#ypsilanti michigan

[rose-makes]

i did so much prep for t4t4palestine today oh my god and i am still in no way ready for friday

over 50 pins prepped with probably 50 more to punch out and put together, then assemble (pins will be $3 or 2 for $5)

8 prints and 6 mini prints printed on my last two sheets of photo paper. still have to cut them out (prints will be $5, mini prints free to the first 6 people who spend $20+)

5 crochet scrunchies done today, ideally 5 more to go (they’re the most expensive item at $10 so I’m not banking on selling all of them tbh. but I definitely want to have a pricier handmade item for people who want to donate more, since 100% of my proceeds are being donated. im ‘losing’ so much money by doing this but god if i can raise like $100 just from my stuff alone for this family i will be thrilled)

AND I’m performing a set at the fundraiser. when the first time i performed in front of people in 9+ years was monday. so good god i have to practice.

tomorrow is going to be such a long day

if you want to catch my stuff in person t4t4p is at Regal Beagle 817 E Michigan Ave, Ypsilanti, MI this upcoming Friday (july 12th 2024)! Doors open at 6:30pm, $10 or PWYC cover, there will be a bunch of drag performers!

Sufjan Stevens | For the Widows in Paradise, For the Fatherless in Ypsilanti

I was dressed embarrassment I was dressed in wine If you had a part of me Will you take your time? Even if I come back, even if I die Is there some idea to replace my life? Like a father to impress Like a mother's mourning dress If you ever make a mess I'll do anything for you

posting this on tumblr is a longshot because I doubt I’ll reach local people but

HEY! ARE U IN OR CLOSE TO SOUTHEAST MICHIGAN? DO YOU LIKE DRAG AND MUSIC AND OTHER PERFORMANCE? DO YOU WANT TO DO SOMETHING TO ACTIVELY SUPPORT A FREE PALESTINE AND SUPPORT PALESTINIAN FAMILIES? ARE YOU FREE THIS FRIDAY NIGHT?

Come out to T4T4PALESTINE on JULY 12th! doors open at 6:30! $10 or Pay What You Can. 18+ only.

It’s a variety benefit show featuring primarily drag, but there will also be other performances (me! hello! I’ll be doing a few acoustic songs!), and loads of vendors (also me! palestine + pronoun pins! scrunchies! prints!). ALL DONATIONS FROM THIS SHOW (and all money from products sold from my vending booth) will go directly to the Palestinian family being benefited this show.

THIS SHOW IS AT REGAL BEAGLE IN YPSILANTI, MICHIGAN.

Regal Beagle’s address is 817 E Michigan Ave

Regal Beagle is a Cash Only bar, but there is an ATM on site (up to a $4 fee). Remember to bring singles to tip the performers, and as much as you’d like for drinks and to donate!

I hope to see you there!

If you can’t make it, or aren’t local and still want to contribute, here is the link to help the family this benefit show is for.

These songs are like.. running parallel to each other… the melody in the beginning “I’d do anything for you/ I did everything for you” and “I would do anything she wants me to/ anything she wants me to do, I would do”

I normally try to avoid getting all "real life" on Tumblr, but also wanted to signal boost this (enough that I'm about to Blaze this):

The University of Michigan Gilbert and Sullivan Society (UMGASS) will be holding auditions for the Fall Semester's production of Ruddigore on September 11th-13th, 2023.

If you live in Southeastern MI, and like to act and sing (and possibly dance!) then please check out more information about the show and the audition process here:

Ensemble members are only required two nights a week for most of the rehearsal process, so it's not a big commitment.

ALSO: they are looking for people to direct and music-direct their next show, Iolanthe, which will be produced from Jan-April of 2024.

More info on how to get involved as a prod-staff member here:

I learned about this from a fellow Bandcamper. If you're looking for an easy way to learn about new music, simply follow some Bandcampers who you respect or have similar tastes. The click the lightning bolt at the top right of the Bandcamp page and scroll away.

Grasses are a Ypsilanti, Michigan band. It doesn't seem like they're active anymore as their Facebook page and Bandcamp page are from 2018. This is delightful indie rock in the vein of 28th Day, Yo La Tengo, Barbara Manning and R.E.M.

This cassette looks to be self-released.

Help I just had to check someone’s ID for work and he’s from Saginaw so I was like oooo Saginaw just like quietly to myself and he goes 👀 do you know someone from Saginaw?

I had to take a second and swallow my pride and go

no… my favorite band is just from near there…

i'm from michigan and the best way to describe this state is beautifully mediocre. and no we aren't all from detroit

i understand michigan to have many stellar regional cuisines as well as a wide selection of cities, such as "ypsilanti"
