The old adage is as follows: "Those who can't do, teach." One might also assume that "Those who can't teach, do." Those who can teach and do are essentially the Jedi masters of their profession—the flyest of the fly. They're like the somersaulting Yoda. Given that we do not live in the imaginary land of George Lucas (though I am sure a small, unbalanced minority might disagree), the opportunities to view such masters in the throes of their talents are rare to say the least. But rare does not mean nonexistent: Look no further than the School of the Museum of Fine Arts' Staff Arts Exhibition. In its 27th year, the annual show honors SMFA employees who live and breathe their passion for art. The 10-day show will consist of work in a variety of mediums and concepts, all sharing the common theme of being made by some pretty badass staffartists. And this event is 100 percent free. Now that's masterful.

 

[2008 Staff Art Exhibition. Tue 8.12.08-Fri 8.22.08. Mon-Fri/10am-5pm. Anderson Auditorium, School of the Museum of Fine Arts, 230 The Fenway, Boston. 617.267.6100. smfa.org]

ROTHBURY FESTIVAL POST 2

By caballero on Sat, Jul 4, 2009 9:41 pm

The anticipation behind the opening notes of an STS9 set has to be seen to be believed. The crowd is literally bubbling with energy, mostly directing it towards keeping the entire zoo of inflatable animals afloat on the surface of an ocean of people. Set against the backdrop of Sherwood Forest, the wooded area that separates the Ranch Arena from the two bigger stages, this is the Rothbury Festival's chance to show off the expensive lights which your $280 ticket presumably helped pay for.

Rothbury Music Festival: Post 1

I wish I could say I saw a couple more cities on my way to Rothbury, Michigan. We—Spencer, Mills, Maysa, Keith and myself—drove from Allston to Michigan in about 17 hours, passing through Cleveland, Detroit, Lansing and a couple other places along the way. After making it through a 20-hour bus ride in Argentina a few years ago, I've learned to appreciate all the things you see along the way during a road trip that you miss on a plane.

 


Fuck Michael Jackson

The guy could dance, hooked up with a couple of good producers, diddled little kids (allegedly, yeah right), and is now dead. Good riddance.
