Benefit Concert/Party):

Sauce Promotions is hooking up a phatty benefit for us at Spot Rock Climbing gym on 4/26 called AUTONOMIC. 850+ people. Live music, body painting, poetry, Avery Beer, Vodka 14. Performances by CHILL FANTASTIC, EZKL and THE WICKED WON from SIGNAL PATH, PICTURE PLANE, and OTEM RELLIK. Poetry between sets by OLATUNDJI AKPO-SANI, ROB GEISEN, KEN ARKIND, AMY EVERHEART, and our very own TBF Sponsored Artists, JONSON KUHN and ELIZA BOOTE (appearing as Cowgirl Boote and her Bitter Buffalo). This party is also a celebration of our newest sponsored artist, YURI ZUPANCIC, who is a visual artist out of Lawrence, Kansas. His work will be featured in the gallery at The Spot, and he will be body-painting one of the nude models with his design. Additionally, we will get to check out some live painting and/or body painting by artists, ERIC MATELSKI, RACHEL COLE, NOELLE KOEPPE, and HUNTER DAMIANI (who will be painting the lovely ALEX GELLER). This party is going to go off!

There will be a shuttle from downtown Boulder to the venue, as well as from Balch Fieldhouse after MEDESKI, MARTIN, and WOOD. Also, The Worland Warriors Bus, which will be taking people to the BOOMBOX show at Hodi's in Fort Collins that night, will drop people by to catch the late night festivities as an after party. This thing is going to go till 4AM.
