Come on out Halloween night to Hammerhead Sushi bar, 2858 West Berry Street, Fort Worth, Tx 76109.  10p-2am.  They will be serving up sushi, drink specials, costume contests and more while I play some beats along with some guest DJ's.  Cover is only 10.00 and all proceeds go to Safe Haven which helps women and children with family violence.  Check out more on this organization at www.safehaventc.org.  I'm glad to be able to help out!

 

Back To The Future was and will remain one of the best films / trilogies ever created.  While we’re all still waiting patiently for our hoverboards, maybe by 2015?!?!  Michael J. Fox brought the next best thing to his visit to The Late Show with David Letterman on Thursday night: The new Nike MAGs, a line of Back to the Future Part II-inspired shoes. MJ showed off the kicks, which are almost an exact replica of the ones worn by Marty McFly himself in the 1989 movie. (Sadly there’s no power laces, but they do light up.) MJ explained that the limited edition shoes - 1,500 of them - will be auctioned off on Nike’s eBay site and that the proceeds will go to his Parkinson’s research foundation. As MJ put it, the coveted shoes will go to 3 groups of “people with major joneses”: Sneakerheads, Back to the Future fanatics, and the Parkinson’s community that want to help advance research. Better yet, Mj revealed that Google co-founder Sergey Brin will match up to $50 million.

I gotta hand it to 'em, this is a great idea in every way!  First set sold in Calli for an estimated 36k!  Furthermore, my hopes were shattered with the average ebay auction price ranged in the 5k-11k range, yet you still may want to shell out your kids' college fund for a set of cool kicks! Most auctions end today!  Good luck!  Go to: http://nikemag.ebay.com/shoes to help out in the cure for Parkinson's.

Opens August 16th - closing reception September 24th

I am having a 10 year retrospective art show.  All of the pieces in the show will be up for auction with a low starting bid of 20% of normal gallery prices.  Almost one piece from every series of work from the last ten years will be on display.  Come by and check out what I've been up to and how my work has evolved and changed over the years.  There's no pressure to bid, just come by and hang out where there will be music, food and drinks.  There will be drawings, paintings, prints and even a bronze cast sculpture up for bid.  This event will be held at Cut Salon at 620 Jennings Ave, Fort Worth, Texas 76104.  You can contact the salon for store hours at 817.923.8886.  As soon as the artwork goes up, you will be welcome to stop by, look around, and even bid on any piece you wish.  Bidding will end during the closing reception on September 24th at 8pm.  Closing reception hours are 6pm-9pm.  Go to my facebook page and check out the album '10 Year Retrospective & Silent Auction @ Cut Salon'.  In the album, you can check out all pieces up for bid.  Just go to:  www.facebook.com/nickckirk  and if you're not a friend, just send a request!  You can also contact me at nickckirk@yahoo.com for any question.
