ADRIAN AARDVARK - 4/21/18

Plattsburgh's psychedelic folk grunge heroes return! On April 21st join us for what will surly be an amazing evening of music and more... come early - stay late! $3-10 suggested donation at the door. And as you'll read below AA will  be releasing their NEW ALBUM the day before! WOOHOO!!

"Plattsburgh, New York 4-piece, Adrian Aardvark, offers a unique brand of rock and roll that is highly energetic, completed with costumes, theatrics, introspective lyrics, and solid grooves. 

Dying Optimistically embraces unequivocal passion in an ongoing search for good in the human condition. In the sprightly backdrop of Adrian Aardvark’s songscape, the group strives to atone with the world at large. 

Imagine the chaotic energy of The Cramps counterbalanced by the emotive fragility of Daniel Johnston -- battles against anxiety, depression, and sexual identity are contrasted by explorations of romantic love and acceptance of the self, amplified in a wall of energy. 

Lush string arrangements, enticing drumming, and anthemic vocals showcase the collaborators’ creative dynamism. The bizarre and loving beauty of this record is visually supplemented by Jon Vermilyea’s surreal album artwork. 

Epifo Music will release Dying Optimistically on Friday, April 20, 2018 digitally and on CD. A limited edition vinyl edition will be available online via Bandcamp, adrianaardvark.com, and at Adrian Aardvark’s energetic concerts. "

INTERNATIONAL WOMAN'S DAY - 03/08/18

When the documentary ended, conversation immediately commenced; when open dialogue begins the event can only be seen as a success. After viewing Miss Representation (2011) on March 8, 2018, in honor of International Women’s Day, our group filled the evening hours with discussion, comradery and the open exploration of what makes us all so very different, despite sharing one gender label: woman.

What is to be a woman, fettered by the constraints of an oh-so-binary world, is certainly a complex topic. Spanning three generational decades, our group met with the intention of chipping away at the expectations, conceptions, responsibilities and intricacies of defining ourselves as women, while looking to be heard and to here others. With caution, care, consideration and contempt, this evening served to educate and engage. And as we return home, back to daily lives day after day, let us carry with us the struggles and splendor of being a woman.

With gratitude for those who came to the event, and for those who came well before us, we look to continue the discussion in the following ways:

As educated consumers,

As mentors,

As those willing to break the cycle,

&

As critics of the media and marketing.

ZPARK - DECEMBER-MARCH 2017-2018

Croquet, croquet, croquet croquet croooooqqquuuuueeeettt.

Up to this point in time the ZPARK Snow Croquet Court has experienced a hardy and lasting winter season. The temperatures remained low enough for long enough to maintain the frozen mounded features, groomed terrain and thick, solid base. The length of this Snow Croquet season being very similar to last years with a major thaw setting in just at the end of February melting away the months-long social sculpture. We'll keep on whackin' and encourage you to join us or stop by and give it a shot yourself - we'd love to teach you.

Cheers ball-bangin' all year!
