SUMMARY:Cocaine Yogi: My Reluctant Spiritual Journey | A Night with Comedian Andie Main
DESCRIPTION:Tickets: https://www.tickettomato.com/event/9836 \nUsing the chakras as a mile marker for her journey\, Andie Main tells the story of how she went from being a punk-rock coke dealer\, to an alcoholic stand-up comic\, to a now sober and disabled yoga teacher.  \nIn this darkly comedic solo show\, she discusses the cosmic struggle of practicing yoga while suffering from a fused spine brought on by the rare disease Ankylosing Spondylitis. \nIn her latest hour\, she has constructed a deeply personal\, yet universal story that explores the mysteries of the universe\, and also that one time she knocked two people over in yoga. \nAndie Main is a stand up comedian now based in Portland OR\, after living in Denver and New York City. She has two albums available for streaming\, produced by the darlings at Blonde Medicine Records; Magpie and Rocky Mountain Bi. \nShe has opened for some of the best comics ever like Kyle Kinane\, Dave Hill\, Natasha Leggero\, Moshe Kasher\, Russell Peters\, and Janeane Garafalo. She’s also performed in many esteemed festivals across the country like Bumbershoot\, Sketchfest and Red Clay Comedy Festival.  \nWhen she’s not on stage\, she can be found hiking around the woods with her dog Sadie\, teaching a yoga class\, or going on terrible first dates which she will ruthlessly mine for material.  \nDoors open at 6:30pm. 18+. Indoor show. Pets not allowed. Tickets are non-refundable. Questions? Email gorgespeakeasy@gmail.com.

SUMMARY:Volcano Listening Project
DESCRIPTION:Doors at 4:30 and 6:30 p.m.\, shows at 5:00 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. PDT. (If the event is sold out\, unclaimed seats will be released to the waitlist fifteen minutes prior to the show.) \nWhere: Columbia Center for the Arts\, 215 Cascade Ave.\, Hood River\, OR 97031 \nSTORY: Volcanic eruptions can perturb global climate\, build mountains\, and reshape human civilizations. They can be deadly\, but the deep roots of volcanoes also provide a foundry for critical minerals that enable modern society. In these ways and others\, volcanoes have inspired scientists and artists alike for thousands of years. The Volcano Listening Project explores connections between scientific research and artistic perspectives of volcanoes\, developing tools to represent data through sound that draw equally from data science\, volcanology\, and new music. ‘Sonification’\, the display of data using sound\, provides a powerful way to understand complex signals such as are emerging with new monitoring capabilities and can enable volcano science. In equal part\, sonification of volcanic data can trigger an emotional response\, and thus lead to compelling music. This program will showcase volcano music and the science behind it\, led by University of Oregon professor/violinist Leif Karlstrom and featuring an ensemble of internationally recognized musicians: Todd Sickafoose\, Idit Shner\, Adam Roskiewicz\, and Jonny Rodgers. Featuring composer\, Marc Evanstein. \nAbout the Performers:\n\nLeif Karlstrom came from a family of professional musicians and earth scientists\, and has built a career in both domains. As a violinist he toured nationally and internationally with the bluegrass band Front Country and Small Town Therapy. As a scientist he is an associate professor at the University of Oregon\, where he runs a research group that studies volcanic processes from current activity at Kilauea volcano to climate-altering Large Igneous Province events.

SUMMARY:Volcano Listening Project
DESCRIPTION:Doors at 4:30 and 6:30 p.m.\, shows at 5:00 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. PDT. (If the event is sold out\, unclaimed seats will be released to the waitlist fifteen minutes prior to the show.) \nWhere: Columbia Center for the Arts\, 215 Cascade Ave.\, Hood River\, OR 97031 \nSTORY: Volcanic eruptions can perturb global climate\, build mountains\, and reshape human civilizations. They can be deadly\, but the deep roots of volcanoes also provide a foundry for critical minerals that enable modern society. In these ways and others\, volcanoes have inspired scientists and artists alike for thousands of years. The Volcano Listening Project explores connections between scientific research and artistic perspectives of volcanoes\, developing tools to represent data through sound that draw equally from data science\, volcanology\, and new music. ‘Sonification’\, the display of data using sound\, provides a powerful way to understand complex signals such as are emerging with new monitoring capabilities and can enable volcano science. In equal part\, sonification of volcanic data can trigger an emotional response\, and thus lead to compelling music. This program will showcase volcano music and the science behind it\, led by University of Oregon professor/violinist Leif Karlstrom and featuring an ensemble of internationally recognized musicians: Todd Sickafoose\, Idit Shner\, Adam Roskiewicz\, and Jonny Rodgers. Featuring composer\, Marc Evanstein. \nAbout the Performers:\n\nLeif Karlstrom came from a family of professional musicians and earth scientists\, and has built a career in both domains.
