Pushing Up Pumpkins 5 and Mercury Tattoo's 10th Anniversary party

This year was a special one for Mercury Tattoo. To go along with the annual art show, we celebrated our 10 Year Anniversary. The show opened on October 30th and was followed by a continued party down the street at the Blue Comet. We were lucky enough to have some good friends, Jay Berndt and Chris Fullerton play an amazing show to help us ring in another year!

Also, to go along with the party and art show, Scott was able to hang a selection of his personal work. He has been especially busy so there are a half dozen or so new paintings as well as a selection of his work from the 4 previous Pushing Up Pumpkins shows. He will be posting on his own blog about all of those as soon as time allows.

A special thanks goes out to Holly Frabizio and Marcelo Rivera for all the time and effort they put into the decorations, and again to Holly for her skills baking and preparing most of the amazing food. I say most because I should point out we also got some pretty incredible vegan goodies from Vegan Treats in Bethlehem PA.

Below are Photos from the art show, and from the Blue Comet. Most of the artwork is for sale so feel free to call the shop to check pricing and availability.

 Jay Berndt from the party at the Blue Comet

Here is a video from our dear friend Jay Berndt from his Cd release party for "Sad Bastard Songs" The album that Scott did the cover painting for!
Jay also taped his set from The Blue Comet and HERE is a link to his song "Black, Tan, and Wasted" from that night.

I wish I had a video of Chris Fullerton. He played an amazing show ( I know, I have the mp3 files from his set). Check out the link to his myspace and hear some of his damn fine country music!
