Center of the Universe continues it's odd tradition
5-6pm at Lenin Square (intersection of Fremont Place N. and N. 36th St.) 
FREE!!!

Leave it to Fremont to create such an odd tradition as lighting a communist statue like a Christmas tree.  With the help of City Lights Sign Company and a couple of local artists, we'll be bringing back the lights again this year with festivities in Lenin Square from 5-6pm.  Enjoy live music by Rabbit Stew String Band and free refreshments: Peet's coffee, sweetened mint tea (for the kids), hot cocoa, and Mighty-O Donuts!  The neighborhood will welcome Santa bearing oranges for the kiddos, who then get to flip the switch to illuminate the statue around 5:30pm.  Don't be late or you'll miss the showdown!

Venue: Studio R
315 N. 36th St., Ste# 201 (2nd floor, above Piece of Mind)
Artist: Bren Sullivan, Sculpture and Rabbit Stew String Band, Bluegrass
Growing up in rural Mississippi, Sullivan strived to live up to the religious and cultural standards of how a "proper southern girl" looks and behaves - perfect and pretty.  Her imperfect doll-like figurative work represents a sense of re-birth and ascension to a spiritual place free from the imposed bonds of vanity and perfection, religious dogma, and attitudes of intolerance.  Rabbit Stew String Band will be adding live, toe-tapping bluegrass to the gallery atmosphere from 7:30-9pm.
