We’ve been playing around and have been practicing with new types of inks. Inks you can buy and inks you can make, dyes and more. You can learn about some of the new silkscreening methods we’ve been working with at the playground?

This is a sweet video, with some neat music. Look for the radical looking muslim guy, he’s sweet!

Ugly Tasty
Do you like food? Well so do I. But I also like people, art, and creativity. So here’s a project I’ve started called WTF Potluck where each month we shall have a themed potluck at The Alibi.
The theme for this potluck is Ugly Tasty. So bring along all those oddly shaped, brown-green tinted meals that still taste delicious and share it with friends. I’m planning on bringing vomit-omlete, you’ll see it when you go to:
The Alibi
613 N Main Ann Arbor MI

We build the stage and now we have a venue. We’ve called it
The Alibi
We’re hoping to have art, music, and awesome shows there as often as we can. But if you’d like to curate a show you are most welcome, just Contact us.
Here’s the info on our grand opening show:
A stage was forged over the last few weeks with my freinds Matt , Arman , and Adam , we bought a bunch of cinderblocks and lay wood atop it. And surprise! It was stable enough to call Ska bands over to trample all over. We labeled it “The Alibi” and now we have our first show:

This groundhog’s day help break in Ann Arbor’s newest music venue THE ALIBI !!!

We’ve finally done it.
After months of planning and deliberation we are doing it. We’ve built a stage out of cinderblocks and sheet wood and we’ve transformed the old shop into a venue. It should be grand. I’ll give you the info as we develop it.

Hello all!
I’ve been dreaming about owning my own laser cutter for a while now, but I’d rather not wait so I made one. I hope you like it and are inspired to make one.
Here’s the project description:
http://www.instructables.com/id/Laser-cutter-start-slicing-stuff-for-under-50-dol/
Uses: A few uses that I’m considering:
To make a stencil for cd’s/cd cases
opaque block for silk screening exposure
cut packaging paper for boxes

Hey all.
