Hey yo to everyone on the best coast!

Ice on the High

December 3-5
Thursday Dec. 3- 7:30pm Staged Reading of Ginsberg’s HOWL
Friday Dec. 4- 11-5 day viewing; Performances and video 6:30-10pm
Saturday Dec. 5- 11-5 day viewing; evening performance 6:30-10pm

West Berkeley’s Pacific Basin Building presents,
“Ice on the High” a feral art/music event for three nights and two days in the first week of December. Ice on the High is part of a growing wave of temporal upstart art exhibitions, concerts, and events taking the San Francisco Bay Area by storm. All the artists presented are experimenting with this new context for the first time. The economic downslide has led us to create new spaces for art/music. We consider this an antidote in the face of disaster. Pacific Basin is a mixed-use artists/architects’ building with empty storefronts and this art/music program will fill the space. It is our hope that the arts will bring new possibility to our West Berkeley project.

OMG GOD. I tried writing how excited I am about John & Julianna and Dean & Alex individually and as pairs, but like just trust me

Very excited to finally announce the overwhelmingly nice details of next Friday, September 18th’s screening of “Blondes in the Jungle and Friends,“ a program named so because not only are all the contributors friends, but also because their videos and films are v friendly with the movie - in terms of thematics, looks, feelings, vibes, moments, moods, etc.

Info below, soon to be linked out.

Too much!

I can’t even tell you how siked we are to have the Blondes festival premiere at the Chicago Underground Film Festival. I mean, just check this trailer!!

Here’s the flyer for the program we’re in. We made it so it emphasizes us, but seriously everybody in this program but us is a heavyweight video-artist or filmmaker in the best kinda way. Duh, but “Coconuts and Cocaine” is the show I’m most siked about at CUFF.

P.S. The CUFF website has a review section. If you’ve seen the film already and can post a line or two of thoughts, please do. Nobody out there has any idea what to expect!

RE-UPPED: Lecture Part 2 tonight!

Wed Jul 8 and Wed Jul 22 Catherine Czacki lectures on portals at 7:30 at Harris Lieberman.

Also coffee libations (yo: including free coffee and readings) every Tuesday at 11am for the rest of the month.

Attention all of you in the greater Massachusetts/Infinite Jest area: go check out the Giant Sale show at APE Gallery – for a number of reasons, but like one for example is the DVD of our short films now for sales for $5! Here’s the covers. The letter on the front is I think the best explanation of ourselves we’ve written:

Here’s the O, Nurse! trailer (btw, Happy Bastille day! O, Nurse! takes place 6 years ago today)
