Creaking Planks activities have been in a strange limbo these past few years: more than we might reasonably expect, and simultaneously less than we'd like. (And yet, we ourselves are the bottleneck. So... go figure.)
Case in point: this Sunday night, April 12th, our hirsute accordionist Blackbox Squeezebeard will be celebrating turning 40. He was a little down at the prospect, looking back at the amazing show we threw on the occasion of his 30th birthday, but perked up when he realized he could just... put that show on again a second time! Now, not all participants were able to join us this time around on such short notice, but hopefully you, at least, might well be able to.
Starting around 8:30 pm, set sail on the Second Voyage of the Ship of Fools, featuring music by Monsterdinosaur artist and longtime Little Mountain Gallery proprietor Ehren Salazar, magic by the alter-ego of Planks alumnus Dr. Steelhand -- Travis Bernhardt, and poetry insanity by Al Mader, the Minimalist Jug Band! All that plus bare-bones Planking by Blackbox Squeezebeard plus... well, anyone who plays along with the Creaking Planks is deputized as a Creaking Plank, but conversely Planks can never manage to confirm scheduled appearances, so... we are looking forward to being joined by unconfirmed, unscheduled guests, some of whom may be actual historical Creaking Planks, Planking along with us. But due to the x-factor we can't actually bill it as a Creaking Planks appearance. All we know for sure is that there'll be Creaking and Planking.
Suggested donation $10. Be generous with your server at the WISE Lounge bar (downstairs at 1882 Adanac at Victoria), they usually don't have shows there at all on Sunday nights!
