It is the time of the month to start perking up your ears for next month’s First Thursday events. The first thing to land in my inbox was the Forum Lounge event that happens monthly at the Contemporary Arts Forum. This month’s event features the second dose of animated music videos brought to you by Ted Mills. I have to admit that I did not see the first installment, but I did hear rave reviews and am making this my top priority for January’s First Thursday. I was also very happy to see that there will be two performances, one at 7pm and the other at 8pm. Making it easier to catch the event without sacrificing so much of the short First Thursday evening to one location.

I’ve posted the details below and hope to see a huge crowd at CAF next Thursday.

THUR. JAN. 7, 7 PM & 8:15 PM
