likethebeerThat's the name of the show, yo.
Today was just as satisfying as Fri. and Sat. night. A steady stream of people came through all day. The Swiss Miss were lagging and I've got a picture of 3 of the SM totally leaning on their arms at around 3pm today (we were open from 12-5). That photo is behind the cut.
We met some former Catholic School graduates who were in town for a class reunion. In their 60s, probably. One woman (who could have really been a friend of my mom) was saying that when she was in school, the convent was this mysterious place and to finally see it was a secret revelation (ok, my words; I can't remember exactly what she said).
For this reason, we momentarily turned off the computer screen with hardcore porn images. We realized we had the "afterchurch" crowd. We also had 3 pre-adolscent boys come through and I'm sure they were lookin' for boobs, 'coz they spent a lot of time there. Damn kids!
Someone else said that they were in Spring Green and heard someone say, "Have you been to The Convent?"
Ok, I'll only inundate you with 6-7 photos.
Graphics by nadine_a.
ok, so I'm stealing off of our own site. Fucking shoot me.
The outside of The Convent, with mda.
The room where we served drinks, food. The scarves on the left are by a woman that wi_c and another of the Swiss Misses, RS, work with. On the right is this awesome dress made out of upholstery fabric w/these cool buttons (a friend of RS's). The same guy who did that made these amazing metal sculptures that are articulated and resemble coffins or animals (those are on some shelves in the photo--FUCK I should have gotten those close-up).
A skateboard installation piece. I don't want to think about how many nails the guy used.
Another installation in the basement. Same artist. These are nails. I guess I really like his work. I can't really say why, though.
A photo with one of nadine_a's pieces in the background on the left. She got totally jazzed because she was walking around and heard someone say, "Look, there's another Nadine_a" (substitute her real name, a'course). I really wish I'd gotten her piece to come out a little lighter. I've got at least a few photos of her work, but I'm sure I missed some of them. mda really likes these wood/metal sculptures.
An installation in the basement with these anime/comicbook silkscreened girls with big boobs and guns. The bench was made by the bf of another Swiss Miss, EB (our accordianist). Apparently it's "a permanent installation" because it's so damned heavy.
Nadine_a with pink ruffle butt panties, followed by jujupees in same. I just realized how the difference in size between these photos makes the two women look like a 12" and 18" versions of Barbie dolls next to each other. I mean that in a good way.
Tired Swiss Miss
There are many, many spaces that I've not shown at all. I've only started looking at the photos of them and I'm as tired as fuck (I've been so all day--wtf am I doing up right now?). Our plan is to put them up on www.culturechurn.com and when we do, I'll send the URL.

Date: 2005-10-17 04:42 pm (UTC)I love the pictures of the installations. And, having visited many convents in my day, I have to say that this is quite a transformation. For instance, where's the room with all of the recliners and the big TV? ;) :):):)
