Dark Fantasy Faire 4/29 at Avalon

April 27th, 2006 -- posted in Where the Heathens Go

“A celebration of Beltane, laced with medieval traditions, within the heart of Gotham.”
Mention Beltane and I immediately think of The Mists of Avalon by Marion Zimmer Bradley. Who can deny a bit of Pagan lore? Better yet, why bother to deny it when you can enjoy it? At a church converted into a nightclub […]

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.

April 26th, 2006 -- posted in Word on the Street, Where the Heathens Go

In march I gave you the scope on Scenic and I have more of the scopage for you.
This evening on my way home, I thought to grab a quick bite at my local Chinese food joint and I just so happen to run into an old friend who just so happens to be a […]

Kembra at Happy Valley 4/25

April 24th, 2006 -- posted in Where the Heathens Go

Perhaps some of you read the New York Magazine article on Happy Valley about a month ago and swore it was the kiss of death. Come on… we all know that when something good gets written up in mainstream media, it is ruined. It becomes stale like that bag of chips you almost completely […]

This past weekend I went through my summer rags. Some are keepers and others are disposable purchases made to pass on to the their next life as donations. And then there is my t-shirt collection. Not just great to throw on and dash out the house with minimal fuss when you wake up late due […]

Who is Jackie Beat?

April 13th, 2006 -- posted in Newness

Don’t be fooled by this picture. Really. Jackie Beat is a big ol’ loveable sweetheart who never leaves her home in a small town in Iowa. Ok… maybe not. Maybe she is a cynical and kooky lead singer for a group named Dirty Sanchez in the city of Angels. Maybe is one of my favorite […]
