Alexander Austin, Millage Gilbert, Jeff Helkenberg in my car



ALEXANDER AUSTIN

After I have done this SVO on Alexander Austin, he has attracted some other press on his show at the Y in KCK.

MILLAGE GILBERT
I caught Millage Gilberts performance at the Mutual Musicians Foundation on Tuesday 16 February 2010

HERE! IN MY CAR!!! WITH JEFF HELKENBERG AS OUR PASSENGER
Jeff and I had a good time driving around the city. He is an outspoken artist and co-curator of the Keyhole gallery with his partner, Jessica Logsdon. He is not afraid to speak his mind and does so speaking about the local arts scene and politics.
