Saturday in the City


Man I had such a great day yesterday.. We hit up Des Moines for Record Store Day, Craft Saturday, some shopping, Mars Cafe's 4th anniversary SPACE PROM (which I played a solo set).

Anyway the day was just perfect first we did some shopping for Ash so she could find some shoes for Little Ashley's wedding which is NEXT WEEKEND! Then we hit up record store day which Ash and I had painted a PCC test pressing for the first person to spend 250 dollars at ZZZ records, and we were happy to hear the first person through the door who was also standing in line 2 hours before the store opened spent 250 bucks and got the test pressing... there is a photo above of ashleys great work!
Most of the COOL special record store day stuff was gone by the time we got there but Ash got some Pizza and I picked up the special addition of the new APPLES IN STEREO LP and a double JOE COCKER album!

Then onto Craft Saturday to see some local crafty types gear, and to say hello to our buddies the William's who put it on! It was a great group of Artist and I think Ash got a scarf and a new Monster Fashion Wallet..

I then did an interview with WE HEART MUSIC RADIO, which was pretty rad, and the guy asked great questions.. SO that was fun...
Then we headed over to the East village and did some shopping..
We ended up with some time to Kill before space prom so we headed to the HESSIAN HOUSE and had some brews with Marc and Angela... They also tested out some GAITER TAILS... GROSS..
THen the most random thing happend We met Marc and Angela's neighbor in the elevator and she said they were having a party at their place the next thing you know Im looking at SALVIDOR DALI art and drinking a hieniken in some random guys house... THe next thing I know, me and Marc are singing WEEZER Karoke at this random guys house, cause the Hiening were crowden his ICE BOX...

Any way it was a blast and Angela and Ash did a little GIRLS JUST WANNA HAVE FUN, which Angela turned into a spoken work rant which was pretty great, LEts just say Marc and I got a better score, BUT the dude who was plastered who had been golfing all day totally beat us doing some FORINER or what ever it was...

Then onto SPACE PROM, at Mars Cafe which totally ruled, Daniel B, really made this rule! they had SAKI Punch and tons of great decorations, and one Crazy Penguien/peacock dude! They had turned Mars Cafe into a Killer Space ball! WIth PHOTO BOOTH and snacks, Drinks, and Great music.. I had a blast playing and it was funny cause I asked for request and about 20 DONALD songs were requested... So I did a few of them!
ANYWAY it was a killer Day!

Now onto help Joe Williams move his stuff out of his storage unit int a UHAL!

OH also PCC is on MAGNET MAGAZINE this weekend, Its always been a dream of mine to be in Magnet, so this is cool
PCC on MAGNET MAGAZINE FILM AT 11
