Stage84 / "Live Art" - Carlos Solano


On Wednesday I went to my first WeMerge Wednesdays event, held once a month, at Stage84 in Davie. It was AWESOME. Carlos Solano was there giving us some live painting as seen above. There was also a spoken poet by the name of Deborah Magdalena, stand up comedian Pam Bruno, and photography by Rabid Rabbit Studio.

Two young musicians and a father did some covers that were phenomenal. I was taking photos of Carlos when they started a cover of Metallica, and I heard the badass vocals. I turn around and the dude singing is FIFTEEN! The bassist is around the same age. I spoke with the singer/lead guitars father, and gave them some t-shirts. I will be trying to work with them in the future.

Dixie Cups / "Schacknow"

"Schacknow Gallery"

The opening reception for the Pen & thInk show was interesting. We had a good mix of wine [served in Dixie cups], belly-dancing, inappropriate stand up, and Chinese food. I doubt I will ever have another opening reception quite like this one. The picture above is my setup; complete with paper labels.
