Discology

We have several big events this month and want to inform all fellow Discologians of our intentions of making October more than just the month with Halloween in it. Let’s list them off:

Friday, October 12th– The Artist Reception for Kate Ingram- Watercolorist. What’s cool about Kate is that she just graduated with a Masters in Biology and comes to her Art with a different perspective. This is a FREE event. Reception is from 6-9pm.

Friday, October 12th– On the same night, we are taking part of the Amblin’ on the Avenue event which entails a wine walk and a contest to win one of many prizes. Discology will be giving away a $25 Gift Card to one lucky winner who qualifies for the drawing by collecting stamps on a map of local participating local businesses. Tickets are $20 per person and can be purchased in advance at Clay Nichols. Amblin’ runs from 5-9pm.

Saturday, October 13th– Singer-songwriters Justin McMahon and Gordon Mayer will be performing at 5:00pm. Justin just put out a CD called …Worth the Wait and has some great songs on his MySpace page that can be found at www.myspace.com/justinmcmahon. Gordon is new to MySpace, so welcome to the insanity. He also has a great song posted on his MySpace page for you to check out at ww.myspace.com/gordonmayer. This is a FREE event.

Saturday, October 13th– From 10pm-Midnight, I will be co-hosting Retroshock with Willie on 97.3 Bob FM. This is my first time doing this and I am excited to be bring listeners of 80’s and 90’s music some unheard tracks and deeper cuts from such bands as Dead Can Dance Clan of Xymox, and U2. Also, in coordination with this show, Discology and Bob FM will be co-sponsoring a contest to win the Smashing Pumpkins box set Aeroplane Flies High. This set has been out of print for years and information on how to win will be available on the Retroshock show.

Saturday, October 20th– Neil Greene will be playing a set in the store at 5:00pm. Neil has played Discology on several occassions and is promoting his latest release Taxidermy. There will also be a track from his new CD featured in the magazine Under the Radar, on-sale at the end of the month. Neil’s CD can also be heard on the local artist listening station at the store. This is a FREE event to the public. www.neilgreene.net

Friday, October 26th– Special Halloween Art Exhibition. The reception for this multiple artist show will be on Friday, October 26th but will be available to view from October 25th through Halloween. Let’s see what these artists come up with when the veil is at its thinnest…. This is also a FREE event. We will be drawing the winner of the Smashing Pumpkins box set at 8:00pm!

Please email or call Discology for more information. Thanks to everyone who still supports local art, local music and local music stores. As we approach our first year in business, we will celebrate with a big bash, so stay tuned.

Thanks,
