The second annual Electric City Nightof the Undead is quickly approaching and we would like to invite your business to jump on board for the event. It will take place Saturday,October 30, 2010beginning at 5PM and is sure to be a ‘killer’evening.
The host is The Electric City Tattoo Gallery. Last year’s event was a great success for a first annual, but this year we would like it to be even bigger. We are proposing to have a zombie takeover of the city of Scranton. With “Night of the Undead” as the theme you are free to interpret it how ever you feel would most benefit your business and its clientele, but the main factor that will tie each venue together will be the idea of being able to get ‘zombified’. We would like each of the venues involved to either supply or contact us so that we may help supply an on-site make-upartist to do zombie make-up throughout the evening. In addition, we would also like businesses to offer ‘perks’ to those who do dress up (ie. drink specials, zombie parties, giveaways, or entertainment) to incite motivation to participate.
Advertising: We are asking that each business involved pitch in $100 for flyer, newspaper and radioadvertising and The Electric City Tattoo Gallery, as the host, willmatch this contribution up to $1000. All the businesses involved will be featured in flyer, newspaper and radio ads and a map of each venueinvolved will also be provided throughout the evening of the event toall participants.
Deadline: September 1, 2010
Contact: Please feel free tocontact me for further inquiry or to get on board for the festivities.

Opening on September 24, 2010, is the Everhart Museum’s Gallery One exhibit “Everhart SPARCS: Raising Awareness about Water in the Ecosystem”, a community-based project highlighting the Museum’s collaborative science education programs with Audubon Elementary School and Howard Gardner School of Discovery.
Over the course of the 2009-2010 school year, students engaged in a hands-on program focused on how all forms of life depend on water for survival. Both in the classroom and at the Museum, they learned about conservation issues and how they can make a difference. In addition to projects at the Everhart, the students explored local water resources including Nay Aug Gorge, learned about recycling and pollution control, and visited Lackawanna State Park.
“Everhart SPARCS: Raising Awareness about Water in the Ecosystem” illustrates the interconnectedness of water and resources to the health of animals, plants, insects, and soil. In addition, collaborations such as “Everhart SPARCS” allow the Museum to nurture creativity and showcase artistic excellence in our community.
“Here We Are In Spain” is Scranton’s very own improvisational comedy group. They have performed at the Del Close Festival (3 times), the Office Convention, Mt. Airy Resort and Casino and many other venues in the Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York area. Come down early and get a good seat as you will asked to partake in the humor and fun. Bring your clever suggestions as you see them make up scenes based on these suggestions right on the spot! Bring a lot of friends, the more people the funnier it is!
When? Oct. 8, 8 P.M.
Price? $7

“It’s improvisational music and improvisational art. A band will play a few sets, and artists (as well as non-artists) will come and draw/paint/sketch/doodle/create to the music. Ted, the organizer of such events, often illustrates the group performing and uses his art as the poster for the next time the group plays. It’s basically the greatest thing to hit Scranton since coal. Seriously though, it is.”
— Chris Connors, of the Scranton Fusion Quartet, Tyler Dempsey Massive, and Chet One Two

The 18th Annual Artists and Musicians (and others) canoe/kayak trip on the Susquehanna River in Bradford County, PA between Ulster and Wyalusing will be on Saturday and Sunday, July 18th and 19th.
We depart around noon from the bridge in Ulster, PA (just off US RTE 220) with a leisurely paddle down to the mouth of the Towanda Creek, one mile past the RTE 6 bridge. We camp there for the night and paint or play music around the campfire. Arrangements are made to leave instruments and other valuables nearby. The next day we take the long and beautiful paddle down to the Terrytown access point to finish.
There is no cost, just bring your own boat and gear or save yourself the hassle and rent from Dave and Melody Buck at Endless Mountain Outfitters in Sugar Run, PA. Call them to reserve you stuff and arrange for delivery/pickup at 570-746-9140 or kayaks@ptd.net.
Come for just either day or the weekend- either way it is lots of fun and on one of the most beautiful sections of river in the northeast! The distance is about 25 miles in all and the river is good for paddlers of all levels as it is mostly calm and easy flowing with some rapids.
See you then! Regards, Brian Keeler

In January, theElectric Theatre Company presents Mark Twain’s ‘The Diaries of Adam and Eve’ by David Birney. This is a Regional Premiere directed by Barbara Blackledge and featuring Heather Stuart & Conor McGuigan.
This delightful adaptation of Mark Twain’s stories is set in a formal garden as the first couple struggles to come to grips with creation. Adam is puzzled by the odd new arrival in the garden, and is suspicious of her disturbing appetite for fruit. Eve, believing herself to be a kind of experiment, is curious about the other experiment in the garden, surmising that it might be a rather strange genre of architecture. Eve gives names to everything and, as Adam tries to ignore this, she seeks companionship among the animals — particularly with a certain snake. Twain’s characters are as charming as they are human, and the play, filled with his wit and humor, also touches us and tells us something about how we live.
