| - I visited this cute little venue for the first time this weekend and I'm proud to announce that the whole vibe of the Paper Heart Gallery brought me great happiness. I was there for a couple quick drinks with friends at the icansmellyourbrains.com site launch party. (Awkward to say, but a sponsor of Zombie Prom, so rock on!) We arrived fairly late to the festivities, but still managed to catch part of Mad Monster Party, a really old claymation film displayed on a huge drop down screen over the stage. I was pleasantly surprised to see plenty of cushy seating available for me to relax with my two dollar PBR.
There were some excellent pieces of art displayed in the namesake 'gallery' of the Paper Heart, and the spider web of rooms wasn't conventional so it added a bit of fun as I browsed. I was so preoccupied with checking out the art that I didn't realize I had followed my boyfriend right into the men's restroom, which lacked a door for some reason. No art was observed in there, but apologies were profuse, as were embarrassed giggles.
Several of the people I was with were sad to hear that Scandalesque, a local burlesque act, will no longer be performing regularly here. But fear not, you can still catch them touring in the area, so hurrah for skimpily dressed vaudevillians! I'm definitely down to check this place out at First Friday sometime or to catch a show and enjoy the hip, urban ambiance.
