AI WEI WEI - ART IS DANGEROUS!

 AI WEI WEI - one of the reasons for his arrest was pornography.

His studio in Shanghai was demolished by the Chinese goverment.

Ai Weiwei was arrested on April 4th, and have pretty much disappeared. He is one of the most influential artists in the world - which means he has an international audience that watches and listens to what he has to say and until now was able to share his views. 

The chinese government was not too fond of his opinions and had arrested him on tax evasion, pornography and some other charges. Feel free to send your thoughts about this to the Chinese embassy/ambassador here in NYC. I'm sure he will be stoked to hear from you.

Ai Weiwei's sculptures will be on display in NYC on May 2 at Central Park. He use to live here in the NYC in the 90's.

Don't forget Japan.
They need our help.

THE FEARLESS VAMPIRE KILLERS

I forgot about this film by Roman Polanski, starring his late wife Sharon Tate. Its definitely in the must see classics category. I really like the opening sequence with the little droplets of blood as the credits role and the humor through out the film. I need to add this to my dvd library!!

CHRISTIAN HAAS

I saw these rope lights by Christian Haas at Moss. Its messy in a clean way and gives off a soft gentle light. The juvenile me would like to make a noose and rock it out that way or just leave it as a pile on the floor. Fancy x'mas light steez. 

WA PROJECT at 25CPW

LONG LIVE THE WHITE FAMILY!

I just watched this documentary last night and loved it. The Whites are HARDCORE - this family is fearless! True American Rebel family...they love to party! They know how to work the system too...well, except for one member of the fam who's doing major time. Go watch this and take a road trip thru the Appalachians, its a part of America most people have forgotten. I drove thru the scenic Appalachian mountain range 2 years ago and it was amazing. Also observed lots of Mountain Dew drinking...hahaha, appropriate for the region.

MORE TSUNAMI DOGS

This one is really hard to watch. The reporter's are saying that they are going to look for some water and food for them. These guys were saved later and are recovering in a vets office.

Here's info on how to help. They are also looking for volunteer vets in Japan, similar to Medecins Sans Frontieres work but for for our furry friends. Please HELP! They have received $18000 so far in donations. Not even enough for pet food...but every dollar will make an impact.
