musicircus at the MCA with friends...

...hi, folks...i'd like you to meet cadence's little friend ada grey...she is the daughter of my friends jenn and john, who are two of the coolest people i know...we went to the MCA for the megaperformance of john cage's musicircus on sunday afternoon with jenn and ada...

...coincidentally, ada was the bestower of the birthday gift to cadence that has become one of mommy's favorites...she gave us a kick ass mix cd! a mix cd that starts off quite appropriately with the white stripes' 'we are going to be friends'...a mix cd that contains interpol, wilco, sleater-kinney, the magnetic fields, spoon, ida, zapruder point, and other mega cool bands...a mix cd that came with LINER NOTES, i'll have you know...

...so back to the musicircus...this was a megaperformance made up of numerous simultaneous performances all going on on the grounds and in the building of chicago's Museum of Contemporary Art...it was free to the public, and there were a ton of people there despite the intermittent rain outside...

...it was a wild and raucously fun time! there was stuff going on everywhere, and you just kinda had to go with the flow of bodies streaming from one performance to the next...

...the really cool thing was that you could also look at the art while you were there, and it was a different experience amidst the chaos and noise than what you would expect sans crazy performances...sometimes it was hard to distinguish what was actually part of the museum exhibits and what was part of the performances...

anywho, more photos are over here on my flickr account...
