TWO shows! Thursday and Friday!

Hey Seismonauts!

We the Princess have a very exciting, albeit last-minute, series of announcements!

We are playing TWO shows this week, TWO nights in a row - one on Thursday and one on Friday! These will be two of our most exciting shows ever! We swear we don't hide things from you until the last minute on purpose.

THURSDAY NIGHT, OCTOBER 27th (that's tomorrow, or tonight, depending on when you're reading this!)



You knew the day would come: Princess Seismograph is playing her own Salon. We have a huge exciting announcement and a bunch of cool songs up our sleeves!

But surely there are others at this Salon, you ask? Why yes! Join us on Thursday and you will meet

Van Choojitarom,
Maria Sputnik
and the Mongrel Jews


Choojitarom is an utterly unclassifiable writer with a Dadaist/burning-necktie performance streak; come emotionally prepared. Maria Sputnik is a comics artist and co-author of the cult hit 44 Presidents. (Here's a comic the two of them did together, Great Darkness National Park-- it's one of the best things we've ever read.) The Mongrel Jews are a mostly-family street-folk act of passion, intoxication, and drama; they're a band we love to play with and you will love to hear.

Here are the details:

We open doors at 7:30, and start at 8 pm. Cover is $5, getting you food, drink, and art. As always, the Salon will be held at the Third Space, ground floor back side of the INScape Building, 815 Airport Way S. in the International District.

You're welcome to BYOB and potluck to add to cheer. More information, as usual, at http://princessseismograph.blogspot.com/!

and FRIDAY, OCTOBER 28th:



Together at last! Band/art collective/naturally-occuring hallucinogen PRINCESS SEISMOGRAPH and band/vocal and violin orgy/cynical party-in-a-can LANDLORD's DAUGHTER will be hosting a night of music, costume, stunt drawing and revelry at Cafe Racer on October 28th, 2011.

The live drawing, courtesy of Billis Helg and Carl Nelson, will begin at 8:30 PM, and the music will begin at 9 PM. The rock and the love, however, are forever.

Friday October 28th
at CAFE RACER in Seattle
(5828 Roosevelt Way NE
Seattle, WA 98105)
PRINCESS SEISMOGRAPH 9 PM
LANDLORD's DAUGHTER 10 PM

with live drawing by BILLIS HELG and CARL NELSON.

WOW! Brains in jars, comics, costumes, live stunt drawing, exciting secret announcement, famous Seismograph-recipe sangria - you gotta make at least one of these shows!

We, the Princess, love you.

- Cait, Jay, Helen

The Inaugural Salon is Upon Us!

Hey Seismonauts! We're back and you know we missed us. Some of us took a little break to get married. But now for something completely different:
























We are ever so proud to introduce, Princess Seismograph's Salon! (Click on that owl's face, go ahead.)

A new series of art/music happenings, readings, and shows - bringing together our favorite poets, cartoonists, bands, troubadours, video artists, and others from Seattle and everywhere else. We will be selecting three acts for each show - absolutely anything might happen.

This coming Friday is our very first Salon and it promises to be a fantastic time. Won't you join us?

(Addendum to the poster: due to sudden circumstances Jennifer Denrow will not be able to make it on Friday. We are working on lining up a new act to replace her and rest assured, there WILL be three performers and the new situation will be handpicked from the finest.)

The Flying Pony

Ding dang. We back from the minkey.




We ended up one night with Chris who makes the awesome comic Zebratron in his friend's amazing apartment full of musical instruments (he said "a lot of instruments" but i was not prepared for what awaited us) and ANYWAY POINT IS guy gave us this pony. We flew back home on it. Thanks guy!

We also got to hang out with the delicious Maria Sputnik (of Forty Four Presidents fame. Seriously. Buy this book, I ain't joking. ) and so many other really luscious book and object makers.... Thanks for making them objects.


I got sick immediately upon return pony landing so I don't think my brain works too good right now. Jay and I are making a APE comic for his kenyon blogue. Stay tuned! See you on the moon!

staple tunnel

It is a time of much stapling and cutting here in the Princess's subterranean lair.

Last night we tried to sew some bindings with my demon of a sewing machine and it was a catasterpiece. Fortunately we had colored staples instead. I have to admit, we got pretty excited about the colored staples. Do you want to know what color they were? They were green.
Also fortunately, we listened to the Ween album "White Pepper." Its invocation to be exactly where we were at was well met, and we were.
