JayceLand's Weekly Rochester Events #106: Rockin' Capital Land
|
While I was at work I was doodling a little and it seemed I wanted to draw symbols so I focused a little and came up with "2ScR87." It looked like a legal citation and a quick search of the Internet revealed "SCR" was the acronym for the Supreme Court of Canada. 1SCR87 refers to a case about child custody, and 2SCR287 refers to whether computer-generated bank statements are admissible. I thought that was kind-of a dead end so I just thought maybe a street name nearby started with "Scr" so I looked it up in StreetAtlas. It turns out there is a Scr Ln. in Fairport. After work I stopped by there and the lot was basically wild except for a gazebo. I didn't get out and check it out. I haven't had a chance to read all Martin Luther King, Jr.'s speeches and letters from last week's survey so I kept it for at least another week. It looks like nobody else got a chance either. Just like last week, review Dr. King's speeches through the links to the Afro-American Almanac in the survey to the right and pick what you feel is his most inspirational work. |

Yesterday [big help, Jayce] and today,
Nuts and Bolts Comedy Improv
will be holding auditions for their troupe.
Call them at 244-2681 and leave a message for details on the time and location.
Krypton-88 with The Blind Pharaohs will be at Monty's Krown (875 Monroe Ave.) tonight starting around 10:30. At some point there's a show coming up where the Krown will be charging a cover on Thursday but I can't remember when. This might be it, so be prepared. The WBER-sponsored appearance of Insane Clown Posse with Marz and Insolence will be at Water Street Music Hall (204 N. Water St.) at 7:30 p.m.
More interesting to me is the
Acoustic Showdown
with
Luann of Velocity Mirror,
Joff of The Earthlings,
Todd of Falling 12 Stories,
Andy Schmitts of Bughouse
and
Randall
at
The Bug Jar
(219 Monroe Ave.)
They're all in (or were in) local non-acoustic bands but will be doing some acoustic stuff on their own tonight.
Finally, Milestones (170 East Ave.) is once again hosting Freetime Magazine's Most Popular Band Contest starting around 10:00-ish with with Don't Bother the Dog versus Average Otis. Salsa Lessons continue at Tapas One Seventy Seven (177 Saint Paul St.) tonight at 9. |

noon.
Today at 4 p.m. and tomorrow at 4 p.m. at
Nextstage
at
Geva
(75 Woodbury Blvd.)
is a free performance of
The Spirit House
by
Adam Kraar.
NextStage describes it as:
An American diplomat's family in Thailand in 1965 discovers the magic -- and danger -- of being innocents in an exotic land. This lyrical drama about a family's loss of Eden is set against the backdrop of the escalating conflict in Vietnam.Also, tonight at 8 p.m. and tomorrow at noon, Nextstage will have a free performance of Garuda's Wing by Naomi Iizuka. NextStage describes it as: A lush and mysterious work set in the remote jungles of Indonesia. A young forensic pathologist investigates the origins of unidentified bones, and in the process begins to piece together not only the identity of the victim, but the identity of the murderer, and the motive behind a crime that occurred years before.Don't forget that Someplace Soft To Fall will be played at noon.
The good cover band
Better Days
will be at
Fat Moe's
(4419 Dewey Ave.)
Tonight at Monty's Krown (875 Monroe Ave.) is The Hi-Risers starting around 10:30. Saturdays are cover charge night, so keep that in mind.
What looks to be pretty interesting is
Carbon Records CDR.Show
at
The Bug Jar
(219 Monroe Ave.)
starting at 10.
Basically, there are 10 or so performers who get their names drawn from a hat to play any of 20 or so instruments
for about 5 minutes of improvisational jamming.
Radio Shock
from Brooklyn will be opening and
DJ Detox (John Schoen) will be preventing the awkward silences.
I gather they record the set and plop it onto a CD-R as they mention their eighth release in four months of
their CDR.Series.
You can take your best bet at the JPEG advertisement on their home page, but it looks to me
like appearances by members of
Nod,
Coffee,
Pengo,
Finkbeiner,
Hilkka,
and
Sheet
with
Andy Gilmore,
Chad Oliveiri
and more.
Also, Don't Bother the Dog and U.S. Falls will be at Richmonds (21 Richmond St.) tonight starting around 10. |

U E S D A Y |
I checked with Alan and he said they weren't paying to have the
Krown Kryers
play at
Monty's Krown
(875 Monroe Ave.)
However, it's now more of a true open jam in that anyone is welcome to come by and play. They go as
far as putting the microphone out on stage. Everything else is up to whoever shows up.
Downstairs at Java's (16 Gibb Street) starting around 9:30 is open mic poetry. |
