TS Reunion Fest, press from AZ Republic & New Times
Sunday, December 27th, 2009
Excerpt: But the show isn’t just about saving a beloved downtown venue. JRC also is asking concertgoers to bring unneeded and unwanted clothing and backpacks to the show to donate to the Tumbleweed Center.”We thought, people get tons of extra stuff for Christmas that they either don’t want or need or it’s something that makes a thing they already have redundant,” JRC says. “Tumbleweed could really use that stuff. They provide services for homeless teens, helping them mainstream and learn trade skills. So, if you got 10 extra pairs of pants, any backpacks or household items you don’t need for Christmas, bring those items by, too, and we will make sure they get to the people who need them. ”
And from The PHX New Times, a review of the nights happenings . . .
Is the Trunk Space about to be “ovah” and out? Hardly.
Mercifully, it appears as though reports of downtown Phoenix art space and performance venue’s impending demise are prove to be mildly exaggerated, as co-owners JRC and Stephanie Carrico believe their establishment has been weathering a recent financial nightmare and will continue to exist in the coming months.
Read the whole thing here.
Additionally, if you do click the link and read these stories, I’d ask you post a comment about it the host media sites too.
You can guess there’s less and less money going to media coverage for everything, so the more response (good or bad) they get regarding a certain item , the more likely they are to fund that coverage, which means more attention to all of the downtown arts community.
Thanks!

Note from Jacob Adler: Halloween Concert
Monday, September 14th, 2009I am organizing a concert to be held on halloween eve, and I am looking for singers and instrumentalists to take part.
Less of a concert and more of a sonic meditation, the music will consist of drones (tuned to the harmonic series) produced by an organ, amplified computers, a large gong, and as many singers and instrumentalists as we can find. The duration is 90 minutes with a simple dynamic shape.
There will be only one rehearsal which will take place one week before the event.
There is no musical score – directions will be short and simple.
The concert will take place at St. Augustine’s Church in Tempe (corner of College/Broadway) on October 31, 9pm.
I have performed many concerts like this, and they have always been powerful experiences for the participants. The significance of all hollows eve is realized as we remember our loved ones who have passed away and meditate on ‘the whole mystery whereby beings come into existence in time and space, and then return once more into the realm beyond space and time’ (-Stockhausen).
Please contact me if you would like to collaborate.
Please forward this email to friends and family who might be interested in collaborating.
Thanks and I hope to hear from you,
Jacob Adler
