:: Almost Dying Outside the Gate ::
After a long day of sailing on Saturday we overheard an Mayday call on channel 16 at like 8pm. We listened in horror as 2 guys held onto their overturned sailboat that had lost its keel 8 miles out to sea west from the Golden Gate Bridge. In this water temperature you have approx. 45 minutes before you go into extreme hypothermia and die. Read the full story here. Scary stuff... Wonder if they hit a whale which are heading north this time of year.

Congrats to Portland based fishing life photographer, Corey Arnold for being named one of "PND's 30 new and emerging photographers to watch", and he had a few nice things to say about Fecal Face in his interview... Suddenly I was getting phone calls and inquiries from magazines and galleries around the world, many of whom found me on fecalface. Thanks for the niceness, Corey! It's an honor to be associated with you, sir.

SAN FRANCISCO MUGGING STORY <-- right by my old apartment on Page last month this went down. Not sure of any statistic or anything, but it seems when the economy turns south, muggings and shit jump up. I remember back when the Dot Com shit fell flat. We lived down at 12th and Howard back then and our friends were always getting mugged walking from our house late at night... Stay alert and safe out there. I either skate or bike personally.

:: SF Art Theft ::
San Francisco Gallery Owner Claims Thieves Made Off with Quartet of Paintings Valued at $50K <-- Michael Rosenthal -- owner of the eponymous gallery on Valencia Street -- is perplexed as to why thieves ripped off four of his paintings in the wee hours of Saturday morning. Well, now the paintings have been found. An "Italian looking man" sold all four of the four feet by four feet paintings to some other guy on Market St for $1,000 from the back of a van sometime Saturday... The man then took the paintings home and saw a news report on TV about the theft then phoned police. Now the paintings are safe back in the hands of the gallery... Our question would be, who the hell buys 4 large paintings from the back of a van on Market St.? Shit, you can't even move paintings from a gallery during this economy let alone sell them from a back of a shady van. Weird.

This art show promises to bring the viewer a little closer to that sound in their own head that won't stop going, even when it is quiet, wait - is it ever really quiet? Lots of different artists we enjoy in this one focusing on plenty of things to see, hear, experience, and even learn from in this show; sculptural works, flat drawings, paintings, and photographs will sit on the walls next to sound pieces and home-made instruments, made specifically for this exhibition. Should be a good one, and we should have some photos from this for ya on Monday if the Shopkeep can come through with them.

The $100 House is a project happening in Detroit that a couple (Mitch Cope and Gina Reichert) started - they bought a bunch of dilapidated houses dirt cheap in a Detroit neighborhood, fixed them up with solar heating & electricity, added new appliances and sell them back to artists and the like at a $50 profit.

Lots going on tonight, lots to see. First, They Are Summating at Space 1026 with Michelle Blade, Jeanette Mundt, Suzannah Sinclair and Erika Somogyi. I've been helping to put this one together and I'm real, real excited for it. Also tonight, there is a release party for the new issue of MEGAWORDS at Juanita and Juans (at 11th and Cherry, where the Megawords storefront was last fall). Then Nick Paparone at Copy, a little farther south, there is a photography show at T&P, and finally, I think Jay and Chris made a window display for a show of historical Philadelphia brewing paraphernalia at the AITA Storefront in Old City.

:: Asteroid 'nearly hits' Earth ::
ASTEROID CLOSE CALL <-- The last asteroid of that size which hit the Earth in 1908 "had the force of a multi-megaton nuclear blast, and leveled everything for a distance of twenty-five kilometers around the epicenter"... The distance from the Earth was about twice as high as some telecommunication satellites and approx 1/5 the way to the moon... I'd say we were more than lucky.

:: Help Bring Holli Home ::
Bay Area artist Holli Hawthorne recently traveled to India to visit her boyfriend and was involved in a horrible motorcycle accident last Tuesday when a motorcycle in front of her with three passengers skidded out, and she either swerved to avoid them or ran into them. She was wearing a helmet at the time. Her friend Harrison was on the scene to give her CPR until the ambulance arrived. She has been in a coma with a serious brain stem injury since. Stanford Medical Center has offered to take her in for free as she has no health insurance. That's the good news. The bad news is that she's still in India thousands of miles from the hospital and needs $200,000 for the medical transport from India to Palo Alto. Her friends and family are reaching out for donations. Read her story here and here and donate now.
