Ok, slight exaggeration in the title. Less orphan-threatening in reality, so that’s good… but am I wrong or is there something deeply ironic in this expensive piece of art poo gone wild? I think McCarthy will be interested in this story, once they tell him!

A powerful gust of wind recently swept a house-sized sculpture of […]

Yesterday was an incredible birthday party for Indyish, our crazy legged indie arts network. The show, from my perspective, could not have gone better. The sound team from Sala Rossa did a beautiful job, I didn’t hear feedback all night, and the sound was warm and thunderously full dispite the ridiculous amount of complex instruments […]

We are what’s left of a mad matriarchy, and all girls but 1 in […]

Hey, does anyone out there have video from yesterday’s Mobile Clubbing at Mount Royal Metro?
Here are some videos from dance flash mobs around the world, most from about 2 years ago when this first went round. But first, some footage from the 4000 person Slow Dance flash mob in Buenos Aires from earlier this […]
