A Variety of Shows and Parties Coming Up...

But before that, it would be remiss not to acknowledge this is coming in the midst of terrible suffering and horror, and I wish for each of you that you're staying safe, healthy, and doing everything you're able to bring peace and health upon this world, for everyone

and now for something completely different....

Sunday May 31st, 12noon CDT/6pmUK on Zoom! https://us02web.zoom.us/j/84747802464

Timebank/HUMANs International Quiz Show/Trivia Night!!! Our first was so much fun we're making it a regular thing...
Many of you know I work with Mutual Aid Networks, and we're in a global cooperative network called the HUMANs that connects us in a learning and mutual aid community aroudn the world. We've started doing this regular quiz show party in partnership with our Hull UK partner project, and this is the second. It's SO MUCH FUN, and you're welcome to join. I'll also play a song at this one.

The quiz will be co-hosted by UK & USA quizmasters, David Gautier (UK) and Tony Anderson (US - host at Mickey's!).

This is one in a regular series, Timebank Hull and East Riding's Timebank quiz -- and those of you who have attended previous ones can be testament to the the experience being delightfully random and hilarious! Mixing up perfomance and skill shares offered by members in the intermission, (eg singing along out of sync and discovering origami!). This along with more traditional quiz questions and silly hats/fancy dress (but this is not compulsory!). - who knew that online quizzes could be such fun!

Mother Fool's 25th Birthday Party Variety Show Starring Stephanie and Jon!
25 years ago we bought Mother Fool's Coffeehouse from the late great Jean Lister - thank you Jean for your enormous gift to us and the enormous gift you gave to our neighborhood when you created Mother Fool's.

It's a weird time to celebrate our birthday, but we hope the fact that we'll be streaming will help you join from far and wide. Featuring musical guests, special interviews, a photo and video trip down memory lane, and more.

Stephanie Rearick w/ special guest Def || Sonic opening the show

Def || Sonic (formerly All Good Things) is one of my favorite local artists, cool songscapes with loops and deft instrumentation and vocals. Shows tend to be a visual treat as well. He'll stream live from Mother Fool's at 8, then I'll stream live from home - with my own piano and all my instruments (including loops, trumpet, casio), and special guest Bucky Pope (we play together in his band Negative Example, he was front man for the Tar Babies) on one thing, from a safely distant place. I'm also honored to be playing the premier of my version of a song I just set for Beau O'Reilly (Chicago, Crooked Mouth, former Maestro Subgum), wonderful lyrics he gave me to write for. Thank you Beau.

Needless to say (well I'm saying it anyway) this is a special show for me. I hope you can make it.

Friday June 26 + Saturday June 27 SJC Jubilee!
A weekend of music, decentralized partying, more quiz show fun, and much much more. To fund and celebrate our Social Justice Center, the home of our Mutual Aid Workspace (another Mutual Aid Network project, co-working and collaboration space, also in need of subsidies during this time so feel free to check this out too)

Here's looking forward to the days we can see each other in person again and meanwhile, hope to connect with you somehow...

Take care,
Stephanie
