RODENCIA DE 24 YEARS OF AGE TODAY
Often referred to as the “Beautiful Rodent” this tiny mouse becomes the age of 24 today. Riches shall surround her. She tells me she will be eating at Kegon Hibachi Grill in Chicago. This pleases her greatly. To my near and dear: You are a darling. You are small. You are everything that one can be who works like a motherfucker and then parties like one. May all of your dreams come...

SCAD BEES STILL MAKING MOVIES →
The young collective Body Holographic is rich with the images and sounds from the minds of kids from the SAV hood. “They don’t write their shit anymore, they just kick it from their head”. In other words, we’re in love. Hold me.

FLEET FOXES / ALL AROUND GREAT GUYS HAVE TO CANCEL...
Subject: SLC Punked :( :( :( Hey Salt Lake friends, We are stranded in Denver until tomorrow night getting our broken down van repaired and there is no possible way we can make it to the show tomorrow. We are incredibly bummed. Our van broke down an hour outside of Denver and we sat in the middle of a dust storm for four hours before my amazing aunt and her friend came and saved the day, taking us...

In other nudist resort news, “a clothing-optional hotel in Florida, Caliente Resorts, was forced to withdraw from the American Association for Nude Recreation amid rumors of sex parties taking place behind its closed doors.” [Guardian] via

THE HOT SHIT. BURGERS. COMME CA.
COMME CA, which J. Gold says is the best burger in LA (!) is now serving their lunch only treat for dinner and beyond. Burger time awaits! From J. Gold’s mouth to our ears, “I swear that the best cheeseburger I’ve ever tasted was the one I had for lunch at Comme Ça last Tuesday, a thick, dripping, loosely packed puck of bloody-rare beef, glazed with a quarter inch of good Cheddar,...

Phobias, Foibles & Friends continues the artists look at mischievous children. Inspired by the stylings of Edward Gorey, and Charles Adams, these works are both morbid, and shockingly fun. Also opening alongside the Inky...

OH HOW FUN! JESSICA ROY SHIT TALKS THE WHOLE NYC...
I could read about it all day… “Everyone there went to Columbia or Harvard or Yale. They argued over grammar and syntax, the difference between a metaphor and a metonymy. Someone sparked a joint and everyone drank and simmered in their own self-congratulatory pseudo-intellectualism. For the first time in my life I felt intellectually inferior. I could not name my favorite passage in...
