chalk and walk after hours

  We dropped by for a look at progress on various forms of art littering the sidewalks of the City Market this evening.  Chores and other obligations had made it impossible to make it down for the festivities during normal hours, and the same reasons made visiting the next day improbable. The early evening viewing proved perfect for unhindered access to the art in progress. Everyone had  mostly left for the day.  A few lingered, finishing up their goals.  Judging by the number in progress, there did not appear to be quite as many participants as in years before.  What was on display looked good, although not quite on par with some of the displays witnessed in the past.

32nd world championship cardboard boat races

While visiting the great state of Arkansas, we had the opportunity to check out this event, which had been elusive for several years.  The endurance of some of these hand manufactured boats was quite surprising, and amusing at times. Apparently, the theme of the year was Star Wars, and there were quite a variety of flotation constructions about the landscape of Sandy Beach. All of the contraptions endured the warm waters quite well, and really did not take on any water.  It was quite surprising, considering the construction materials permitted. A few, while water tight, contained a few minor design flaws that caused disintegration under pressure. One almost fell apart at the starting line, and eventually did, prior to the finish line. It was quite a lot of fun though, and a full house on the beach in spite of threatening rain.  We look forward to getting back to it again. view more photos from this event or add your own to the mix

Justin Kleinfeld ~ photo by DJ Dragonfly ~  Alex Newman and Suzanne Sterling bring a rich legacy of experience to Alcyone from their studio and stage work as producer and lead vocalist of internationally renowned, pioneering electronic dance act, Medicine Drum. Newman produced, co-wrote, and engineered Medicine Drum’s 2003 third album Original Face, which was given a rave review by Billboard: “A Major Thrill... one cool track after another.” Newman and Sterling have toured the USA extensively and performed internationally with Medicine Drum - as keyboardist and lead vocalist - including the recent Australian tour, shows in Japan, and as the opening act for popular electronic/live crossover band Sound Tribe Sector 9 on their 2003 US tour. Alcyone has become a popular choice with clubbers, festival-goers and all-night party people, playing peak-time performances at Earthdance, Harmony Festival, Burning Man’s “Sol System,” Solfest, Anon Salon’s Sea of Dreams, San Francisco Decompression

On a little more than a whim, a friend and I jumped in the car and headed south to Springfield for a one of a kind event featuring Happy Hardcore!  The all night rave-a-thon featured DJ Flippy from Austin, Poximal from Atlanta, White Russian from Boston, Noi from Winston-Salem, Dazee Cutter w/ MC Pibb out of Dallas, Polar from over in St Louis, Ziggy Trix from Fayetteville along with Elekid and Manny from Chicago. With a theme featuring the Power Puff Girls, who could resist; not many from that area, and then some from St Louis and Kansas City.  We didn't make it down until around 10 pm, and the party was already in full swing.  It was a fun-filled night indeed.   view more photos from this event

3rd degree burn

David Goth ~  photos by todd, David Goth, & Shaun Williams ~  Fire is something that can provoke some of the most primal of responses to the human animal. Even seeing the word sends neurons flashing reminding the brain of all its attributes. At its most mundane, fire is light and heat produced through chemical reaction between fuel and oxygen. That simple and dramatic process has made an impression on humanity, due to its destructive nature, its utility and something else that you only get by focusing your attention to the impact on your senses. You see the flickering light, you may feel the heat, perhaps smell and hear it. Fire has long been used in ritual and symbolism. Fire even goes beyond an instinctive respect for it, but also into emotion. 3rd Degree Burn is a group of fire performers that tap into those feelings by performing both fire spinning (also known as "poi"), and breathing fire. Poi is an art related to juggling using balls on ropes, but with fire po
