Japanese Nautica
If you, like me, are heading to the Decemberists show at the Tabernacle (warning: that’s a MySpace page) tomorrow night, let me recommend you a nice appetizer to the evening. Tattoo-artist/painter Samuel Parker currently has a show up at the Inman Park location of Inman Perk. It’s a handsome little collection of paintings with a kind of spooky, monstrous theme — American Shedu and krakens and an elephant-headed fish-thing (that’s probably my favorite) — and a recurring Japanese-print style. All in all, a nice fit for a Decemberists show that sure to be heavy on the Crane Wife songs.

tonight was a tough choice, given that mutemath is playing uptown at the roxy….in the end went with mutemath.
Can speak for both myself and husband when I say that we are very jealous you are seeing The Decemberists. V. jealous. Should be a good one, and we will expect a review from you. How’s that for putting you on the spot?
Pretty good as spot-putting goes. Challenge accepted.
