Does anyone know anything about the Somerville Arts Council's Art Prom? They have a thumbnail of a flyer on their site, but it can't be enlarged, and I can't find any other info either on their site or elsewhere.

I suggest e-mailing Gregory Jenkins <gjenkins@somervillema.gov> and Rachel Strutt <rachel@somervilleartscouncil.org> and letting them know that they need to put up more information in a better format.

The JPG actually can be enlarged -- open http://somervilleartscouncil.org/events/images/artprom10lowres.jpg in a separate window and then repeatedly hit Apple-+ -- but it's pretty low resolution when blown up. It says this:

Gregory Jenkins sent me a PDF of a notice for the event, which I tried to e-mail you at masslibrulgirl@livejournal.com . That e-mail bounced with "User unknown" -- I don't understand why. Here's some of the text from the PDF:

Saturday, June 5, 7-11PM
The Center for Arts at the Armory
191 Highland Ave., Somerville
A mere $10 (to support 2 great arts organzations!)

About the Event:

Forget about the train wrecks of past proms—lousy limo rides, ripped dresses, bad dates, lurking chaperones. This prom is going to be, like, way different and totally awesome. For starters, you don’t have to wait for that dreamy jock or that fox from yearbook committee to invite you. We’re inviting you! Come on out and bust a move as DJ Brother Cleve spins classic prom tunes spanning the genres—disco, new wave, hip hop, rock and power ballads—and including gems like Boogie Wonderland by Earth, Wind and Fire and Ice, Ice Baby by Vanilla Ice. In between sets, Thru the Keyhole Burlesque will perform a few prom-themed numbers. There will also be plenty of art promish acitivities and events like a dress-up photo booth, a slide show of old prom photos and a make-your-own prom crown table (don’t wait for someone to crown you, crown yourself!). So dust off that powder-blue tux. Unearth that old Gunny Sax dress. Or better yet, fashion some new outlandishly creative prom attire! Trophies will be given for “Best Traditional Prom Dress,” “Wackiest Cumberbund” and several other categories. Don’t miss this opportunity to re-write prom history—and help support two great local art organizations while you’re at it!

Thanks for the information! This sounds really cool.

You're welcome (but why did my e-mail to you bounce?)

I don't know...is the LiveJournal inbox equivalent to an email account? I've only sent messages to people by their username, so I don't know if I even have a LiveJournal email address.
