Things of Note

--Friday, February 26th is the deadline to apply for an Arts Grant from the Kresge Foundation - this involves awarding 18 potential fellowships worth $25,000 and also what's vaguely scrawled as "professional development opportunities..." (which sounds weird when one applies it to Art...) - but you can find info at Kresge's Detroit site here - and more info regarding the grants here.

--Friday, February 26th, at the Magic Stick...is also your chance to see a farewell show for the guitarist (Zach) and trombonist (Christian) of Child Bite - as that band transmogrifies into its next stage of development. Marco Polio & The New Vaccines are working on a new album - and will open things up - meanwhile, it'll be great to see Terrible Twos again, also...been a while, it seems.

--Wednesday, February 24th - will, apparently, not be the day Philly-based/chilly-dark-wave-dance-pop diggers Cold Cave comes to the Crofoot in Pontiac...Matador recently announced an unintended cancellation. Ah well... That's Life (Magazine)
