Crafts in the 'Boro

Murfreesboro's ongoing battle with summertime boredom has been well documented in these pages as of late. Usually the cure for the Bucket City Blues is a steady regiment of cheap booze and recreational drug use with the occasional rock show in some poor sap’s bedroom. But this weekend the Wolfcastle Collective puts an atypical spin your typical Sautrday, asking attendees to participate in "arguably the best grade school arts-and-crafts activity of all time" while getting smashed. Multi-dimensional sculpture-ish stuff based around the horribly-awkward theme of puberty, plus local Dadaist punks MEEMAW and angular St. Louis indie-rockers Target Market and So Many Dynamos—it’s a recipe for radness, and when you’re through with wacky field day activities like the three-legged-race and the egg toss, you’ll have no excuse for being a party pooper. Unless of course you black out, then you have a fine excuse. For details and contest parameters, visit gohomefatboy.com.
