WHAT TO SEE: PJ SYKES AT STEADY SOUNDS!
I’ve said this before, PJ Sykes is one of my favorite photographers and one of the best in RVA. Check out his new show currently showing at Steady Sounds. His show runs for the entire month of September. It features a collection of black and white photos of bands that PJ shot while on location up and down the east coast. In honor of this post…I edited this photo of PJ so I could say that I PJ Sykes’d a photo of PJ (lol). WE SEE IT! Check out the show! Hit me on Facebook!
NICE TO MEET YOU: SARA GOSSETT
My path first intersected with the lovely Sara Gossett the weekend of the Shadrock Music Festival. After battling horrible weather and ultimately shooting De La Soul at Brown’s Island, a group of us danced the night away at Balliceaux. Sara, aka Sister Goldenhaze, was spinning old school dance tunes with her friend DJ Mixie. I was blown away. So blown away that the following week I reached out to Sara and DJ Mixie to get them both on the blog.
I was delighted to learn that Sara also paints and draws. I stopped by her first solo show last night at Steady Sounds to officially introduce myself and check out her show.
Sara was great to meet in person. I look forward to showcasing more of her talent on The Cheats Movement. If you can, swing by Steady Sounds to check out her showing and also click here to buy her work online.

PHOTOS: MIDNIGHT SUGGESTIONS #7 W/JAMES ADOMIAN [STEADY SOUNDS, RVA]
Wednesday night I stopped by Steady Sounds to check out Midnight Suggestions. The featured comic was the hilarious James Adomian. He was amazing! He gave a set worthy of a big time comedy club. Also performing were – friends of the Cheats Movement – the very funny ManlyMan! It’s always a great time to see them perform, and James Paulk. If you have never been to a Midnight Suggestions, it’s truly a can’t miss show. Johnny Hugel and the team does a great job and it’s a very fun time.
