i was very lucky that becky of canadian improv duo iron cobra came through rochester on her way to atlanta where she was going to meet up with a) dad's garage for a week of improv shenanigans and b) her boyfriend. i felt like washington hosting a foreign dignitary. while in rochester, she participated in a craft fair / art show / rock show at door 7. becky makes buttons and 'zines, prints and even some tee-shirts, and her system for doing so is quite intricate.
i love it when people travel in crummy old suitcases. i've got one that we use in our apothecary improv shows, but i need more -- they have such an old-school feel to them, no?
becky at her table. we sat for a good five hours talking about improv and stuff. and buttons. paul even stopped by at one point and we ended the evening with a bunch of gci troupe-ers at macgregor's. good times.
a few of becky's sweetie pie press button jars. you can see, in the background, one of the exhibit's pieces of art: a lamp shining on a rotty old bush. But after a spell, we realized the shadow it cast was that of a person's profile. pret-ty nifty.
