I'm vending at the Made Fair at the Adams Center this Sunday December 14! I'll be selling my lotions, balms & soaps, mohair yarn, and framed small art quilts. There are going to be over 200 Montana artists and crafters there. Find me under the name Blue Zen Naturals and introduce yourself if you're in Missoula! That's why I've been MIA the last few weeks... It snuck up on me and I've been making stuff like a mad woman. This is my favorite market. Im excited.
Come check out our booth and new products this Sunday at Missoula’s Holiday MADE fair
Some Of The Stuff I'm Talking About Has Already Happened
So yeah, disregard the above picture unless you're already there and not reading this blog-post the second it's up. I couldn't make it to Le Kickball's lottery appreciation of Total Fest which is, if you don't already know, quite possibly the best festival Missoula can truly call its own. Oh well.
Yeah folks, we've slept on a lot of stuff as of late. Super SORRIES. That cool label Jagjaguwar wanted us to review the new Cave Singers record and dude...the life of the one (1) permanent blogger for Weird Missoula just got too crazy in the short term to really make that happen. Hope it was a great show! We couldn't even go to that either. Ugh. Double ugh. Oh well, July is nearly upon us though, right? We'll be OK. I'm planning on getting some new local record reviews up this week. That's something we've done a poor job of keeping on top of for the last year or so...sorry guys! I think it's beyond time for us to review some of the Whoopass Girls stuff considering they've "called us out" on a post or two. Whatever. Missoula has lots of good bands and for the most part, we feel like we're preaching to the choir. That said, here are some things we like that are approaching:
The Summer Made Fair is happening THIS SUNDAY in Cara's Park. It's a great moment for you to get out there and support all our local artisans and craftspeople. Small businesses are really propping up the Missoula economy right now and that's kind of amazing. There's gonna be killer stuff there, folks. Do it. Sunday, June 30th. 10am to 5pm.
Portland bands Drunk Dad and Big Black Cloud are coming to Missoula on Friday, July 5th at the Ole Beck VFW Post #209 in lovely downtown Missoula. They'll be joined by locals The Houndz (first show!!! -- featuring members of Rooster Sauce!!!), and Shramana. It'll rule, dudes. Show at 10pm. Cover is $5 for those 21 and older, $7 for those between the ages of 18 and 20.
Did you know Titus Andronicus is coming in September? Yeah, that's happening. Quintron & Miss Pussycat are coming in October too. BIG NEWS. Gonna be a burner of a late summer/autumn, folks.
Last years (2011) unfest & made fair
