Well, another Andes show down, much more to go! Pictures are now up from The Andes’ show at McAuliffe’s Pub last Saturday night, January 11th, where they played with national act Small Town Sleeper, a band from Ohio who have gone on tour with Daughtry and played the Bradley Center. If only. Anywho, check out the new pics only at their MySpace. Meanwhile, the shows keep rolling along as they are slated to play at Michigan’s Pub (on scenic Michigan Ave) in Racine on March 1st as part of Thoughts for Food. So don’t miss it!

They have three fingers and one thumb. your middle and ring finger fit into the middle finger of the glove! The hand lines have been outlined in white embroidery thread to give the gloves an even greater cartoony effect.

There is a new website based out of Franksville (just outside Racine) that allows its artistic users to upload images of their artwork, on any medium they want, and to name a selling price, with part of the proceeds going to the respective artist’s school alumni association, as well as to the artists themselves. OnCampusCreations features the artwork of collegiates around the country displaying their original art pieces along with their personal background. A fascinating way to view art while appreciating the fact that you’re helping out a struggling artist.
