Last year around this time I decided that it was my mission to finally get into films and really start collecting DVD’s. After a few months of grabbing as many Criterion Collection, Masters Of Cinema, Kino Video, and classic releases I decided that I must find a way to see foreign films and older films on the big screen. While cruising the net I discovered the “Pittsburgh Filmmakers” and their two theaters in Pittsburgh. The Harris Theatre is located downtown on Liberty Avenue and the Regent Square Theatre is in Edgewood. The reason why I bring this up now is that I’ve noticed the quality of films being shown has increased dramatically in the past few months. Hitchcock, David Lynch, Fellini, and the best in Indie Cinema are on tap in January at both theaters. I’m very excited to finally see the Ian Curtis film entitled “Control” which tells of the tragic life of the Joy Division front-man and his sudden suicide. BTW: That pic is from Eraserhead.. maybe the craziest film of the 70’s which plays this weekend.

If you’re living in or loving LA and really want to take a dip into the Hollywood fishbowl in which she swims, pop into the World of Wonder Gallery for the “Just Britney” art opening, where Britney Spears-inspired work from more than 30 artists is on display. Included will be YouTube’s number one Britster fanatic, Chris Crocker, whose piece depicts Mr. Crocker himself perched seductively atop his memorabilia collection of The Brit. The show runs for two weeks, and yeah, it’s so over the top you’ve just gotta see it firsthand. www.myspace.com/just_britneyartshow

The Pittsbugh Post Gazette has declared Doughtnuts and Art 2.0 as one of the “Hot Things To Do This Weekend”, and quite frankly, I can’t blame them.
Sorry I have been talking about this event so much, but you know how you babble on and on about someone who you just fall in love with? It’s like that for me. Who needs a girl, when you got an EVENT.
Here’s the link to a Blurb in the Post Gazette

We’re also on the calendar of events in the City Paper as well. It seems no matter what paper you read in this city, you’re about to get a Doughnut wake up call right in your face!
See you all Saturday <3
Starting tonight, and carrying on until Sunday night, Pittsburgh’s Southside is having it’s annual festival.
This year, they are having an event in the Southside Works. There will be local artists, musicians, food, and lots of other stuff going on. You can find more information at their website : www.southsideworks.com
I will there doing a mural in the afternoon, so be sure to stop by and see me! As of writing this, I still don’t know what I’ll be doing, so it should be pretty interesting…
Below are some photos I took while I was at the History Museum in Washinton DC. They had a large variety of dinosaur bones, gems, and animals.
Right outside of the musuem, you have the option to purchase everyone’s favorite ice cream from the future, Dippin’ Dots. Behind the museum is a tent, where for three dollars, you can kiss women. As you can tell, you’re in for a fun filled day.
