MOIRA HAHN- PART 1

The vivid watercolor paintings of Moira Hahn have caught our attention recently. The bold colors and patterns endow the artworks with vibrant, pulsating energy. Despite their otherworldly and fantastical veneer, the intense compositions seem to have deep roots in the earthly plane. Animals figure predominantly in many of the pieces, most likely as a totemic connection representing humankind's psyche.



Some of Moira's paintings are influenced by eastern techniques and themes, Ukiyo-e Japanese woodcut styles for example are "remixed". The resulting works are beautiful, intriguing, and saturated with visual narrative and symbolism.
We'll be featuring more about Moira Hahn and her artwork, as well as her upcoming show at Roq La Rue Gallery later this year.

HOLE' MOLE'

If there is anything we absolutely miss about living in Long Beach it's the potato tacos from Hole' Mole', a locally based chain of taquerias. Yes, potato tacos! They also serve breakfast burritos from open to close, and you don't feel like crap after eating them. Of course we miss our friends, but Hole Mole was the last place we ate in the LBC before moving to Seattle. Here is a review written by our friend Jim Hall.

BONKERS!

BONKERS!, Seattle's biweekly arena for fresh hot braindance, moves to Thursday nights beginning April 3rd. Bonkers! features mostly local electronic-based music in an unpretentious environment. Artists featured typically pull from an eclectic cache of musical genres, often blending improvisational qualities via DIY techniques. The resulting mix blurs the lines dividing people of different musical backgrounds, enticing everyone into the dance floor frenzy.
