golden pigs

im hurting and its past 5. i should be thinking about the yummy meal im going to cook tonight: cream cheese fried wontons mmm.
anyways its been tibetan new year aka havent blogged aka the new year last at least 3 weeks and i've been back and forth from the city and the east bay aka ive been tired and lazy.
But the new year has officially begun so TASHI DELEK ("happy new year")
Things to note: good luck to impregnate chinese kids and bad luck for tibetans to marry this year.
::in other news::
before my wasted ass went over to minna last night XLR8R had an opening/announcement/media collab party with Revision3 at this crazy spot downtown called Slide.

Ok so XLR8R's gonna start adding a video portion of each issue with artist interviews, music video, word on the street shit straight off their website. seems approrprate in this new webtv day and age, so its seems pretty exciting. They've teamed up with this new to me company called Revision3. Basically a new web "network". Its a great concept cause its basically going to be the next stages of InternetTV.
Layman's Term: Revision3 is your host network aka NBC/MTV or whatever
And on the network you have different shows...XLR8R TV being one of them. Anyways if you want to check out the pilot episode its here: http://www.revision3.com/xlr8rtv/pilot

Ok so then it was at this crazy posh space called Slide. I ain't never heard of it cause its next to Ruby Skye, need I say more. I mean the place has got HDMonitors around the bar where they looped the XLR8R TV intro...Bryant was spinning off a Baby Grand Piano. Uh YES. They scaled and revamped their piano so that instead of keys its a pair of ttables, not to mention a fancy rack slash "placeholder" for yo laptop! uggh. And you enter through a mother fuckin slide!



Oh yeah its that serious. Homegirl at the top has to walkie talkie her shit to get a "slide check" before people go down. Haahahaaa. And the best part about it: NO POSH YUPPERS. well obviously because it was a private party, but amongst this posh swankyness i was surrounded by music, tech and internet geeks. awh.
And then i read about this off their website:
Back in the Prohibition Era of San Francisco, 430 Mason Street was a space called The Cable Car Theater. Below The Cable Car Theatre was a restaurant called Cafe Dans. In actuality, Cafe Dans was not a restaurant, but a speakeasy that could be accessed only by a savvy few that would push a secret wall that would lead you to a playground slide. This slide would take you below street level where one could indulge in illicit gambling and the drinking of bootleg whiskey and spirits. In an era of secret codes and handshakes, the speakeasy was a hidden subculture of nightlife. HARRA COO, RIGHT?

OK SO GO TO MADRONE TOMMOROW NIGHT IT'LL BE LIKE A HOODIES AND HEELS REUNION: JULIA & KAMAL!!!! scroll down for last months pictures

weekend guide

here comes the weekend and your fellow weekend warrior's favorite question: whats cracking this weekend?

::FRIDAY::
Massan & Goto are having a Photo Show over at Space Gallery (next door to the hemlock) tonight starting @ 7PM


Shane is on the game this year with the Mission Creek Music Festival
Some glorious bands locally and across the country will be blessing the city this May so they're having a fundraiser tonight over @ 12 Galaxies (Mission inbetween 21st/22nd)

*Mission Creek Music Festival Fundraiser and Dance*

Hey Willpower!
Captain Ahab
Lemonade
DJ Kid 606

Then head over to Amensia or Rickshaw (whatevers closer folks its gonna rainnnn)





After Hours:
Disco D Tribute over @ Mighty





::SATURDAY::
Really looking forward to heading out to this installation at the semi-new (to me) GrayArea Gallery FAST-FORWARD/REWIND
plus Official Tourist & The Mall will be providing the jams and visuals!
digital media....*drooool*

Fast Forward / Rewind is a group installation exhibition featuring a medley of mediums from sewn paper to live radio transmission, psychedelic painted landscapes and multi channel video. The show draws conceptually upon the themes of time and technology, from obsolete prophecies of the future to a fluid fictional archeology. Based on a show that was exhibited in New York in the Fall of 2006, seven artists from east and west coasts play with spatial and temporal planes for the GrayArea Gallery.

Then there's another group show over at White Walls with ADAM-5100
* My Favorite Color * (aka all about money)
also featuring:Kim Cogan, Eric Bailey, Damon Soule, Akira, Regino Gonzalez, Bigfoot, Tim McKormick, Sub, Albert Reyes, Ian Johnson, Coro, and Ben Frost

And Jason and Crew are performing at Rickshaw!!!

Let the madness begin.

wish i was...

here. what a beautiful take on a vision of paradise.



I have no idea why it took me so long to post this. oh wait maybe its because i'm not too "artsy in-tune" but i think i want a full poster version in my office. Came across this on the Love Forever blog. The Falling Garden was created by Swiss artists Gerda Steiner and Joerg Lenzlinger(sorry site isnt in english). If only a place like this existed for my everyday convenience instead of in my head. The Falling Garden was, however, featured in the 2003 Venice Biennial elevating them to international celebrities. more about it here

Copy points that make it the article worthwhile:
- The ho drove hundreds of miles to confront her "rival" wearing diapers on the journey so that she would not have to stop to use the restroom
