To All Indyish Neighbors, Block Parents, Children and Ol’folks
I am sending out to you, for the first time ever (Indyish Cherry Popped!!), an invitation to see works of art at Galerie VAV Gallery, by Tara Chartrand and myself (Thea Jones). Tara and I were strangers before this show, but quickly we saw the […]

Well, at least the indoor events were a guaranteed good time!
Certainly the worst weather for a MUTEK in recent memory, this year’s fest was still up to the same standards as previous years in other ways.

Starting halfway through the first panel, entitled When Promotion Becomes Distribution, there were a few […]
