I Never Knew Camilla Ha Rocked the Stage Until Saturday, and Now She’s Leaving

September 20, 2010

Crazy how you see some people around for years, have some drunken and sober exchanges, but it never comes up that they do really cool shit. And when you finally see it, they're leaving town. When I heard that Camilla Ha was going to have a show at Reversible Eye in Humboldt Park, I thought it would be just visual art, maybe some fashion, I knew she was a rad stylist. I didn't realize she … [Read more...] about I Never Knew Camilla Ha Rocked the Stage Until Saturday, and Now She’s Leaving

Dear Toucan Ride Thing, I Love You

September 20, 2010

Dear Toucan Ride Thing at Humboldt Park Playground: I don't see you around much anymore. When I was a kid, we would fight over who got to ride you, even though you didn't really move. But you looked like the bird on the Fruit Loops box and that's all that mattered. Mm, fruity milk. Much better than nasty Cheerios milk. You're fading away now, an endangered species. At least some kids will … [Read more...] about Dear Toucan Ride Thing, I Love You

Coming soon to Bravo. … [Read more...] about “Blago Blago: One Island, One Man”

The Arts of Life Band

August 18, 2010

So I'm working on a story about The Arts of Life Band — made up of musicians both with disabilities and not — and I filmed and edited a short video (54 seconds) of their performance the night they opened for Bobby Conn at one of the Pitchfork after-parties. I think it's pretty punk rock... This short will show on Thursday, August 26 from 5-8pm in the Art Institute of Chicago's Modern Wing, … [Read more...] about The Arts of Life Band

I Could Never Work at the Gap

April 22, 2010

Simply because I suck at folding. Your Honors, I submit into evidence, two identical lengths of fabric (that are now curtains): While I'm on the whole submitting evidence/courtroom tip, you know how Ice-T is on Law and Order? I was leafing through Fuck You Heroes by photographer Glen E. Friedman recently, and I forgot how fly Ice-T was back in the day, not that he's not a badass now or … [Read more...] about I Could Never Work at the Gap
