people you never realized had been dead for years

Bob Ross Lives On This Thursday

If, like us, you spent many a sick day during your youth watching Bob Ross — because (a) his poofy Afro and soothing narration were the only things that kept you from vomiting, and (b) the TV your parents let you temporarily keep in your room didn’t get cable — then you’ll be happy as a little tree at the tribute party being held at Gallery Bar this Thursday. In addition to a look-alike contest, painting lessons, and a raffle supporting teens in shelters, there will also be a performance by a Bob Ross tribute dance troupe, something we’ve only ever imagined in our wildest, fever-induced dreams.
