... the war on art, music, culture, and people getting together continues! The Temescal is facing a $1,000 fine if it gets one more complaint. Yuppies have moved into the neighborhood! There is a pizza joint next door which is much louder... But...

So come to the series while you still can!

The Underground Hit!

REALITY PLAYINGS: experiments in experience/participation performance

So two weeks ago our computer crashed at work, it has taken this long to get a new one installed. While I was rather daunted (in my own unique paranoid way) by the idea of probably losing 8 months or one year's worth of art and manuscripts, Amy was strangely calm and cool and collected.

"We'll make more!" She said.

I have to admit, her attitude calmed me to a certain extent, but I continued to fret until last night. My boss (formerly our techie until it was out-sourced) managed to transfer everything (amounting to hundreds of images) to his computer. In a day or two I'll transfer everything to discs (like I told Amy I needed to do about three weeks ago).

All hail to Satan (my boss)!

Practical and Subtle Life Skills

We all need hope in these times of seemingly endless suffering, pain, greed, and so much needless health problems.

Welcome to Practical Ways to Higher Health, a path walked by many, but misunderstood by most.

My story was like many. I bottomed out as a young man after a car crash left me with a broken neck. It was my fault, driving like a stunt man, and thinking I could do almost anything. I was arrogant and wreckless.

But as I recovered, I learned about true healing, and what our bodies are capable of. Over the past 20 years, I have seen so many “miracles,” they all seem normal and natural for each of us…

Can Artists Save The World?
by Julia Moulden

A photograph of me circa 1977 hangs over my desk. It was taken by Toni Beatty, an American photographer I met when we shared adjoining villas and a garden in Tepotzlan, Mexico.

"Why didn't you include artists in your book?" she wrote in an email after reading We Are the New Radicals. My reply was honest -- it hadn't occurred to me. But, as you might imagine, I've been collecting examples ever since, and will write about arts and social change soon.

Men and Feminism: Seal Studies

Lir Irish Pub, 903 Boylston St., Boston

There’s no denying that men’s involvement and interest in feminism is key to its continuing relevance and importance. Shira Tarrant, an expert in gender politics, feminism, pop culture, and masculinity, in her new work Men and Feminism, addresses the question of why men should care about feminism in the first place.
