Had Vegemite and toast for breakfast today, yum.
Brad Brown's new solo show opened Thursday November 15th, and runs through December 22.
The exhibition includes a series of painted wood constructions comprised of two-foot square elements. Although most of these constructions appear to be abstract or free association paintings, they are essentially a collage of quick notations drawn from a variety of sources including comics from the 1920s and 30s, Russian avant-garde posters, Japanese erotica, airline safety cards, and deChirico’s late metaphysical interiors from the 1970s.
See it while you can at Larissa Goldston Gallery, Chelsea, NYC, 25th Street between 10th and 11th Avenue, it is a fantastic exhibition.
I had the privilege of attending an Amnesty International USA event last night in San Francisco.
Here's their brief on the project, please visit and share this information and push towards ending this genocide.
Amnesty International's unprecedented Eyes On Darfur project leverages the power of high-resolution satellite imagery to provide unimpeachable evidence of the atrocities being committed in Darfur - enabling action by private citizens, policy makers and international courts. Eyes On Darfur also breaks new ground in protecting human rights by allowing people around the world to literally "watch over" and protect twelve intact, but highly vulnerable, villages using commercially available satellite imagery.
The project was led by the Crisis Prevention and Response Center (CPRC) - Amnesty International USA's rapid response center for engaging members, policy-makers, and the public in preventing and responding to human rights crises around the world.
The project was funded by the Save Darfur Coalition (SDC). The Save
Darfur Coalition raises public awareness about the ongoing genocide in
Darfur and mobilizes a unified response to the atrocities that threaten
the lives of people throughout the Darfur region. It is an alliance of
more than 180 faith-based, advocacy and humanitarian organizations. The
coalition's member organizations represent 130 million people of all
ages, races, religions and political affiliations united together to
help the people of Darfur.

Saw the movie Rendition last night, starring Reese, Jake, Meryl, Peter, Alan and Omar. Very good film, but much more than a film. Learn more about the details of the real stories of Extraordinary Rendition.
Gus D'angelo makes it down to SOMA for a ball game. He's now at the San Francisco Bike Coalition, presently about to celebrate 15 years of Critical Mass.
I used to be able to play Scrabble on the same level as Rob Scalise. After all, I've been playing the game my whole life, and come from good Scrabble stock on both sides of my family. He said he was rusty, as did I. We caught the Giants losing to the Dodgers, 6 - 2 on a nice day at the Big Phone. David Wells threw a few perfect innings, Giants rookies created an inning of excitement, but the real game began after the game.
In short, Rob threw down his first bingo AIRINGS on turn 6 of game 1 to take a slight lead. I had the game in my pocket when the tiles ran out with a score of 358 to 310, until of course, Senor Scalise tossed another bingo MILIEUS to end the game and win 388 to 353. Not bad.
Game two, the revenge match started out with much fire, bluster and spice. Thanks to that mythical, magical combination of tomato and potato juice dressed up for public consumption and called the Bloody Mary. Turn number two, Scalise - STATION for a 69 point bingo. Gottesman - SHUNTERS for an 83 point bingo. That was the last of my lead for the day, he later tossed in MUDDIER, and thrashed me 482 to 336. Uncle.
