Tyler was an artist-For real this time.

Tyler Rauman’s vernissage went ahead this past friday after being postponed from earlier in the month by a power outtage. Adam and Tyler started it off with a synth jam, followed by Tyler’s solo project, Random Creature Generator, and finally Lil Pip on the mic with RCG making beats. Decorative cakes were rebaked and people put on their proverbial party hats for take two of this intentionally self-conscious look at celebrity and artistism.

Lil Pip and RCG played another set later that night at a house party up the street where I managed to get punched in the nose by the photographer who provided these shots. But I can’t blame her, I’ve been a complete klutz lately. Walking into people’s fists and all. I also got decked by a stool to the shin when a passerby hooked his foot in the leg of my chair at the Holla-Days party. I shouldn’t be allowed in public.
