while on a trek to buy textbooks, no less

hey, i saw debris from the tornado on lake street. it smashed a tree and parts of the tree were scattered over blocks. too bad about the electric fetus; i just went there yesterday and it was great. i presume they have insurance and will be OK. hopefully they can still operate soon and won't lose too many days of business.

Ha, it's really bizarre to be working at a media outlet and have a tornado touchdown about three blocks away and no one knows until after the fact.

Whoa um the urinals and killdozer tonight @ the turf club

did u go

no one else would go bah. should have called you dude srry.

i was in chicago!

i am posting from a bus!

oh well see there you go

guys what is happening, i need stimulation

also also:

do you guys know anyone with SPACE? like, say, for a show/party type thing? a friend of mine and i are organizing cr4nksgiving, an alleycat/food drive, and it'd be awesome to have a spot for an afterparty. failing that, we could do drink specials at the n0mad or something, but a big room with kegs and a DJ would be nice, too

in a perfect world, we'd trick awesome local bands into playing, but what are the odds of THAT

hmmm will investigate.

also yes we should prob kick it in the near future yo

brotally

weekend of 17 Oct probably, since that's when i'm done with first round of finals

:-/

Playoffs!

Is there anything str8 bitchin' going on around the end of Nov/early December or am I asking too much too early? I wanna re-enter the States with a bang.

ok im just going to c/p this announcement but dudes srsly:

OX-OP ARTS PRESENTS:

Non Consensual Post Dada Constructivist Cerebral Warts
Art/Music/Film Festival 2009

OCTOBER 22nd- 25th • SOO Visual Arts Center

On October 22nd through 25th, SOOVAC Gallery will host a conceptual tour de force seldom seen outside the two coasts.

The large main Gallery will feature a major retrospective of two hometown Minneapolis heroes of the international flatstock design and printing world: Burlesque of North America and Aesthetic Apparatus.

The side gallery will present a bizarre opening of local artist and alternative music mogul, HAZE XXL. A multi-media onslaught, the exhibition consists of 100 individually hand-made art CD sleeves, each containing original art and individual Polaroids, along with HAZE XXL created objects d’art featured in numerous national shows including the Andy Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh. The show marks the first and only release of the Halo Of Flies/Gay Witch Abortion collaboration album. Just 100 CD's produced, and that’s it forevermore but not surprising coming from the former head of Amphetamine Reptile Records who initiated his label by originating the whole “limited edition thing in music” back in the 1980's.

Each night of the four-day event, performance art takes on a literal meaning with live music sequestered in yet another gallery within the gallery. The musicians will be performing behind large screened windows facing the main gallery, harshly backlit so that the audience sees only silhouetted shadows and movement. Four security cameras inside the room will broadcast those performances live onto screens in the main gallery, playing with perceptions of time and space and lessening even further our distinctions between reality and the alternate broadcast reality which is far to often blurred.

The Opening Event will also offer an additional layer of altered perception, featuring the short films of renowned artist Chris Mars. Primarily known for his deeply surreal oil and pastel images, he has taken to animation
and film with all the intensity and incredible detail of his oil paintings.
