Dr. Sketchy Thursday, April 2nd @GROG SHOP

It's that time again. A whole lotta' newy-ness going around.
New Model (Sarah) New location! New Night! New Dr. Sketchy!
Clear your Thursday for your appointment with the Dr.

Thanks!
Dr. Aaron

April 2nd (Thursday) at the
GROG SHOP
(2785 Euclid Heights Blvd. in Cleveland Heights.) The event starts at 7:30PM and goes to around 11PM. Drawing starts at 8PM. Cost is only $10

drsketchycleveland.com has pictures, drawings and iTune's playlists from the events.

Normally a session consists of one or two models, a DJ, your host and three rounds of poses. A warm up round of one to two minute poses, a break, drinks, five and ten minute poses, a break, more drinks, and then as many long poses (15-20 minute) as they can fit in. There are also prizes and contests.

They do have a few rules:

Dry mediums only, as in ink, markers, crayons, pencils, graphite, pastels, etc. If we can clean up with a broom it is good. If you make arrangements with us ahead of time, me may be able to accommodate a very limited number/types of other mediums.
Be respectful. That means no pawing at the models and no asking them out. Hooting and hollering, however, is encouraged.
No photography at the events. Our models are posing for life drawing.
21 and up. This is a drinking event and held in a bar.
Most of all, have fun.

Bob Dylan and Religion @CWRU 3.25 4:30PM

Stephen Hazan Arnoff
"About Man and God and Law":
Bob Dylan and Religion
Wednesday, March 25, 2009; 4:30PM
Clark Hall, Rm. 309, 11130 Bellflower Road, Cleveland


As rock and roll's greatest poet and one of the most important artists in any medium over the past half century, Bob Dylan wrestles with religion at the heart of his work. From iconoclast to Zionist to fundamentalist and back, explore Dylan's encounter with God, the Bible, Israel, religious identity, faith, and morality. In a discussion illustrated by selected clips of music, video, and text, scholar of popular and Jewish culture Stephen Hazan Arnoff explains how Dylan's pursuit spiritual truth embodies a modern quest of many great artists and intellectuals to make sense of ancient traditions and folkways when religious institutions and practice fail them. A self-defined religious outlaw, learn how Dylan makes sense of his own creed: "To live outside the Law you must be honest."

Kodo drummers at the Palace Theater Tues. 3.24

Kodo performs at the Palace Theater on Playhouse Square on Tuesday 3.24 at 7:30PM and it sounds cool. Innovations in metallurgy, African and Indonesian inspiration, and spartan communal living on a forgotten island gave birth to this artistic (and elemental) experience. North American audiences may not realize what goes into the sounds they'll hear when the premier Japanese taiko group performs here as a part of a rare 29-city North American tour. Critics call them "samurai percussionists" — you be the judge. www.kodo.or.jp
