Featured indie artist Alicia Bainbridge Escott
http://www.boombox.org/alicia
Working in expressive monochromatics recalling the kinetic landscapes of Northwestern painter James Lavadour, Alicia ‘s pocket-sized paintings are made on polystyrene, or #6 plastic. This plastic is very common but not recyclable; the work seeks to educate people about which plastics can and cannot be recycled.

Get ready for your valentine while not technically thematic, we love our double-shot of romantic standbys too much to ever give them up. Rest assured that you will be able to get all the decadent Edible Love (http://ediblelove.com) handmade chocolates you can stand, and will be able to have your troubles soothed away afterwards by our licensed masseuse. Experience these things while listening to the soothing strains of John Arns, who will be playing sitar at the show. What a trifecta!
