Last night Chris and I went to the first Rad.Art (a group of local art farts loosely connected with U of M, less loosely connected with the 555 space) event of the season, a Rooftop Films screening and readings from Found Magazine and Clamor. It was supposed to be a positive and informative pep rally sort of experience, but it was frustrating and ( Read more... )

Fuck me, I love Memepool.

Especially when it introduces me to things like this:
"The idea is simple: to collect photos of people posing dead in various places from around the world."

Ok, who's got a camera? Let's get this freakshow on the road!

And, seriously, who wants to contribute to a zine of children's book covers?

Just send in your ( Read more... )

Primarily of interest to you club kids (urbanwulf, android5, rsteigel I'm looking at you), but I thought this would strike a cord with enough of you that it's worth posting. A friend of mine sent me a long e-mail railing against two recently proposed bills that are likely to affect our lives, indirectly or otherwise ( Read more... )

It's too cold to sleep in the tree tonight.

Fucking Equinox!

Fucking...
seasons!!!

Of the 211 baby trees we planted this spring on Chris's land up north, about 40 survived. I am not queen of the forest.

Unless the forest is the 200' x 30' strip of Argo Park behind our apt. complex, where my whim is still law. Should I have bled and ( Read more... )

So, I've been on a kitschy kiddie book mini-kick for, like, months now... and... I would like you all to check out the list of book titles on the back of Davy Deer's New Red Scarf:

It's mostly a local thing, but if you area art-farts haven't heard already, Carlos just put out an open call for submissions for the next Atmosphere on Sept. 17. I'll have stuff in it and some of Ghostly's best will be playing; you'll be in good company.
From the press release:

ATMOSPHERE is an event intended to cultivate a productive interface ( Read more... )

Back! Back! Back!!So, I went to Burning Man, again. I saw a bus that had been converted into a pirate ship, commandeered by members of Crash Worship. I saw a giant lion fish lit up in elwire that shot fire from its spines. I waved at passers-by from the blow hole of a three-story, green-eyed glowing white whale as it drifted through the desert ( Read more... )

Ok ok ok - I should probably wait until Chassy gets the pictures up, but I saw a really amazing thing last night. He called here around 9:30 last night to say I needed to get over there, because he found a *cicada ready to molt.* Though I caught a couple in progress (also at his house) last year, I've only seen one do that from start to finish ( Read more... )
