RABBIT, RABBIT


June 1st was was a warm and clear spring evening in Bar Harbor; a perfect night for a double feature of fresh art, delicious food, and rock and roll! The first installment of our evening began at Eden Vegetarian Cafe where artist Tyler Weeks showcased a collection of his recent pieces. Later on, as the sun set over our fair island, we followed the Rabbit, Rabbit down to The Lompoc Cafe for an evening of dancing and revelry with the Coke Weed rockers.
