JigGsaw @ Mike & Molly's

Miss Anthropology — Mon, 01 Mar 2010 21:06:40 +0000

This past month, JigGsaw played two shows at Champaign’s own Mike & Molly’s. Needless to say, they rocked. If you’re going to be around the Champaign-Urbana area on Saturday March 13th, come out to Cowboy Monkey and see JigGsaw for yourself. The show starts at 10pm with a $5 cover and minimum age of 19 for entry. Rounding out the evening’s lineup are The Poets Dance (Rockford, IL) and Vanattica (Champaign, IL).

Urbana House Show

Miss Anthropology — Sun, 31 Jan 2010 23:03:21 +0000

JigGsaw played at a house party in Urbana this Saturday. Luckily for me, the house was a stone’s throw from my apartment.

I decided to bring over my fisheye and shoot a roll of film at the party.

Big Night Out

Miss Anthropology — Mon, 25 Jan 2010 19:32:52 +0000

Every year on January 22nd Eddie and I have a big night out in honor of two occasions. The first, is Eddie’s birthday. The second is the anniversary of when we first met four years ago. It’s rather convenient having these both on the same day and it makes the day that much more special.

This year, Eddie and I met with Hunka, Kendle et al. for drinks at Boltini. Then we walked over to Jim Gould’s for dinner and live jazz. The dinner was perfect, as always. I had a filet and Eddie had the Chicken Picata. At one point during the meal, Eddie pulls out a box from under the table and slides it over to me. I open it and find a beautiful bezel set diamond necklace! He had been hiding this from me all evening…very sneaky!

I wish we had pictures from our big night out, but in their absence, this collage will have to do. I received several compliments on my dress and clutch, so I figured I would post what I was wearing that night.

Clockwise from top left: Fully Fashioned French Heel Stockings, Onyx Stud Earrings (Tiffany’s), Silk Bouquet Clutch (Santi), Platform Heels (Kate Spade), Navy Blue Devoré Hearts Dress (Marc Jacobs), Rhinestone Hair Pin à la Natalie Wood, Bezel Set Diamond Necklace, Leather Gloves, Raccoon Collar Coat* (DKNY), 1940s Vintage Style Makeup and Hair

*Not exactly what mine looks like, but it’s the same style.

Note: I’m usually not the type of girl who is into heart motifs, but I was really drawn to this dress. The navy is so dark it’s almost black, which helps to tone down the hearts. It’s hard to tell, but the yoke is sheer like the illusion necklines I love. I really like the way it fits and it was feminine without being childish or cutesy.

Bob's Last Art Show

Miss Anthropology — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 16:41:47 +0000

Uncle Bob is having his last art show at the Cozy Dog Drive-In on old Route 66 in Springfield, IL. The event will be held on Sunday November 22nd from 2pm-6pm. Vegan finger food, including Bob’s favorite soy cheese Sheese, will be served. Come as you are, leave different.

JigGsaw @ WEFT Fest

Miss Anthropology — Sat, 12 Sep 2009 05:23:00 +0000

Last Saturday, jigGsaw played a short set for WEFT Fest, the annual fundraiser for WEFT 90.1 FM. The event was originally scheduled to take place outside on the Mike and Molly’s patio. However, the rain made that impossible, and they moved the last few bands next door into the WEFT studio. Even though everyone was looking forward to being on the patio, the studio was still a lot of fun. There was some concern as to how loud things were going to get, but that soon passed. The room where they played was lined from floor to ceiling with CDs, which (surprisingly) helped to deaden the sound.

Given all the changes and disorder that went on before the gig, I’m surprised that things went as well as they did. I think everyone had a good time; still I hope that WEFT Fest gets some better weather next time around.

Packing Light

Eddie is about to play a solo acoustic set. It’s pretty nice not having to lug all the gear.

JigGsaw-It's a Crime

Miss Anthropology — Wed, 07 Nov 2007 21:36:30 +0000

For all those who missed them last month at Cowboy Monkey…

JigGsaw will be performing with many other great artists this weekend as part of the IMC Fest’s musicial line up. The IMC Fest is an annual event that helps benefit the IMC, its associated groups, and WRFU 104.5 (Radio Free Urbana).

Not sure where the IMC is located? Well then take a look at this handy dandy interactive map:
