Wrathful Battle Aspect at Gallery 825

Liberal Art ~ Arthur Kegerreis

3/21/10 1:04 am
The LA art world is amusingly provincial sometimes. People downtown think the west side is snobby, people on the west side think downtown can’t be taken seriously, and regardless, the public shows up in droves for art walks everywhere to see what [...]

What do you like best about Spring?

Question of the Day ~ Heidi Huber

3/20/10 6:00 am
Spring begins today.  For we Los Angelenos, it certainly looks like that, however those of you in the Midwest & Northeast may be opposing this idea.  I love that everything gets green, our Jacaranda tree blooms and flowers become even more prev [...]

It's a Part of the Process

Bare Witness ~ Brian Leighton

3/20/10 4:35 am
I’m always intrigued by the process of other artists. As creatives, we generally only have the opportunity to put out a final product as representation of what’s going on inside of us. Here’s a glimpse into Craig Tracy’s journ [...]

And The Beat Goes On ~ Mark Nishimura

3/18/10 8:47 pm
You can throw a guitar off a cliff, and as it bounces off rocks on the way down, it will, all by itself, play “Gloria.” – Dave Barry I was blasting Patti Smith’s Horses in the car. The first track: “Gloria.” This was the very first ve [...]

City by the Day ~ Denise Day

3/17/10 1:46 pm
For those of you who work in the corporate environment, have you ever been in a meeting while someone was talking and thought to yourself, “I have NO clue what that means.” Well, my friend, you are likely a victim of what I like to call [...]

The New Age Of Greed

Apples To Oranges: Art in NY and Beyond ~ Jon Coffelt

3/17/10 10:20 am
Why cant people just do the right thing? What is so complicated about following up on what one has agreed to? It seems that people just talk to get what they want and to hear themselves talking. They say and do things that have little or nothing to d [...]

WTF!?

The Human Parade ~ Lisa Schultz

3/16/10 3:49 pm
Okay people, so every once in awhile, I have to veer away from writing about paradigms shifts and stunning realizations to just remarking on the occasionally incredible occurrences in my life that make me wonder, WTF?!  Today is one of those days. N [...]

Cowboy Cab

In Vitis Veritas: Wine, Wisdom & Awakening ~ Allison Arbuthnot

3/15/10 9:50 am
I love me an Alexander Valley Cab.  They vary, of course, but in general, AV Cabernets are swollen with flavor, loosely structured and bursting at the seams.  Like Alexander Valley itself, AV Cabs represent what Sonoma County is at its essence: viv [...]

Sizzle Tits

Hip Hop Hippie ~ Buffy Charlet

3/14/10 5:42 pm
Here in L.A., I’ve gone through jobs quicker than most urbanites go through sexual partners. This is no exception. One day, while signing a contract at my agency, my agent spotted my hands and started sending me out for hand-modeling auditions. [...]

Dia Gnosis : There is a cure

Earthnic Music ~ Corey Mason

3/14/10 9:45 am
Economic-Social-Psychic-Cancer .. Curing cancer is at some level, a change in molecular/atomic vibration. A change in electromagnetic, light, sound vibration. Lets all tune in to the same frequency so we don’t get confused … Mad Professor. [...]

The Real 3-D

Impetuous Meanderings ~ Michael Newcomer

3/11/10 5:27 pm
There are approximately 7 billion people in the world.   Of those 7 billion, it would seem that approximately ALL OF THEM have seen Avatar.  Approximately.  I am not one of them.  I meant to go, had a small desire to go, but one thing after anot [...]

The PRsenal: Get the Word Out! ~ Tracy Larrua

3/6/10 12:12 am
First, let me start out that I held back for awhile from even penning this.  But it happens too often in the realm of communications so I thought I’d bring the subject up.  What am I yakking about?  What can easily get my marketing blood boi [...]

A Call In The Night

Foul-ball Home Run ~ Anthony Godoy

2/28/10 1:28 pm
A ringing telephone in the dead of night terrified me as a child. It wasn’t the disruption of the calm, as the sound itself wasn’t alarming. It wasn’t the disrespect of a late night caller, either. What does a small child know about etiquette? [...]

Do Zombies have Constitutional Rights?

The Legal Road Less Traveled ~ Robert Lombardo

2/26/10 6:46 am
At about 6 p.m. on Saturday, July 22, 2006, a group of seven people (one a minor) met at a light rail station in downtown Minneapolis, while the city was in the midst of hosting a week-long summer festival known as the Aquatennial.  Their plan was t [...]

There is a channel for this you know.

Babble On... ~ Alan Pierce

2/24/10 11:11 pm
“Historians, it is said, fall into one of three categories: Those who lie. Those who are mistaken. Those who do not know.” Anonymous History is such an interesting thing. Though it’s not really the case, it appears that you have to ha [...]

BIG FOOT

Whaling, Women, And Wrestling ~ Jim Kalin

2/24/10 10:09 pm
I wear a size 11 shoe, although it gets boosted to size 12 when I buy cowboy boots. I’ve had those size 11’s pressed against my tongue too many times, and it’s been a perfect fit. I’ve experienced two instances of foot-in-mouth that were show [...]
