tour - cincinnati


Show was at the Art Damage Lodge, once the meeting place for the Cummingsville chapter of freemasons in Cincinnati. What is it about this secretive organization that spooks me? Conceptually I'm in support of their central preoccupations revolving around "charitable work within a local or wider community, moral uprightness (in most cases requiring a belief in a Supreme Being) as well as the development and maintenance of fraternal friendship." Maybe it's the use of symbols or discreet rituals or maybe the hole in the floor of an Art Damage resident ... with a hook directly above and a spacious cell below. My imagination is spinning.

The show. The prowess of C. Spencer Yeh's improv violin is notable. He is definitely one of the most focused performers I know. And a nice guy to top it off. (aa)
