WORLD HOOP DAY WRAP UP

October 17th, 2010 · News, Past Events

The St. Louis hooping community celebrated World Hoop Day 2010 at the Botanical Gardens on October 10.  It was a truly magical event.  The afternoon included an array of hoop dance by the STL Hoop Club’s performance group Cosmic Synergy and friends, a variety of hoop workshops, and just plain hoopyness.   

 As an added bonus, we were able to raise awareness about hooping and collect for our hoop donation for the St. Louis School Dictrict.  Together we raised $250 and were donated 60 assembled hoops. 

Cosmic Synergy and Friends

THE WRAP UP-

In order to meet our goal of 100 assembled hoops, we will be constructing the last 40 needed hoops during Open Hoop Jams at the Koken Art Factory until we are finished.  If you would like to help, see our mini-blog post located to the right of the screen to see the latest info about meet-ups and happenings.

Midwest Mayhem

May 1st, 2009 · Upcoming Events

09_midwestmayhem-postcard_v1Midwest Mayhem, KDHX Community Media’s annual party for the public
Thursday, May 14, 2009 from 7 p.m. until 1 a.m.

There’s nothing quite like Midwest Mayhem at the City Museum. The musical lineup — from rock to blues to funk to country and beyond — is diverse, the setting delightfully chaotic, and the whole experience will rock you as only KDHX can.

This event takes place on four stages inside the City Museum, a 600,000 square foot feast for the eyes, body and ears. A self-described “children’s playground, funhouse, surrealistic pavilion, and architectural marvel made out of unique, found objects,” the museum is located at 701 North 15th Street in downtown Saint Louis.

Ten local bands — including Theodore, May Day Orchestra, the Funky Butt Brass Band, Rum Drum Ramblers, the Dock Ellis Band, the Grass Pack, the Blind Eyes, the Monads, Fred Friction and the combined musical forces of Art Dwyer, Tom Ray, John McHenry and Ron Edwards — will perform for the public at this annual KDHX party. KDHX programmers DJ Needles and DJ Al Swacker will be spinning records, and Lola Van Ella with the Alley Cat Revue, one of Saint Louis’s finest burlesque troupes, will be strutting their stuff.

Midwest Mayhem begins at 7:00 pm on Thursday, May 14, admission is $15 and all proceeds benefit KDHX Community Media (88.1 FM and TV 21+22)
