The Fat Lady Will Not Sing Tonight

We just got a mysterious email from our boy A-ron the Downtown Don.... Seems aNYthing is going through some of what we experienced awhile back. We're a little sketchy on the details, but that doesn't mean bootstrapping cultural entities shouldn't stick together. Plus he said there's a sale. Out with the credit cards! To the store!

A Shower of Gold

Edith Hamilton would be proud: like Orpheus and Euridice, Phaedra and Hippolytus (ewww), or Achilles and Patroclus, so powerHouse and Perseus.

Those yetis are pretty annoying, huh?

Oil soul mio...

The road to happiness lies in two simple principles: find what it is that interests you and that you can do well, and when you find it, put your whole soul into it -- every bit of energy and ambition and natural ability you have.

Chinatown Soccer Club

Petey Sutherland's newest venture is The Chinatown Soccer Club.... It's like sports for the Todd P set or something. And there's T-shirts! Thats's as much as we know. Extra points if you can catch the hot-to-trot Sutherland running by the lens! The Chinatown Soccer Club.

sometimes you get points for longevity

Which is better than a stick in the eye. Look at my doppelganger doing the Funky Chicken, everybody pointin', even cap man can't believe it (and poor l'il mohawk, the crowd pleaser, didn't get this kinda notice): everybody had a ball at the LC Outdoors event for We B* Girlz, even though the damn book and even Martha Cooper were nowhere to be seen. Still, it was fun. Especially when these two girlz really started to "fight" with dancing. Like Capoeira, only with beats instead of annoying high-pitched string plucking. But the State of New York preventing us from getting the fiercely devoted crowd to know about what they were cheering about in the form of a literary educational tool such as a book shows how boneheaded and small minded and closed entities like this are. This will be the very last time we do anyting like this. If the message is not total, it is not one, or is being coopted by somneone else. Which is why we have been around 11 years.

More props to and from Peter Sutherland. And on a sadder note, RIP Darren Lewis. Right-side pass beating truck does not Capoeira make. Longevity. Long live the Funky Chicken. Not pretty, but still here.

Miss Rosen has it happening

The new mag post does nicely crystalize what we think we might hope to be onto...world hegemony! Not that another reason is needed to expand the psychic head space over in the far corner of the office, but the rapid firing of one-finger typing in the form of a constant tick-tick-tick-tick, tick-tick-ticking white noise background has a sort of comforting soothing effect, knowing that all is right in the world....

Hey, the Post says Bklyn is "hip"

Because some breeders couldn't hack Samuri Power Vibe style in LA. Not that we could either, but the SM farmer's market on Staurdays makes Union Square look like...an exercise in liberal eeanestness, as oopposed to....um, skeezer outlaws? With killer citrus specimans?....Hey, you can put the top down....hey, look: the homeless that used to be in NYC! How's it going? Um, sort of played out on change....Where was I...oh yea, Brooklyn. What up! Yo Windsor Terrace!...(anybody out there...) Watch for the Brooklynites next year! Present a compelling case why you should be, and you might! Esp. if you can wrangle some tangelos....

nice beautiful poster that does not look like anyone we know
