The Last Art Happy Hour
at the Bedlam Theatre
August 25, 5 - 7 pm

For those of you haven’t heard, the Bedlam Theatre — home to Art Happy Hour since April, 2009 — will, as of September 7, be no more. Well, at least the current version of the Bedlam will be no more: The gang lost its least on its current space and is currently in search of somewhere new to hang its collective hat.

The Bedlam are good and talented theater folk, who mean a lot to this community — and do a lot for the community — even while presenting cutting-edgy, funny and entertaining theatrical art and providing lots and lots of bike racks at a gracious and welcoming space.

Now is a good time — a perfect time in fact — to show your support of the Bedlam folk by coming to the Last Art Happy Hour (at the Bedlam, on August 25), unclenching your fists, and spending a little of your hard-earned on beer and wine and kielbasa.

In other words, come to The Last Art Happy Hour at the Bedlam, and show your support to this uprooted local treasure.

Now, I know what you’re wondering: Where will I go to get my my art happy on once the Bedlam strikes the set? Will there be life for Art Happy Hour after the Bedlam leaves the West Bank? And the answer to that, is: I’m pretty sure I have the answer to that question.

But you will have to come to The Last Art Happy Hour (@ The Bedlam Theatre, on August 25) to find out what that answer is.

Come to the Last Art Happy Hour!

 

Greetings, Friends of Happy:

Just a quick note to let you all know, in case you were wondering, your favorite happy hour event — the ART HAPPY HOUR — will be on hiatus for the month of July, as your able Art Happy admin catches up on much needed rest and makes a push to get himself off the dole and back into the workforce.

We will see you again sometime soon — until then, keep Happy.

Cheers!

Hey, all you Swingers and Swingettes, you Hepcats and Hot Dollies, come to the fabulous Art Happy Hour next week.

June Art Happy Hour

Thanks to all who came to the Art Happy Hour on May 13. About 35-40 festive people joined the festivities at the Bedlam Theatre. (Unfortunately, I forgot to bring a camera to take photos at the event.)

I can report, however, that the main event of May’s Art Happy Hour, the Art Trivia contest sponsored by the Tours Department at the Walker Art Center, produced the following clear winners:

2nd place (tie): Steven Tyler’s Bulge

2nd place (tie): Avidor

2nd place: Thin Soup

and

1st place (new champion): Thunder Road

For anyone curious about Art Trivia, eager to mingle with fellow artists and arts community members, and prone to a fondness for $3 beers, comfortable confines, and stimulating conversation, be advised:

Art Happy Hour on June 10 will run from 4 to 7 pm at the Bedlam Theatre (as always). All comers are welcome.

…who attended Art Happy Hour last night at the Bedlam Theater. It was good times, good times.
(I promise a rundown soon, when I have a spare moment.)
