Time is tickin...

Tomorrow we open "Black Jim Studio & Gallery" with an Exibition by Sofia Nilsson & Open stage for everyone that wanna perform, sing a song, read poetry, dance, yeah whatever you come up with. It starts at 20.00. Welcome!

Today Ryan Nash came by at 10, and we worked on the stage for a couple of hours. When Ryan went home me & Sofia painted it, and tried to figure out witch painting that should be in the background of the stage.

Yesterday night we saw poetry at Mano, it was crowded and afterwards we went to Tony´s place for a late jam-session. On the way home we also ran into Mando Diao singer Gustav Norén and Sofia wasn´t late to ask for a picture. She invited him to the opening at Saturday but unfortunally they where leaving town after signing records at Saturn friday afternoon.

So, that´s the latest news from us dear readers.
