For over two years now, the fascinating mystery that is Just Ending Now/Jeremy Jermaine Jerome has been a frequent presence in our inbox. Cryptic messages, old photos, and a successful duel with the infamous 27 Club have all kept the visual artist/rapper on our radar. Quite frankly, he has made the city just a bit more interesting since he returned home. I was pleasantly surprised to see him hanging out of the Artvoice float/car on Mardi Gras this year, locking eyes with him as he yelled "I told you I would be back!"
With his Weapon: Canonization project behind him, JJJ has set his focus on his next project, titled "Close to Extinct." Billed as "the turning point for humanity," the bill will feature JJJ, local beat boxer, orator, and interviewer extraordinaire SCANTRON, Charlotte rapper Scyheed, and the mysterious Timmy, as well as art installations and live drawing from artists Max Collins and Mickey Harmon.
"Close to Extinct" is set to go down at the DNIPRO Ukrainian Center on Saturday, July 20th, beginning at 8pm. What will actually happen? Jeremy is not a fan of social media, meaning no facebook event page, meaning your guess is as good as mine. That's the fun thing about a Just Ending Now event though. If you are as uncomfortably intrigued with JJJ as I am, maybe it's worth taking a look for yourself. Tickets are currently available for $10 at Ashkers Juice Bar because, well, why not.

JJJ - want an incredible artist. I wish I were in NY so I could make this event!
Wow. JJJ is just...terrible
"Wow. JJJ is just...terrible"??? JJJ has rocked Buffalo with shows and videos for the past years, while you nay-say out of jealousy and do nothing. JJJ is the future, and you are the never. Props to all the artists on this bill.
