RIGHT-WING STREET ART? EYETEETH SAYS YES

I posited, somewhat glibly the the splasher might be considered rather fascist and by extension right -wing. He points to Princess Hijab, who goes around putting scarves on posters. I think her behavior is SERIOUSLY up for interpretation Check it out here

What about misogynist street art? There’s plenty of that. Perhaps it would be easier to draw the connections between dehumanizing women and being right-wing. Hell, consumerism and cultural co-optation is pretty right-wing too and there’s a ton of that floating around.

dirtyfinger!
Glitter Graphics

the chicken hut party was insane! insane! there were a gazillion people there and i didn’t get home until 8am. thanks to conrad for organizing. he is pictured above.

it was a fun-filled evening of bartending. the place was trashed from top to bottom with one computer desk collapsed and one passed out guy getting written all over and having doyle’s rice spilled on his head. dj dirtyfinger and all the bands and DJs were awesome.

i am now sick from overdoing it.

THIS PALESTINIAN LIFE

Title: This Palestinian Life
Location: All Angel\’s Church, 251 W. 80th St. (80th at Broadway) NYC
Link out: Click here
Description: FILM SCREENING: This Palestinian Life

Friday Feb. 6, 2009 Egyptian peace activist Philip Rizk was abducted and detained for four days by Egyptian police at a peaceful solidarity march for Gaza just north of Cairo. [see NYT article]

After Rizk was released, he expressed the wish for all the attention his arrest received to be transferred to the crisis in Gaza.

Keeping with these requests, Rizk\’s documentary, This Palestinian Life, will have its New York-debut this Tuesday, Feb. 17 at All Angel\’s Church in Manhattan.

This Palestinian Life shares stories of nonviolent struggle in Palestinian rural communities in the face of the Israeli occupation. Filmmaker Philip Rizk meets with villagers in the Gaza Strip, Jordan Valley, and the South Hebron Hills who have endured home demolitions, imprisonment, settler attacks, and other forms of oppression that threaten their very way of life.

This film exposes the rarely told story of community-based resistance against the unjust policies of an occupying state.

This event is sponsored by the New York Faith and Justice (NYF&J) and All Angel\’s Church in Manhattan. There will be a discussion with film co-creator Julie Norman following the screening.

Please see http://philiprizk.org/ for more info on Philip\’s arrest.

We would love to see you there. Please spread the word

WHAT: New York-debut of This Palestinian Life
WHERE: All Angel\’s Church, 251 W. 80th St. (80th at Broadway) New York, NY
WHEN: 7:30 - 9:30pm

I LOVE YOU SUN VALLEY!

Just had an amazing snowboarding trip to Sun Valley, Idaho! We mostly shredded Bald Mountain at Sun Valley and then on the way back to Boise airport went to Bruce Willis’ awesome Soldier Mountain. Check out my new friend Gabe skiing “the burn” the scorched backside of Bald Mountain. Notable memories: my new friends Ben and Zack from Detroit showing me how to make a “dirty ashtray” on a giant apres ski tecate at Apples bar; the guy with an idaho jobkiller tat on his neck; the fluffy halfpipe shaped runs on seattle ridge; explaining to a zillion semi-pro skiiers that no i am not looking for more vert, i am from the east coast where our double black runs are equivalent to your bunny hill covered in ice.

The longest-running theatrical production in New York — it runs from Brooklyn to Manhattan — premiered on Thursday night to rave reviews in subway stations around the city.

Earl Wilson/The New York Times

Catherine Yeager and Mr. Caffall perform a ballroom dance.

Proving that all the world’s a moving stage, a 30-member cast and crew spent a whirlwind winter’s night performing before captive audiences aboard subway trains that served as the combined setting for “IRT: A Tragedy in Three Stations.”READ ON
