Ad Age Asserts Awesomeness Assiduously

A little alliteration never hurt, right? Groan. Well apparently pHytonics is Simon Dumenco’s Pop Pick of the week! Dumenco has a column called Media Guy on Ad Age's site, generally considered to be the best catalogue of a thinking man's pleasures on the web. It's running online and in print, so check out one at least; lazybones. And keep your eyes peeled for more info about Dumenco on this very blog because, heh, we’ll be publishing him in Look by Timothy Greenfield-Sanders.

PDN Thinks We'll Make You Famous Too

Our summer workshop series will be in the new issue of PDN! And no wonder: we've got classes by Publisher Daniel Power, Senior Designer Kiki Bauer, Publicity Director and Publisher of Miss Rosen Miss Sara (you guessed it) Rosen, and Managing Editor Nicholas Weist. Peep the details.

Meetings Monday

So many meetings! We're busy finishing the upcoming season, for which we'll have more delicious titles than ever before...but until then you'll just have to snack on this. Or this. Or this. You know, whatever strikes your fancy.

American Photo Gives Mad Props

Our fave photo mage sends us some digital love today, at popphoto. Oh yeah, did we tell you pHytonics had launched for reals? Well it has, and so far it's friggin' exploding.

Bombin' In Brooklyn

Commies, West Coast style mavens Upper Playground, Tolstoy, graf legend Mear One, and Arabic hip hop crew Euphrates all under one roof? In fucking Williamsburg?! Strange but true... and the kind folks at People's Weekly World even give US a shoutout in their article about the whole ordeal. Was anyone NOT there?

Peer Gallery Loves Salt

...so much so that they are hosting an exhibition and book signing for Jimmy and Dena Katz's Salt Dreams. It opens tomorrow, with free signatures and hopefully a little booze from 6 to 9, at 526 W 26th Street.

O'Brien A-Bloggin'

OH MAH GOD OH MAH GOD! Glenn O'Brien has a blog! Glenn is pretty much the founder of cool in NYC: he's been at the top of his game as a tastemaker for more than twenty years now and has made more and more interesting things than almost anybody. We could go on and on and on and on, but it's probably best to let him speak for himself. Glenn O'Brien's Blog.

Drug-Addled Maniac Hates powerHouse, No One Is Surprised

Rush Limbaugh calls out Pees on Earth in a quarter-page article in his newsletter, calling us the "arts-and-croissants crowd," and little Ellen Jong a "lib photographer," as if there were any other kind.

Maybe he could organize a book burning and give us a sales bump too! We're hungry: anyone have a croissant?

Alle Lieben Pedal

Beer halls and bike messengers: we can't think of a better combination. Pedal screens in Berlin on June 21, and we got our hands on the poster getting wheatpasted all over Germany.

Publisher's Publishers

Oooh yeeeeah. Even the industry is throwing some love to our Summer Workshop Series. Our boys at Anthem some it up nicely: we'll make you famous.

Great Moments in Extreme Irony vol 1

Whenever someone wants to comment on one of our posts, we get an email notification with the message and a "yes or no." Few might know this, but spam has grown past email, and has moved into the blogosphere. Spammers attempt to add comments like "Hey I found this cool site about Hoodia" or "C1AL1$$ Soft Tabs Melt Fat Away!!!!" Well today we received notice for this comment. In translation, it reads (excuse our poor French):

"We're often familiar with the domain of health. Nonisant is made without pesticides... Nonisant gives you the strength and vigor of savage fruits... For the cleanest and healthiest consumption, it's effective cold."

It's a comment on the first post about Great Moments in Spam. Metaspam has arrived.
