Please help a local friend and musician.

2009-01-24T05:34:24Z

Long time local musician, Shaun Leonard, also known by many as Shaun Cox, is in need of our help. She has been hospitalized recently with a relapse of AML, which is a type of Leukemia that hits hard and fast. The doctors have told her that without treatment, she has very little time left to live.

She has been accepted into a treatment program in Seattle with a treatment that could save her. It is an extremely expensive treatment and Shaun is without insurance. She is receiving some assistance, but we don't know how much or soon and time is against us.

We are raising the money needed to get Shaun this desperately needed treatment. Our goal is just under a million dollars. Seems like a lot, but we know we can do it, and here's how:

Sean has a wonderful CD of her music called "The Woman I See" which is available at the link below download for only $9.99. Please download her music and forward this to everyone you know.

Looking for a ride from Boise to Eugene or Portland OR

2009-01-03T23:20:32Z

Hi Boise,
I am looking to see if anyone is heading to Eugene or Portland OR on or about Jan 9-10 2009. I am actually traveling to do some work in Eugene, OR from Jan 11-21 setting up a new Lowes and I am in need of a ride. If you are heading to Portland I can catch a greyhound to Eugene for fairly cheap. If you are heading to Eugene that is even better. I can offer a great conversation and/or gas money if you are available. Please email me at amangielangomat@yahoo.com if available. I have some friends in the Eugene area I will be staying with while I am there.

-or-

I will also be looking for a ride from Eugene or Portland on Jan 22-23 back to Boise. Locations can vary, as I have no problem getting the rest of the way as long as I am somewhere close.

Thanks
Tom Cox

Looking for a home for me and my little dog

2008-12-20T08:57:04Z

I'm back in Boise for good and wanting to rent/house sit ~
Got any leads? I'd love to follow up on them!

Looking for something within walking/biking distance from downtown Boise and the buses. Preferably with a little grass close by for Molly Bean to 'use' (I'm a fastidious dog owner who ALWAYS picks up!) and with rent around the $400.00 range. I'm not picky and I don't have much stuff... so a studio or 1 bedroom would be perfect.

I'm also a clean, respectful woman, so if you have a house sitting situation, I'm open to that too.

Just want someplace cozy to call 'home'!

Blessings~

'Last of the Breed' at BCT

2008-04-25T16:31:20Z

I went to a play last night at Boise Contemporary Theater that was one of the funniest things I've watched in a LOOOONG time!
And I highly recommend everyone going!

It's written by Maria Devanna Headly (hope I'm spelling her name correctly) who grew up in Marsing. Starring Glen Hughes, one of my favorite people on and off stage! It's about a 'wild man' who's trying to keep his land from the developers of a huge resort. The characters are stereotypical, (I felt that's the way it was meant to be portrayed), but the actors still bring hilarious quirks and fullness to each one. Bravo!

Be prepared for much language and some non-pc jokes, but if you're not a prude, you'll laugh!
They're running the show through next weekend and tickets are selling quick.

Just want to invite everyone out to see a great musician tomorrow FREE at the Record Exchange at 7pm.
He's just passing through and is stopping to do a show here - so it'd be wonderful if there is a crowd!
If you aren't familiar with his music, he was the front man in Soul Coughing and is now doing his solo thing...

www.mikedoughty.com

I've got a video of his on my profile - his plea to end the war.
He DJs at the Knitting Factory in NYC too, and hopefully soon, we can bring him back to Boise for a show and after party!!!

Hope to see some of you there!

Snow Dance April 18 at the bucket!

2008-04-16T16:20:59Z

Snow Dance this Friday at the Bucket! $5 to get in, six djs, full bar!

This is a fundraiser for Snow Dance, an art installation being brought to the playa this year as a tribute to Brad Peterson. Who died this winter skiing at Brundage.

Imagine a field of skis, 100 feet long, 30 feet wide, rising from the flat and desolate playa. A path leads to clearing in the ski forest, where two benches invite you to sit. Brads' skis, his helmet and boots stand in the middle of the clearing.

We're bringing some of Boises' best DJs, including a set from the grave, Steve-O! All for a $5 entry! Can't beat that.

8-9 steve-0
9-10-ballistik
10-11-kc jones

Come and support your friends and art, and have a great time while you're at it!

DJs and fundraising at the Bucket

2008-04-08T17:23:52Z

Friday, April 18th (one week from this one!), we're hosting a fund raiser for a Burning Man art project! DJs include Nappy Jeff (he's a virgin, be gentle), Kel Thomas, stEvil, and DJ Stormshadow! $5 to get you into the Bucket, show starts at 8.

This is a fundraiser for a memorial that will be built at Burning Man this year. A field of skis, over 100 feet long by 30 feet wide rises from the dusty playa. A path down the middle leads you to two benches, and a lone set of skis, a helmet, and boots. Brad Peterson was my friend, Judis' lover, and a great man. He died doing what he loved, skiing the trees, this winter. He was solo at the time, but not alone. We're bringing his skis, and at least another hundred pair, to remind ourselves, and Brad, that we wasn't really alone.

Please come out and support this project, hear great music, and dance with your friends. We need rebar (anybody got some waste, 18 to 24 inches) and hardware.

I've already got almost 100 pairs of skis, although we'll take yours too!

I need your old skis!

2008-02-19T19:47:14Z

I'm building a project for this years' burn as a tribute to my friend
Brad who died skiing here in Idaho. Imagine a field of skis, tails buried
in the playa, with a pathway that leads to a solitary pair, tips
buried, helmet hanging on the tails, a tribute to a fallen friend. To
achieve this I need those old skis that are hanging in your garage,
never to be skied again. I'm hoping for at least 100 pairs. Please
email me at graydon @ cableone. net if you can help! I would ask folks to start hoarding them now, and
either bring them to the burn, or we'll figure out a way to get them from you

(now not so impromptu) photography project~

2008-02-03T23:21:24Z

A small group of us have started meeting every (approximately) two weeks at the Flying M in downtown Boise. We met this first time on 1/17/08 for discussion and as a group assigned the single word "vintage" for a photo assignment. We then gathered again on 1/30/08 to share our work.

We decided to meet again on 2/13/08 at 7:30 at the Flying M~and the assigment is "(Pre-Valentines) Emotion". shoot towards that subject and bring one picture to share with the group. We give everyone the opportunity to tell a little about their thought proccess and how they shot the photo. Makes for a good venue of questions and answers, and a great way to meet others with a similar interest!

You are more than welcome to join us. Any skill level and any format is encouraged.
Hope to see ya there!

Fall into Rythym; Youth and Adult Making Rythym Together Classes at Drum Central

Hi everyone;

I am writing to let everyone know that we have
extended our punch card special for our "Making Rhythm
Together" beginner classes. The sale price of $50.00
for an 8 week punch card (that's $6.25 a class, what a
deal!) will extend until October 12th - just come to
the class on the night you prefer and register then.
This week, we have three new MRT class sessions
starting - one on Wednesday from 6-7pm (Rick Thomson,
instructor), another on Thursday from 7-8pm (with
three different instructors sharing the session - Matt
McCarter, instructor - with Ben Pursley the following
week - third week's instructor tba) and finally, one
on Saturday from 10-11am (Trisha Kruse, instructor).
Drums are available at no additional cost for these
classes.

These classes are all based on the same basic format
where students can expect the focus from week to week
to be these topics:

WEEK 1 - drum type, technique and the concept of SAY
IT, PLAY IT.
WEEK 2 - on beat, off beat
WEEK 3 - rhythm dialog
WEEK 4 - dividing and sub-dividing
WEEK 5 - phrasing and space
WEEK 6 - traditional song or pattern

This format allows teachers with varying backgrounds
and experience to share their music around those
common foundational topics. It also allows students
(when they use the punch card) to try out different
teachers or go to more than one session about a
particular topic.

We also have a MRT youth class for ages 10-16 on
Thursdays from 6-7pm (Patrick Sullivan, instructor)
that is in its second week and has seats available.
There is also a great on-going beginner session class
that is in its 3rd week of six on Mondays from 6-7:30
(Carolyn Failla, instructor). This session class is a
bit more focused and standardized than the MRT classes
and is also open to beginners.

Come on by and check us out. By week's end we will be
offering classes 6 days a week with more to be added
in the near future. Also - LOOK for our Saturday
workshop series starting October 13th with a
didgeridoo workshop (Aaron Maynard, instructor). $30.
with your own didge or $50. and you take one with you!

Waitressing Job at Aladdin's

2007-10-08T21:17:08Z

Hey all,

Just wanted to let you know, and to help the owners out at Aladdin's that they need a few more servers. Mostly, for day shifts, but they could also use probably one more night person as well. It is a pretty fun place to work if you like waitressing. It is family owned so there's no coorporate bs. The family that owns it are hard-working but also fun and understanding.

And, if you are into the middle eastern or Egyptian seen at all, you can add that to your job. I am a belly dancer myself, and The owners let me wear my hip scarves and some awesome egyptian eyeliner and I sometimes where head decorations as well. And at night I get to play my bellydancin cds : )

Anyways, hope there are some good, dependable waiters out there who need a job (or another job - she is very happy letting people work minimal part time if you need it) - If you are one, or you know one, come to/ send them to/ the restaurant and ask to talk to Nohah.
She is usually in the mornings monday-saturday, and sometimes she stops in in the evenings, and I know that she would stop in if that was the only time you had to meet her - call and find out if she is there or if you can make an appointment with her, or just stop by.

"Beltane" @ Goddess Fest

2007-07-30T17:08:50Z

Please join my band "Beltane" as we serenade the clans at Goddess Fest. We combine our own style of Celtic Folk Rock, made up of originals, traditional Celtic tunes, a familiar pagan cover or two, and some nostolgic summer of love blasts from the past. Our sound is built on tight feminine vocals supported with zeta (violin), guitar, bass and percussion.

Goddess Fest is Saturday July 28 & Sunday July 29 at Julia Davis Park.

We perform on Saturday at 7 P.M., and again on Sunday at 4 P.M.

We may be a red state, but we have claimed this land for the Goddess!!

Sri Sri Ravi Shankar coming to Boise this weekend (April 1st)

2007-03-28T16:40:58Z

Saw this and thought others in Boise might be interested:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This Sunday evening, a man with whom very few of us are familiar will be
sharing his vision of a peaceful, healthy, more stress-free world. Through
the Art of Living Foundation, which was founded nearly 27 years ago, his
vision and teachings have enriched the lives of over 20 million people
worldwide, including mine. His name is Sri Sri Ravi Shankar. Sri Sri has
been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize six times, and he is also a United
Nations award recipient.

Join Sri Sri Ravi Shankar this Sunday, April 1st at 5:00 p.m. at the Boise
Centre on the Grove. Tickets are available online,

http://events.artofliving.org/ or by calling (208) 353-3297.

*Sri Sri Ravi Shankar is the creator of the world's largest peaceful
gathering... 2.5 million people. Hundreds of international dignitaries and
people from around the world gathered in February 2006, in Bangalore, India,
to celebrate the 25th Anniversary of the Art of Living foundation.
*View a CNN report on the Silver Jubilee here:

http://216.151.32.97/silver/Default.aspx?tabid=82

To learn more about the Art of Living, visit their website:

http://www.artofliving.org

*Sri Sri Ravi Shankar's teachings transcend social, economic, political and
racial boundaries to help each individual create a more calm, peaceful,
stress-free life on a daily basis. What's the secret? Breath. Sri Sri
Ravi Shankar has discovered that the link between the mind and the body is
the breath. Have you ever noticed your breathing patterns when you are
stressed? The Art of Living teaches individuals how to use breath to
greater control the stress in the mind. From colleges and universities, to
prisons and war-torn regions, the Art of Living foundation is on a mission
to create world peace, one breath at a time.

Floatation/isolation tank in Boise?

2007-02-27T21:26:28Z

Does anyone know if there is someplace in or near Boise that rents time in a floatation/isolation tank? There used to be a tanning place on Beacon (near Broadway) that had a single float tank that I floated in back in the early 1990's.

Or does anyone know of someone who has one they are looking to sell?

thanks!

One night in Boise ... what should I do?

2006-12-27T04:47:51Z

Greetings! I will be traveling from Alaska to Texas in January, and have arranged for a one-night stop in Boise. So....what should I do/see? I'll be arriving at 9 a.m. on 1/2 and will not leave again until the next day.

Any recommendations for restaurants? Museums? Interesting places to visit? I adore ethnic food, but no Thai please (we've got no Indian food up here but have 9 Thai places). If at all possible, I'd love to catch a live dance performance, but I realize a Tuesday night may not be the best time for this.

Thanks for your help!

The prophecy and its nine key insights predict a worldwide awakening, arising within all religious traditions, that moves humanity toward a deeper experience of spirituality.

Anyone here ever attend the Eugene Oregon Faeryworlds festival?

2006-08-12T21:22:55Z

I'm looking to start my own group so we can have something to tide us over until the summer. Whether you've been there, are familiar with Brian Froud's work, are a fire/poi spinner, bellydancer, nature lover, faery lover, performance artist with a mythos emphasis, and have heard of bands like Woodland, Trillian Green or Kan'Nal, these are the kind of people I'm looking for. I'd like to join or be in a band with these themes, and/or just a group of people who are into this stuff so we can meet once a month or so. Have our own mini festivals or just have fun. Dance around bonfires if we feel so inclined. The last local celebration I went to that was even close to this was the one the Crone's Cupboard held two years ago. Then their building burned down and no more parties. I've been frustrated that there is nothing like this in the entire state of Idaho, and I can only get to Oregon and hang out with people like that once a year if that. So I'd like to get something going over here. Even if it's just like minded people meeting for movies, parties, outings, whatever. I'm not Wiccan or Pagan. But I like some of their ways. Goths are welcome too. I realize this whole thing may sound awkward, but I've been wanting to find people I have these interests in common with for years now. I heard there is also some kind of fire spinning/juggling group in town somewhere. I saw it in the Boise Weekly but didn't save it to remember how to contact them. I can't find a tribe for them either, can't remember their name. I can't move to Oregon where like-minded people are, so I hope there will be some of you out there who will know what I'm talking about. Let's get something started. I'm bored with all the mainstream people around here.

Gypsy Swing band and circus/cabaret sideshow comming to Boise!

2006-06-24T22:29:07Z

Hey all you Boiseans.... We are planning our summer tour and will be passing through Boise, Idaho on June 25th. We want to play a show while we are in town whether its at a house show or a venue. I'm contacting a few places right now, but if anyone has any leads help me hook it up. We can fill a whole night with the the band playing an entire set and circus antics galore.

We play high energy gypsy swing with influences of jazz, blues, jug band/old time, circus and world music. The band is comprised of 6 core members with occasional collaberation of other vocals and instrumentation for certain songs including 2 guitars, a fiddle or two, a clarinet, drums,
cello, washtub bass, banjo, trumpet, accordian, and flutes

We just set up a myspace account at
-http://www.myspace.com/underscoreorkestra

And here is a link to some more of our music. These tracks were recorded live in our studio last winter, and we are currently recording newer versions to represent our fuller tighter sound.
-http://www.spaz.org/~gotoxy/_Orkestra/

The performance crew includes members of Cirkus Pandemonium, Circo Mutante/SPAZ and the Feral Clowns from the Clown House in Portland and specializes in acrobalance, dance, trapeze, fire spinning/breathing, juggling, contortion, bed of nails, rolobolos, stilts, tall bikes, minibikes, and clownery. We have a show that can be tailored to any venue but high ceilings are good or the ability to utilize outdoor space as we have a trapeze that mounts on the bus with stage on the roof, and can do fire performance outside.

Boise Poetry Update #22 - slam FINALS are coming May 16th!

2006-05-08T18:15:58Z

Boiseans,

You bet it's gorgeous outside! It's May in Boise! And besides the incredible joy of spring bursting out on us, is the anticipation of Boise's poetry slam FINALS. All year poets have competed for the chance to shine this one night and earn their place on Team Boise, which will go to Austin in August for the National Poetry Slam.

Poets: Did you place in the top three since last August? MAKE SURE WE HAVE YOUR INFO. Jeanne has the official count, and my unofficial count includes Brandon Follett, Casey O'Leary, Cheryl Maddalena, Cody, Conscious, Denise Oshodi, Dustin Lapray, Gabe Matheney, Katie, Lisa Collard, Megan, and YNOT. We need to confirm all the poets who qualified and want to compete, so that the schedule of poets can be planned based on the number of poets competing. If you are or know a qualified poet who isn't on my list above, let me know, and if you are on the list, please make sure we have your contact info. Thanks.

RECAP:
Last month's slam, the last qualifier, brought three new poets into the finals! The house was full, Jeanne was gorgeous, and Gabe Matheney took home the top prize and repped worth his press (did you see him in the Statesman? http://www.idahostatesman.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20060414/NEWS04/604140326/1047 ). The haikusters dueled out the best haiku of the year, and Casey O'Leary remained the undefeated bout champion, defeating Cheryl Maddalena with heart, good vibes, and an awesome cover of a Brandon Follett original.

Muse Fest. Ooah, Kraddy, Random Rab, Zilla, Kan'nal & more...

2006-04-09T16:35:15Z

http://www.muse-fest.com

I wanted to make sure you were all invited to this crazy event in Utah. It would be great to have all of our family together. If you could please pass this event on to all of your friends and family it would make for a successful event. If any of you would like to showcase performance art and or art let me know. I look forward to share this experience with you all! Thanks

What Is MuseFest?

MuseFest is an experience of community awakening through music, art, and participation. It will have 3 stages, more than 10 live band and DJ acts, hours of music, dozens of performers, and copious amounts of interactive art.
For one day the Great Saltair will turn into an art and music festival that will allow the audience to travel through various worlds of interaction and atmospheres. Two domes will be erected outside at the edge of the barren salt beds. One for relaxing from the madness that surrounds you while chilling to some of Utah’s greatest downtempo, the other bumping beats from Salt Lake Cities finest DJ’s and producers. The Great Saltair, gleaming like a desert mirage will house 50,000 watts of sound transmitting some of the finest acid-rock and electronic talent to ever play in Utah.
Break Beats, Indy Rock, Acid Rock, Experimental, Shamanic, Drum & Bass, Trip Hop, Down Tempo, Mid Tempo Tech Hop, Tribal, Jungle, Intellectual Glitch, and a little spontaneity will be rocking the dance floor non stop.
Multiple stages will be set through out the event colored with amazing costumes and performers including Fire Spinners, Stilt Walkers, Jugglers, Hula Hoop Girls, Go Go Dancers, Cultural Dancers, Drumming, Spoken Word, Live Art, Graffiti Artists, and a plethora of Performance Artists.
Any artist can display or create their art at MuseFest. We welcome artists and interaction; The Salt Air creates a blank canvas upon which any vision can be realized. Most art installations contain an interactive element allowing participants to fully engage with the piece instead of viewing it from a safe distance as we are use to in our museum and gallery oriented world.
Whatever your tastes, MuseFest will have something to inspire and elevate everyone. Come prepared to participate and find a muse to mix up the mundane.

Boise Poetry Update #18 - Poets, We Want You! for War of Words on Saturday

2006-04-05T16:43:05Z

Boiseans, especially poets!

You may have picked up that Boise Slam Poets are doing a special event called War of Words on Saturday. A War of Words is an all-bout exhibition - it gives poets a chance to test their best work, and gives an audience the chance to root for their favorite poets in the bout format.

Well, in a bout format, each poet needs a "dance partner" so to speak, and we had one poet have to drop out because of a work conflict.

So, Boise poets, do you want to dance with us on Saturday? E-mail cheryl at cheryl_maddalena@yahoo.com and say so - we are looking for someone who has performed at least on open-mic, and who has 3 poems. Don't be shy, there won't be any casualties at this War and it will be fun for all.

If you know a great poet who is not on this list, forward our request on to them!

The event info is below.

Thanks,
Cheryl

WAR OF WORDS
Saturday, April 8
7 PM, $5
Dry Creek Mercantile
5892 W Hidden Springs Dr. 83714
(208) 229-2001
-- Spoken word artists perform their hardest in this all-bout exhibition! Featuring Cheryl Maddalena vs. Denise Oshodi, Jen Siegel vs. Dustin, haikusters Katey Harris vs. Truman Bishop, and conscientious objector poet Brendan Follett!

Do you know a student poet?

2006-04-05T16:41:32Z

Boiseans,

Inspired by the upcoming "SMACK! at VaC" all-ages poetry slam, a reporter from the Idaho Statesman is interested in doing a story on student poets who slam.

If you know or are a student poet who is going to compete at SMACK! or who has competed in a slam, PLEASE forward them to me! The reporter wants to interview three students in the next week.

Thank you!

Does anyone do anything fun here?

2006-04-03T20:53:57Z

I've been reading the boards and it doesn't seem like any one in Boise actually does anything. I thought these tribes were to strengthen community? Am I wrong? What does everybody do for fun/adventure? I'm not trying to be out of line, just curious.

Peace & Love

Local Arts & Crafts Shows 2006

2006-03-21T02:59:03Z

Hello Everyone,

Are there any artists/crafters out there who can direct me towards the best shows to participate in this year? I know there's 'Art in the Park'; Can anyone recommend any others that would showcase my mosaics, and would have more buyers than lookers?

Thanks, I'd appreciate your help.

Namaste,

Party on Friday night.

2006-03-18T02:44:29Z

Paddy Murphy is this week.

When: Friday, St. Patrick’s Day 9pm-2am
Where: Mardi Gras on 9th Street
Cost: No cover charge

4 DJ's throughout the night. Full bar with ID

Come help mourn the death of Paddy this week. Since it is free, it is perfect for pre-funking on your way downtown, if that’s what you are going to do. For those under age, it is perfect because it is free. Bring ID as it is only 18 and up. Spread the word to all your friends. It should be a kick ass time. See you then.

*Also, we are carrying our casket around on campus on Wednesday. Please wear black in respect for our fallen Paddy. Thank you*

It just didn't work out...or hasn't

2006-02-05T05:09:55Z

I moved here from San Francisco. Not out of any blue investment dream, but because of family. My granfather built the Mores Creek bridge that you cross on Hwy 21 north of Lucky Peak. Our family house in NW Boise was alone among fields and sheep once. My parents raised us in Oregon, Salem specifically, and then retired and moved back here. There were family deaths, a vacant house. SF lost it's charm, and me my compass...
I've tried to find traction here. But I didn't graduate from the local institutions. I'm not "IN". I don't relate to the local populace. I just don't fit.
I've made some friends here, some just like me, having moved back here. And none of us feel comfortable here. It's like Boise doesn't want us.
I'm setting my sites on Portland when I can. Big enough, liberal enough, comfortable enough...I dig what Boise has on exterior; climate, clean, calm...but since I'm not terribly religious, and not from here, I feel like I'm not welcome...
Am I alone in this?
P.
