i've happened on to some other cool events happening this weekend.
so here's another list of worthwhile entertainment you can use as
excuses to get together with some friends...
it's starting to get chilly out and winter will be here soon.
so take advantage of this beautiful weather, call your posse,
and get out of the house this weekend!!!! :-)

:: ybb on sunday!! ::

those of you who've been on this list for a while know how
crazy i am about the youngblood brass band.
they put out some of the most energizing music i've ever heard.
6 horns, 2 drums, 1 voice and a ton of positive energy.
go to the ybb shows knowing you're going to work up a sweat on the dance floor.
resistance is futile.

the boys will be at the zoo bar on sunday.
they generally start around 9/9:30.
and i think they generally charge $5 or $6.
*easily* worth it!!!
if you go, i'll see you there.

they're also going to be splitting the late bill at the ranch bowl in omaha on saturday night.
the show will start about 10pm. hit the ranch bowl site for more info...

until they have enough great music to fill a cd.
they're playing the fac (5-7) then friday night and saturday night too.

Jerene Bishop and Cindy Rickard
“A Family Affair”

Talent may be genetic given that our artists are aunt and niece. Jerene Leslie Bishop graduated from UNO with a degree in art, specializing in printmaking. Jerene studied with Peter Hill and Tom Majeski and came to appreciate line even more than form and color. The nudes she exhibits are from her student days and more recent prints and lithographs incorporate color. Jerene is a psychotherapist at Bishop Clinic. She loves the work of Jim Dine and Georgia O’Keefe and makes prints because it's "Zenish, peaceful, a rest from therapy."

Cindy Rickard studied at Nebraska Wesleyan, graduated from the Kansas City Art Institute then got her MFA from the University of Massachusetts-Dartmouth. Cindy studied with Ken Ferguson and Chris Gustin and developed an admiration for Gaston Lachaise. Cindy is a sculptor using a variety of materials, plaster, lead, bronze, and clay. Early work included large abstract pieces that were "patio-sized." With the addition of daughter Hannah to her home, Cindy's studio and kiln have shrunk, she works in the garage when Hannah is sleeping. Her current work is figurative, smaller, and more delicate while still achieving a voluptuous quality.

Directions
From Lincoln, head south on Highway 77. On Highway 33, turn right, heading West. This highway will take you all the way through Crete. As you are leaving the city limits, turn right heading north on the gravel road just past the "Dorchester 7" sign. Follow this gravel road for approximately 2 miles until you see the "Blue River Lodge" sign. Then follow the signs to the barn/studio. For a map and directions point your Web browser to:

There will be a silent auction to benefit the North Lincoln Voters for Landis, 4328 Touzalin Ave., which paid for a promotional mailing. Contact David Landis with any questions: 466-9352.

Coming Attractions
October - Rebecca Copple, sculptor, also does painting and drawing. She earned a BFA from Wesleyan and an M.A. in Museum Studies from UNL. Her pieces are seemingly representative but are often visual concepts that diverge from reality. She is part of the permanent collection at the Arkansas Art Center. She has been part of festivals and shows in numerous locations including Loveland and Golden, Colorado. We will be delighted by her sense of whimsy.

November 28, 29, 30 - Tom Hart will draw together a celebration of Native American culture featuring his work and others from the area.
