Ticks film fundraiser at Alcove Gallery Saturday
Today, Chicago-based Trouble In Mind Records announced that it has signed on Atlanta rockers Omni, and plans to release the group’s debut album Deluxe later this year.
Bands? Check. Beer? Check. Art? Check. Burlesque? Sure, why not.
Saturday, Alcove Gallery hosted multi-media mastermind Justin Curfman’s fundraiser for his up-and-coming, spot-motion animated film, Ticks. The day was fully equipped with live music, a silent-auction art gallery, film screenings and Atlanta’s own neo-burlesque performers, Blast-Off Burlesque!
Originally planned to be held at the Five Spot, Curfman and crew were short a venue when the Five Spot was forced to close Thursday night after a water heater break and gas leak.
Frantic, Curfman secured Alcove Gallery at 6:30 Friday night, leaving only 18 hours to spread the word and set up shop.
“We spent 12 hours in one night moving locations,” Curfman said. “And it went off perfectly.”
“Sure, there were problems,” he continued. “We had to move. It was hot. It was crowded. But, we overcame it, kicked its ass, and did it better.”
