In this program, one of Nashville's own local DJs, Nerfski, will first be giving a lecture on the fascinating world of vinyl collectors known as "diggers": how they get samples from records that they've sought out and how they use these discs to construct entertaining, groove-filled programs in various live settings. Then, audience members will be able to sit down behind the turntables and get a hands-on learning experience on how they can do this themselves (by spinning old-school vinyl records!).

This one-of-a-kind event will be fun for everyone, and will be a great chance to save big on vinyl for one day only- so make sure not to miss it!

20% off All Vinyl Sale and a "Learn How To Be A DJ" workshop this SAT, 10/26 at the Great Escape's West Nashville Charlotte Avenue Superstore location only.

NERFSKI is a local Nashville-area DJ, who lives and breathes the diggers lifestyle, starting each day by hitting the record shops in search of vinyl from which to take samples and concepts for his local appearances, including regular performances at Centennial Park. For Nerfski, the search for records and performing as a DJ is more than just a hobby: it's a spiritual quest, and is much akin to the lifestyles shared by fine artists such as painters, poets, etc.

TWO GREAT EVENTS coming to The Great Escape Charlotte Avenue

Mark your calendars, folks-

We've got two must-see events happening in the near future:

THURS, 10/17
Neal Adams (signing appearance)
12 p.m. - 2 p.m.

That's right- renowned comic book artist Neal Adams will be appearing at The Great Escape Charlotte Avenue (in West Nashville) on Thursday, October 17th for an autograph signing session that lasts from 12 p.m. - 2 p.m.

FIRST AUTOGRAPH IS FREE! (Additional autographs will be $10 each- which is still lower than the going convention rate!) Portfolios, Art Prints, Books and Sketches will be available for purchase! Neal will also be taking on commissions, so if you'd like to get a special piece of artwork done in advance for Neil to sign, now is the time to do it! (For more details and prices on commissions, contact Neal's assistant, Jason at 212-869-4170- or email him at spyda@spydacreations.com

_________________________________________________

SAT, 10/26
"Learn To Be A Live DJ" program and workshop.
2 p.m.-4 p.m.

Have you ever wanted to learn how to spin discs in a live setting- using old-school methods with two turntables and a bunch of vinyl records? On Saturday, October 26th, one of Nashville's own local DJs, Nerfski, will be giving a lecture and workshop at The Great Escape Charlotte Avenue on the fascinating world of vinyl collectors known as "diggers", how they get samples from records that they've sought out, and how they use these discs to construct entertaining, groove-filled programs in various live settings.

This will be a hands-on, interactive workshop, so space may be limited- so if you'd like to attend, PLEASE RSVP BY SIGNING UP AT ANY LOCATION OF THE GREAT ESCAPE.

_________________________________________________

ABOUT THE GUESTS:

NEAL ADAMS is a towering figure in the world of comic book creation and art. Neal has had legendary "runs" on Batman, X-Men, Green Lantern-Green Arrow and Deadman. Adams rescued Batman from the campy nostalgia of the television show, and re-fitted him in his present incarnation as an "Avenger of the Night." When people say "modern Batman", they mean Neal Adams' Batman. His run on Batman led directly to the new, more realistic incarnation in "Batman Returns" movie, which featured the character he created, Ras Al Ghul. Neal just did an 8-page story in Batman Black & White #1. Don't miss out on picking one up at the store and having Neal sign it.

NERFSKI is a local, Nashville-area DJ, who lives and breathes the "diggers" lifestyle, starting each day by hitting the record shops in search of vinyl from which to take samples and concepts for his local appearances, including regular performances at Centennial Park. For Nerfski, the search for records and performing as a DJ is more than just a hobby: it's a spiritual quest, and is much akin to the lifestyles shared by fine artists such as painters, poets, etc.
