speaking of...

Did you guys know that the artist who did this work (a self portrait) has a big show opening up at The Crocker on Friday night? He now does large, nay huge scale photorealistic oil paintings of creepy young girls. But there's so much more to him than that, and you can read about it in the Feb issue of MidMo. I can't wait to read the interview, he sounds like an interesting guy. This issue is gonna be uh-mazing, starting with the cover.

Speaking of art, here's my article about Alek Bohnak, including a cool picture of him in his studio. This guy is one to watch.

Speaking of the Crocker, tonight is the screening of Hausu there. Stars at 7, hosted by Mr. Lobo and Movies on a Big Screen. Ten bucks, twelve if you want admission to the museum. Go see the Marsden Hartley painting. And some funky, funky, funk art.

oh Davis, I love/hate you. There's a flyer for this in the lobby at my work:

Native Californian Elderberry
Flute-Making Workshop
1–3 p.m., 146 Environmental Horticulture
In this free two-hour workshop you will learn how to make a Native Californian elderberry flute from East Bay Regional Parks docent Antonio Flores. Antonio will talk about the culture of flute-making and the endangered elderberry beetle, and teach us how to play our flutes. All materials will be supplied. Please bring a sharpened pocket knife. All ages are invited. Adults will need to supervise their young children.

Blackout is such a classic album. Too bad the Scorps aren't from the midwest. That region has a lot of German descendants however. Sounds good enough to me.
