Will Christianson 1990-2008

A memorial service was held today at the Moorestown Friends Meeting House for Will Christianson, a recent graduate of Moorestown High School.

Will’s interests in art and music drew him to openings and performances at Space 1026. His sharp wit and outgoing personality made him popular amongst members and his presence was always welcome. He was a friend to many of us and he will be missed.

SHODDY PUPPET COMPANY (Leslie Rogers, Lucy Schneider, Michelle Posadas and Morgan F.P. Andrews) premieres “The Soldier & The Phoenix,” a toy theater fable with accordion accompaniment about a soldier’s memories of boyhood, a boy’s quest for chicken hearts, and a chicken’s desire for flight.

F!%* Yeah Fest Tour 08′ Chicago!!!

Philadelphia and Chicago!!!
Hi! it’s max and delilah helloring from Chicago. If you are in the windy city, come hang out with us at the Stan Mansion – 2408 N Kedzie -Chicago , IL or check the website at the empty bottle!

Thank you Danielle and Travis for coming out and making an awesome installation for the st. louis show. Danielle, I cant believe you let 28 stinky people sleep at the studio and im glad we were able to save your building from burning down…I almost forgot, Bill McRight!!!!!!!, congratz on getting engaged, on being one of Juxtapose’s profiled artists this month, as well as doing a really amazing job with the hand drawn typography on the front and back covers of Swindle magazine. Your so modest i know you would never say shit about any of that and i can see you blushing now!

Ok, back to F!!! Yeah Business.Check out daily video postings of the tour at video thing dot com

Check out a short video i took in austin of Matt and Kim here

NEXT FRIDAY , the 11th
The tour will be in philadelphia at the starlight ballroom. Check out the lineup featuring Circle Jerks, Dillinger Four, Matt & Kim, Paint it Black, Monotonix & Team Robespierre… and a special performance by Cars Will Burn!!! Check out the r5 website here! for more information about the show.

Finally
I would also like to let people know about a lesser known band that we are on tour with who are truly inspirational. Crystal Antlers hails from Long Beach CA and are one the gnarliest grrrock bands i have heard in a long time. After 5 days with them, my slick hairless chest has begun to sprout a bit of manhood and i have them to thank. I have posted a partial mp3 of one of their songs here , the 6 song ep is not available online or digitally anywhere legally so support the band and buy their cdr’s from their myspace page here!!!

Also, if you have never had the pleasure of seeing MONOTONIX! perform, please go to the philly show and engulf yourself in our tel aviv brothers energy. i promise you will not be disappointed. It has been a truly GG Allen – Charles Manson – transcendental experience for me to see their performances (minus the poop throwing and angry overdosing that comes with a GG Allen show).

and purchase your limited edition tour poster designed and printed by Space1026 very own Alex Lukas here!

Delilah – Fort Worth

Delilah working the merch table at the 1912 Space. Super rad place. 1912 is a non – profit geared toward helping the Fort Worth Youth by having a place to have all ages events so the kids dont resort to catcing cats and dogs on fire for fun. awesome people, so much fun!

Austin – Bridge After Party

Austin – The Bridge

This is a blurry flick of the austin after party that was held on a bridge facing the train tracks and the city of austin. The party thrower brought out a generator with a PA and crystal antlers performed as well as other bands. There were alot of good looking – overly well dressed people there so i left to find some ugly – poorly dressed people downton. It made myself feel alot better about not shopping at american appearal.

Austin – Main Show

Austin – Main Show

this is another blurry flick from matt and kim playing in austin at the main show. kids love em!
