Opening Ceremony for Summer @ 3rd St. Park. 3pm.

The City of Bloomington Summer Aquatics Council (BSAC) is happy to announce a celebration of the beginning of summer. There will be an opening ceremony on Monday, May 28 at 3pm at 3rd Street Park. The ceremony will include an announcement of the 2007 Bloomington Tour of Pools and a bicycle and swimwear parade eventually terminating at Bryan Park for volleyball, a cookout, and ice cream social. Following these events, people are encouraged to disperse to visit the city’s many fine, newly re-opened pools. Participants are strongly encouraged to wear their finest, flashiest swimwear, and bring some cookout food or ice cream to share. BSAC is also soliciting submissions for a summer mix tape that will be featured prominently in the opening ceremony, If you have questions or would like to suggest a hot summer jam, please contact BSAC at bsac@terrorware.com. Finally, Bloomington residents are encouraged to document this and all other summer fun by tagging their summer photos with BtonSummer2K7 on Flickr.

Have a safe and civil summer,
The Bloomington Summer Aquatics Council

cancelled!: hangover cafe @ sweet hickory. 11a-2p.

I was going to do the hangover cafe in Rawny’s absence, but between a million things going on tonight, and the Boxcar long term planning meeting tomorrow, I couldn’t do it.  Sorry!

Take care,

Julie Sokolow (born April 3, 1987) is a lo-fi singer-songwriter. A
resident of Holmdel, New Jersey, Sokolow is, as of 2006, a sophomore
at University of Pittsburgh in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Her debut
album, Something About Violins, was released in November, 2006, on the
Western Vinyl label. Often drawing comparisons to Cat Power and Mirah,
Sokolow has gained acclaim for her decidedly lo-fi sound; the entirety
of Something About Violins was recorded using the built-in microphone
of her PowerBook G4. Her music, which predominantly consists simply of
her vocals and acoustic guitar, has been noted for its subtletly and
introspectiveness. Sokolow has also been heralded not just for the
intimacy of her music, but for her awareness of her own fragile
emotional state. All of the work on Something About Violins, including
mixing, instrumentation, and album packaging art, was done by Sokolow
herself. (from wikipedia)

At only 19 years old and hailing from the college town of Columbus,
Ohio, Blake Miller creates songs that range from the haunting to the
intimate, but contain an honesty that allows him to stay far enough
outside the lyrical styling of the “freak folk” movement to create
something truly distinct. He exhibits vocal melodies suggestive
perhaps of Devendra Barnhart or Grizzly Bear, coupled with the
intimacy and earnestness of early Iron & Wine recordings. (courtesy of
exitstencil recordings)

Justin Vollmar is a man travelling in life, pursued by things that are
lo-fi, while neglecting the booze and stoned kind of inspirations, not
knowing what to do with the casual artists that need depressions to
help the underground feeling stand up clearly. But also Justin often
ends up musically surviving on mattresses, surrounded by small paper
notes of real heart-poetry remarks. (Gerald van Waes)
