Dead of the Living Night
Through November 27, Dead of the Living Night is up at Space 1026. Artwork by Jonathan Cammisa and Jonah Birns includes a recreation of a horror video store, imagery crafted from gore magazines, found photos and movies stills, and a life-sized stack of monster corpses. Sounds positively terrifying and absolutely awesome.
J. Aldridge by Sea of Shoes
We love Jane. So when we asked her to style a few outfits around the new shoes in her J. Aldridge by Sea of Shoes collection and asked her where she would wear them, we weren't surprised when she came up with a couple of looks that are whimsical and awesome.
Six Scents Series Two
This Friday, stop by Reward to catch a whiff of Six Scents Series Two, designer fragrances from Toga, Henrik Vibskov, 3.1 Phillip Lim, Richard Nicoll, House of Holland and Damir Doma, and preview the short film that accompanies each scent. Smells like fashion.

William Boone's New Zine
You have to be insane not to strike quick and grab yourself a copy of William Boone's new zine. He is one of my complete and total favorite artists around and you need to go spend an hour sorting through all of his posted work ASAP. Then try to get one of the limited zines. -Jen
The Year of the Wolfbat
Wolfbats come to roost at Space 1026 this Friday, with a woodcut installation that includes sculptures and murals, snakes, eagles, angry beasts and wolfbats, of course.

First Annual Blame-A-Thon
Drew Olanoff was diagnosed with cancer this past May, and ever since then has been blaming everything on his cancer.

The Blame-A-Thon will include a full line up of bands at the North Star Bar, a raffle, giveaways, events at Indy Hall, and the Taco Bell Truck.
Making Time Pool Party
After enough radness to get them booted from the Flying W, Making Time found a new spot to hold their final pool party of 2009. And it's even in the city. Read the full story here.
Brian and Bobby Speak
Brian and Bobby Speak is a blog featuring the written correspondence of Brian McTear and Bobby Wolter. Brian and Bobby have both spent their lives battling Cystic Fibrosis, and due to the dangers of CF, Brian and Bobby have never actually met. It is under these circumstances that they forged an intimate and long lasting friendship. The honesty with which they discuss death, love, and life, among a wide range of subjects, is refreshing, hilarious, and at times, heartbreaking. Sadly, Bobby Wolter, an Urban employee and dear friend, passed away early Saturday due to complications from CF. As his letters to Brian show, Bobby was one of a kind. A sweet, caring, and open person, he brimmed with life even as he struggled with it daily. For those of us who knew him, he is absolutely irreplaceable. For those that weren't lucky enough to meet Bobby, you can get to know him through his letters.

Max G. Morton "Looking For The Magic"
If Max G. Morton's new book "Looking For The Magic" isn't sold out by now, I'd say all you lucky Philly residents ought to head down to Juan & Juanita's and grab yourself a copy quick. Max wows everyone once again with his latest book of wild childhood tales and how he lived through it all to become the impossibly perfect writer he is today. X - Jen
