Bad Month for NYC Cyclists - Memorial Ride

June 29th, 2006 -- posted in Tick Tick Boom, Get Involved

I have forgotten how many times I’ve been on my bike and drivers were making a turn in one direction while looking the other, or how many times I’ve almost been doored by people not looking before they open them. Not to mention the street construction “detours” that are nightmares to navigate.
This month alone, […]

Will David Blaine take the Challenge?

June 26th, 2006 -- posted in ???, Tick Tick Boom

If I was his publicist, I would be praying that he would.
Curtis Eugene Lovell II (fancy boy!) has smacked David Blaine in the face with an invisible glove and is challenging him to a face-off.
I will admit that I have love for David. While everyone went on about how silly his last stunt […]

Yahoo News had an interesting article on Saudi Women Bloggers. It reminds me not to take the ability to have my little piece of the web for granted.

The Road to Guantanamo - labeled ” Hard to Watch”

June 19th, 2006 -- posted in Newness, Tick Tick Boom, Visuals

What impeccable timing that this movie should be released just when the world is reeling from the recent suicides. I’m really up in the air about whether or not to see it as I am sensitive about the idea of people in authority who need policing themselves, yet I feel obligated to better understand […]

The New York City Gay & Lesbian Anti-Violence Project, aka AVP, has organized a march and rally in light of 3 anti-gay attacks in NYC. I posted about one earlier this week and I am just learning of the other 2 now.

South Central Farmers

June 13th, 2006 -- posted in Tick Tick Boom, Get Involved

Over 50 arrests have been made, a few demonstrators have suffered blows from batons and the bulldozers were sent in to demolish the blooming crops, indigenous plants and 14 years of love that have been put into the farm. We are continuing to stand strong with tears in our eyes. It is not […]

Kevin Aviance - It’s not right, but it’s OK…

June 12th, 2006 -- posted in Tick Tick Boom

Our plane came in this morning. I am jet-lagged and drowning in email. I thought to get back to blogging tomorrow BUT I just had to post about this.
I first met Kevin many moons ago in Miami. He was and has always remained an absolute sweetheart. But regardless of that, even if it […]

No MIA in the USA

May 31st, 2006 -- posted in Join the Circus, Tick Tick Boom

I am sure you all know UK artist MIA, as I am sure that you were shaking your money-maker to her incredibly infectious songs that were the 2005 summer hits off of her debut album Arular. If you don’t know what I am talking about… just get it.
Well, it seems the folks […]

China Realizes it can’t stop Political Art

April 26th, 2006 -- posted in Tick Tick Boom, Visuals

Great article at The Guardian regarding Chinese authorities interacting with artists who’s work has a political focus.
An increasingly confident generation of artists is pushing at the limits of acceptability, as foreign galleries open branches in Beijing to cash in on the boom in Chinese contemporary art. The authorities, meanwhile, are struggling with a new […]

Thoughts on the Duke Lacrosse Team Rape Allegations

March 30th, 2006 -- posted in Tick Tick Boom

I learned about the Duke University Lacrosse Team Rape Allegations 2 nights ago and I have been thinking about it ever since.
I am the first to admit that my attention span is not the best. My life is full of flashing lights and curveballs, but once in a while something will crawl up into […]
