[dorkbotsea-blabber] * * IT'S DORKBOT SHOWTIME!!!* *

[Kate Seekings]

Artworks aweigh!!!  "People Doing Strange Things With Electricity", the
month-long show featuring the strange stuff our strange dorkbot-sea
(http://dorkbot.org/dorkbotsea) crew gets up to professionally and in
its spare time, for money, for love or for kicks and grins, blasts off
at CoCA on Wednesday, August 6th at 9.00 pm with a giant party,
fantastical exhibits, smashing performers and the smell of ozone in the
air.  
 
The show runs from the first Wednesday in August (8/6) through the first
Wednesday in September (9/3), but if you're not there on the opening
night, well.  you're not just a dork, you're a dork sitting at home
thinking about being out having fun, talking with the exhibiting
artists, listening to great music and waving your martini as punctuation
for your eloquent discourse, all for FREE, and what's not to love about
that?
 
Note this preview, discussion and celebration replaces this month's
regular dorkbot meeting.  Please, though, do send your RSVP to
dorkbotsea at dorkbot.org so we can plan refreshments, space etc. - we're
looking forward to hearing from you, and to seeing you there.
