Jell-O Art Saturday, April 4th, 5-8pm

As you may have suspected, Slugs, even SLUG Queens, do hibernate in the winter. This winter we needed extra rest for all the fun we have planned for the rest of the year. Starting the weekend of April 3rd you will start to spot SLUG Queens coming out of their shells. First Marie Slugtoinette will be hosting the First Friday Art Walk for Lane Arts Council. Being an "Art Duchess" she can't wait to spend some slime with the artists and public that evening. Then, Saturday, April 4th, catch many old Queens along with Slugtoinette at one of Eugene's most unique anual events--The Jell-O Art Show at Maude Kerns Gallery (1910 E.15th)
See the famous Radar Angels perform and be amazed by the wiggly stuff transformed into fine art---better yet--enter a piece yourself!
Later that evening be sure to swing by Diablo's Bar for a night of comedy hosted by the funny and talented Queen Glo, Leigh Anne Jashaway. See you there.

Every SLUG just DANCE now!

Okay Slugaphiles, shake your tails, here's a little slug love I just found on You Tube!
Animated Slugs getting their groove on to a club beat...Every Slug just dance NOW!

Sluggish on your Valentine's Day plans?

Well, everyone knows slugs are hermaphrodites, so we take care of ourselves on Valentine's Day with a delightful box of Chocolates from Kekau Chocolatiers or a stop by their fabulous Nib Desert and Wine Bar, Flowers from the outrageously creative Passion Flower , and perhaps taking in a show. Might I suggest the slugilicious Gaye Lee Russell's Valentine's Day evening at The Secret House Vineyards. Enjoy a fine evening of top-notch jazz and blues, exquisite cuisine and of course Patty's fine wines. For a sample of Lady Slugdiva's (aka Gaye Lee Russell) soulful tunes check out her Myspace website.
Who knows where this romantic evening with yourself might lead...

So proud to be an American SLUG

Who knew? Who knew the SLUG Queen would fall head over tail for one with so little time for slime...and yet Marie Slugtoinette must tell you, dear public, that she has been enchanted by the entire first family and the charm that they OOOOOZE! How excited will we be when their trail next winds it's way by our snug green valley? My slimy guts quiver at the thought! Until then we still each have the power to make a change. We finally each have a voice in our nation and our home community. To stay tuned to the national discussion and lend your voice check out the new www.whitehouse.gov website with it's cool yet classic graphics and daily blog entries and updates. You can get stuff off your chest and feel it's actually being heard. Weird.
But if it's an impact you want to make right here in Eugene you can start here by adding your voice to this blog. Have questions? Want answers? Have answers? Let the SLUG Queens help you out. Dear SLUG Queen...
I'll be so happy to hear from you.

Happy New Year! The SLUG Queen arrives on Facebook

It's finally here--2009--the year of change and tracing trails of slime.
I for one and thrilled to cast off the last year (or eight) and start fresh.
In keeping with starting something forward thinking --the SLUG Queen has made herself more available to you, her public, via the file sharing service Facebook. Now you can send a note, share photos or video, get involved, keep your distance, check event dates or just become a fan of the SLUG Queen with no obligation. If you are a member of Facebook already be sure to search "The SLUG Queen" fan page (and add yourself to declare your fondness), AND "The SLUG Queen" Group to join for interactive fun. Right now I am running a New Year's slug Haiku contest on the Facebook groups site. Enter your Haiku there and you may have your results published here on the society pages blog.
I look forward to your entries! Good Luck and Happy New Year.

Call to artists: The SLUG Queen Salon 2009!

2009 is just around he corner and that means creative royal gastropod watchers are on notice! You are hereby challenged by your Queen to pull out the stops and let your imagination guide you to create an image of the SLUG Queen to amaze and confound the world. Now that the Slug Queen has international press, a Wall Street Journal front page story and a website with thousands of viewers--we SLUG Queens feel it is more important than ever to be immortalized in fine (not necessarily refined) art. Last year's entries set the bar high as you can see at www.slugqueeneugene.com art gallery


Last year put the SLUG Queen Art Salon Competition on the map--this year we want to cement Eugene's art community's reputation as progressive, inventive and fearless. Art may be 2D or 3D, abstract, literal or figurative. We are interested in fabric art (quilts, wearable art, etc...), recycled works, photography, video pieces, and even performance art as well as traditional sculpture, drawings and paintings. There are "no rules" (as is the way of the SLUG Queen) except of course that the work must in some way be slug Queen related to be accepted in the show. Please contact us early if you are planning a performance or are planning to create an oversized work. Please see THE RULES
for more information. Dates will be posted in January--most likely August 2009--so stay tuned.
Now get that creative slime juice flowing!
