a bridge to Mars

watching quote artifact unquote the documentary about the rock band directly after watching erase screening a bridge too far quote unquote provoked in me this clever mash-up head especially the scene where the good guys se quote we are holding the north end of the bridge they are holding the south end of the bridge and the subservient says quote you mean we are surrounded.parenthasis I am talking about the part where they hire the producer capital F flood and have a false sense of optimism that is to say hiiithe band is surrounded and besieged cheeky monkey aren’t I and thank you Srthe pushing my buttons speak friend and enter and all that the cup of tea couldn’t hurt30

in the studio we call life for media or TiVo screen capture or like sissy for us pushing rock even when we would let rather roll will be rolled

(I’d like to see a fight between Chuck Wepner and Namigoro Rashomon….
Mark Weiss
retired concert promoter, budding fight promoter, of middle aged to elder men — Rashomon is 95

what about a fight club focused on former William Morris agents????)

For actual information on Chuck Wepner, who fought Ali and inspired “Rocky”, contact APB American
Program Bureau
in Newton, MA.

“Yojimbo” screens at 7:30 tonite at Stanford Theatre. It was the source for “A Fistful of Dollars” starring Clint Eastwood — not sure who played “The Giant”.

Capital corrupts worker outreach campaign, for Carpenters 22, in P.A.

There could be six jobs here not two holding these signs and props, or why not get a permit to build and display at Lytton Plaza?

The international guild of puppeteers should file a protest here, demanding someone qualified operate the grimbo. As ye sew, so ye reap and all that.

South African ceramics artist Andile Dyalvane visited the Palo Alto home of former arts commissioner Terry Acebo Davis on Sunday, July 26, during his local residency.

Andile Dyalvane, an emerging artist from Cape Town, South Africa, who works in ceramics and painted, scarified leather, is in residency at the Palo Alto Art Center thru August 2, 2015. He is producing a body of work in conduction with the ceramics shop steward Gary Clarien, some of which will be made for sale in the art center gallery. As a resident of the center, Dyalvane is available for students, collectors and the merely curious at various hours during his term, similar to the program featuring Ehren Tool in 2014. He led a masters’ class last Friday, and gave a lecture July 14. He has shown his work in Cape Town, Taipai China, France, Santa Fe, New Mexico. His native language is Xhosa, but learned English at age 18. He is founder and co-director of Imiso Gallery in Cape Town.

Here is a gallery of he and or his recent work:

Beacom said. It is particular to every time and place. From her own childhood, Beacom remembers the reliably warm greeting she used to get from Fran Hinson, the late owner of the old Fran’s newsstand on Lytton Avenue. Hinson and his sister Ruth welcomed kids into their shop to read comics, inviting them behind the counter to pick out penny candy. “We never bought the comics, but they were nice to us,” she said. “Who knew how important those adults would be in our lives? “Forever in my mind will be the smell of red licorice, tobacco and newsprint together and the independence of being able to walk to Fran’s.” (from PAW, 2011, on teens, Kenrick)
