Picks!!!!!!!!

Hey folks,
Its the 3 year anniversary of my Copycat at Ottos this Wednesday. Honestly, I can't believe what it has grown into. Every one is getting better and better. Who knew that a one off I did in 2005 at the late great Rififi would turn into such a long running thing?
Stop by on Wednesday for two great bands, a great guest dj and the return of the Cat Scratch for Five Bucks all night. Those who had it last year may or may not remember how good it was.

Zone Zero
AN exhibition of contemporary work of inner space. Zone Zero is the center, a brain tuned to its own synaptic snaps. It is a state of inner dialogue, or inner monologue that is active, not reactive. It is consciousness; it is stream of consciousness; the world is not enough. To fearful outsiders, it appears as a barren landscape; however, the initiated know the zone to be infinitesimally expansive. It collapses onto itself in mirrored feedback. It is elemental.
Our first extended art show at Port d’Or starts at Zone Zero. This show brings together artists working in performance art, film, experimental theater, the art world, the underground, and the outdoors.
With Ben Boatright, Crow Hill Gnostic Temple, Keith Connolly and Tom Thayer, Kyle Eyre Clyde, Dylan Hay, Natsuko Uchino, Mary Kidd, and Turner Williams.

Official site: http://www.geminiandscorpio.com/events.html
Tix: http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/119199
Join us as we raise the massive square-rigged sails of New York's only Tall Ship for a surreal dance party on the high seas. Rebuilt from original plans borrowed from the National Archives, the 160-foot Clipper City, with its masts rising 135' off the deck, is a faithful replica of the clipper ships that plied America's waters more than a century ago. DJ Joro Boro is on decks all night, keeping it sizzling with his signature EthnoMesh Megalophonia mix. Expect wild music to delight your ears, colorful costumes to delight your eyes, full cash bar to delight your gullet, and plenty of surprises to delight your soul. Find yourself face to face with the Statue of Liberty with a cocktail in one hand, a dance partner in the other, and towering sails soaring above. Dress: gypsy fabulous (though we're taking it easy on costumes this time).
