GLANCE - Zsofia Otvos solo exhibit at Tojo Gallery

Chris & I are going to Zsofia's opening this Saturday.  When I got off the phone with her today she had just finished the final painting to exhibit.  She's done nothing in the last two months but create new work for this one and for her hometown show in Budapest in April.

Pass this along to the dipshits in the hummers with the big yellow ribbon taped on the bumper

Daily Kos put a list up today of 10 organizations you can link to to personally get involved with making our troops' lives a little better.  In contrast to the asinine array of GOP bumper stickers exclaiming "SUPPORT OUR TROOPS!" we all see driving around on SUVs, the lefty folks publish ACTUAL WAYS to help.  My favorite: http://booksforsoldiers.com/

Zsofia Otvos Solo Exposition at Tojo Gallery opens DEC 2ND

Chris & I will be at the opening reception for charcoll artist Zsofia Otvos in her major solo show of the year, GLANCE.  I just talked to her the other night to try to get her out to dinner at Noon-a-kabob, but she sounded like she didn't plan on leaving the easel to eat or sleep between now and when she delivers the works to be installed at the space.  Her loss.  I had a sick piece of lamb.  She's been developing something new in her technique & had no interest in anything but finishing the new works for the Dec. 2nd show.   Last year at her solo she'd sold nearly all of her larger works by the time Chris & I got to the gallery around 9 - so get there early if you have your eye on a piece.  After this, she's off to Hungary to prep for her exhibit in her hometown of Budapest in the Spring.  Chris & I hope to attend that opening, too, and get some venues secured for a future charcoll group show.

Soon I'll be viewing the short film by Tim Rutili of Califone for which Zsofia did clown make-up and in which Chris & I, as clowns, make out in front of large group of army recruits excercising on 31st street beach.  I hope to have a copy online soon.

NEW CALIFONE ALBUM!

I just downloaded me a copy of the new ROOTS & CROWNS album & I fucking love it.
Go to the califone myspace site for a listen  & a free download or, if you already know how good they are - go ahead to thrill jockey's site to buy a copy for 10 bucks.

I saw on their site that the next time Chicago comes up on the tour they open for Wilco.  Reminds me of the time when Jimi Hendrix opened for the Monkees.

One of the first women to die in Iraq killed herself after protesting interrogation methods

The Freedom of Information Act file request by journalist Greg Mitchell ended what hundreds of phone calls to the military didn't - a search for the story behind the rifle discharge that killed Army specialist Alyssa Peterson, 27, a Flagstaff, Az., native serving with C Company, 311th Military Intelligence BN, 101st Airborne.  She was working in a suicide prevention area in Iraq when she ended her life.

HBO's special on DIEBOLD airs tonight

Bev Harris suspected that the dawn of tech voting allowed for election rigging, so she started to look into it.  Since, she has charged the movement to expose fraud in our elections & started up the now widely known blckboxvoting.org site.  Read her interview regarding the HBO special by linking here.
