I've been meaning to tell you this...

I was introduced to this Berlin dance/ performing art collective by my friend Eric Jones. Constanza Macras / Dorky Park.
They're seriously talented, provocative and mesmerizing.
Please enjoy.

read an article for critical studies about Jeff Wall. I'm in love.

Pretties

Looking back on things I have on my photobucket account, I came across these beauties. I think I found them on a flickr account two+ years back.

Granite

I spent all last weekend in a granite rock quarry. Here are some images from the adventure.

The bus was the worst time for me, but these two lovelies kept me company.

The stage was built only for this purpose, and was pretty epic. During the show it looked like the end of close encounters.

It also reminded me and my coworkers of "a convention of faceless aliens"

The performance was beautiful because the dancers had amazing bodies and perfect control and form, but I thought that the quarry itself took the cake. The music was slightly improv, and gave the whole thing a relatively creepy atmosphere. It was rainy and cold sometimes, but overall pretty amazing. I have finally gotten over my work hangover.

Laura Bush is currently eating in 20.21, and her secret service has taken over hennepin avenue to ensure her safety.
They're really taking over. I thought the parade of senators and lobbists were bad.
