The Good Soldier Schweik for Long Beach Opera – It’s a comedy, in English, based on a Czech novel about the start of WWI. Only 2 performances, each in a different theater, the first one being far superior and almost sold out – Get Tix here if u want.

This is the tipsy bar – which i think is quite a sublime little piece. The mugs attach magnetically to metal hidden under the top allowing repositioning of the mugs – and re-balancing or un-balancing of the bar without the mugs falling.

this bed is made from platforms and crates used in other scenes. The look is spoze to be very traveling troupe with a circus/military feel.

I got this green chair for $5. Making it into a wheelchair cost a bit more.

These sketches were rough early concepts. The birdcage was found on craigslist and i added the extra who-ha at the top. I think adding chandelier crystals to those chairs and cage was a bit of genius but that’s me talking about myself. And let me tell u what a bitch it is to paint a birdcage.

i’m hopping on Luke Nero’s back and we’re both having our birthdays at his club Mr Black Tues Dec 15 here.

The Good Soldier Schweik for Long Beach Opera – It’s a comedy, in English, based on a Czech novel about the start of WWI – if any of that interests you. There is also a scene with 5 guys in a bed together getting enemas. Maybe i should have gone with that for the poster image. There’s only 2 performances, each in a different theater, the first one being far superior I think – Get Tix here if u want.

…although mine isn’t little – but it is dirty!

“PARTY MONSTER” Closing Party 8pm – 2808 Elm St, LA CA, 90065

We’ll have SNOW CONE COCKTAILS again – will u be there? I hope so!

Details and more at JustinJorgensen.com

I had them for my “PARTY MONSTER” gallery installation opening – just add vodka to a regular “blue” or “red” flavored snow cone – OR – make a martini and pour it over a snow cone topped with an olive! Watch Santino and I illustrate their deliciousness below  – see all the pics from the opening night photo-booth here.

Because I insist on the best for my guests – and I having a unified theme – I arranged sponsorship with Prairie Vodka, an organic kosher vodka made in a very small town in Minnesota not far from where my “PARTY MONSTER” photos were taken. How much do we love their design and promo-packaging? – not to mention it won the Gold Medal Spirit Award at the 2008 Los Angeles International Wine & Spirit Awards. (Image from Notcot.com)

From Saturday night. There will be a closing party too if you missed the opening – (probably April 3rd). There’s an interview with me in Hi Fructose about the show here. I’m exhausted. There will also be a closing party Friday April 3 8-11.

PARTY MONSTER – It’s this Sat – 7-10pm north of Chinatown in LA

Waaaaayyy back in October 2007, my friend asked me if I’d be his one man art dept. for a music video shoot for a reality/game show on VH1 called “Shoot to Kill.” The show was two teams compete by remaking their version of a classic 80’s music video. You’re allowed limited crew, two days to shoot, and $500. That’s it. This was one of my set sketches for our “Walk Like an Egyptian” set.

The show was not a pilot, they shot six episodes and we were told the show would air in March of ‘08. Then August ‘08. Keep in mind we got these updates by running into one of the TWELVE executive producers at various restaurants and asking them what the deal was.

It’s almost February ‘09 now and there’s nothing to be found online about the show. Calls to VH1 and the production company go nowhere so I’m guessing it went to TV limbo. Which is sad ’cause there was a great interview where I’m referred to as lieutenant Sparkle, and argue with the director about the amount of gold and gayness in ancient Egypt.
