From New York 03/07/08Stamina 2008 permalinkThis is amazing. Stamina 2008 is Agathe Snow’s entry to the 2008 Whitney Biennial. It’s an open, free, 8-day Dance-A-Thon. There are daily dance sessions throughout the Park Avenue Armory over the course of a week, culminating in a twentyfour- hour dance marathon on the last day. Dancers are issued time cards to record their participation, and at the end of the week the winner—whoever has danced the longest—is announced. All are welcome to particpate and you can sign up here. Also, check out the list of djs. It’s crazy long!

From Los Angeles 02/25/08Watch This Space permalinkWe are putting the finishing touches on Space 15 Twenty, our new L.A. venue. This is going to be way more than a store, and one of the unique features is this massive billboard in the heart of Hollywood where we plan on getting into a little trouble. Space 15 Twenty also features an outdoor performance space and cafe so watch this space!

From Philadelphia 02/22/08Daniel Johnston permalinkWhat’s all the buzz about? Legendary songwriter and artist Daniel Johnston, of course! He’s at the Trocadero Theatre tonight, performing with local favorites the Capitol Years as a backing band. We’re expecting nothing but awesomeness all around. Brave the elements (it’s icy here!) for a too-rare encounter with actual genius. And...while you’re at it, you should probably pick up one of those Hi, How Are You shirts. Kurt had one, you know… |

From Elsewhere 11/06/07Lost Luggage permalinkThe Unclaimed Baggage store in Scottsboro, AL is exactly what it sounds like. It sells the contents of luggage left unclaimed at airports. Next time the airline loses your luggage, look in Alabama. |
From Elsewhere 11/02/07The Angry Store permalinkIreland’s Angry Store makes you a little less angry about getting on that scale. There are no numbers to worry about. Their Celebrity scale leaves you with the notion you are somewhere between Mr. Ed and the Karate Kid. The Animal scale lets you aspire to be a baby bear or duck (none are in any particular order.) |
From Philadelphia 10/29/07The Silver Ages permalinkLock up your grandmothers! It’s The Silver Ages, specializing in drinking and singing traditional close harmony men’s chorus tunes from the early 20th century. Um…yeah, we can’t even sorta explain this, but we love it a lot. Basically, a bunch of dudes from Philly indie bands thought it would be a good idea to form a glee club. Really. And it turns out they were right! Even Jens Lekman thinks so. Catch them before they get signed to a major and sell out like all the other glee clubs. |
From Philadelphia 10/25/07Stay Classy Philly - Part 2 permalinkA survey of more than 60,000 people at Travelandleisure.com determined Philadelphia home to the most unattractive people in the country. And it doesn’t end there: The people of Philly were then crowned least stylish, least active, least friendly and least worldly. Travel & Leisure editors try to soften the blow by adding, “We were asking people to vote on attractiveness, not unattractiveness. (We) believe there are a lot of attractive people in Philadelphia.” |
From San Francisco 10/01/07The Pirate Store permalinkOpen every day from Noon ‘til 6, the Pirate Store is your first and last stop for everything pirate-related, from glass eyes to good books. (Yes, even pirates like good books.) |
From Elsewhere 08/30/07Oblique Strategies permalinkWhen all else fails, consult Brian Eno - his deck of suggestions (created with artist Peter Schmidt) has been inspiring decisions since 1975. Download the Dashboard Widget here.
