Holy crap I'm not going to be out of town for Pride this year! I have a Saturday night to kill, is anyone else here planning on going? Or, someone suggest something to do/see. |

Neil Gaiman is dating Amanda Palmer? Why didn't anyone inform me?! You're all fired!
:O
:O
:O
I'm prevented from going 'squee' and 'ZOMFG<3' other such fangirlish things because this is TERRIBLE NEWS. Amanda Palmer is MY girlfriend (she just doesn't know it). |

Lookit lookit, I'm a badass performance artist!
My IMCA 330 class put on a show at La Sala Rossa a couple days ago. It went pretty smoothly, considering that a bunch of performance art students were running it themselves. Note: if you ever do a show in a theater-ish venue, don't put performance artists in charge. Don't put artists in charge, either...that's what techs are for. And do real rehearsals. ('We don't need to rehearse, our art just bubbles up spontaneously from within!')
It was fun though. We rock the Montreal art thing :)
I was painted red for the show, and afterward I kinda looked like I'd been dipped in gore. Don't ever ever get acrylic paint in your hair. |

The exhibition was awesome!
The Belgo Building (dozens of art galleries in one place) + Nuit Blanche (the city's annual all-night art festival) = over 1500 visitors through our exhibition in one night. Holy CRAP. There was a lineup outside the gallery by midnight. I had to wait 20 minutes to get my guests into my own show.
:D
The vernissage was much quieter (you could actually see the art) and cozier. An impressively-mustached art critic (Dr.So-and-so-with-the-duster) even took an interest in my piece. He spent a while telling me about all the famous native artists he knows personally...until some airy little douche interrupted to quote Shakespeare and then kinda stand there, looking expectant. *facepalm* Is "Shakespeare said that, you know" code for something?
( Exhibition pics... )
It was a really good run, overall. I got flowers :D |

A friend alerted me to a most excellent event for the anti-social:
"Quiet people are invited. Bring something to work on. No dancing."
I would totally pay $5 for a reason to go out, listen to good music, have a drink, and ignore everyone else. This is where I'll be for the next two Mondays.

ALSO, in the category of Important Events in Montreal:
Vernissage of Make Yourself at Home, tonight, 7-10pm in the Belgo Building. |

Concordia's ArtMatters festival is coming up, and I got myself into a show that's coinciding with Nuit-fucking-Blanche. YEAH.
Make Yourself At Home
Les Territoires Est
Belgo Building, 372 Rue Ste-Catherine O #527
feb 27 to march 7
(Of course, there's been a fuckup, and my name/project description is nowhere on the website or on the freshly-printed leaflets. Go figure.)
The vernissage is on Wednesday, March 4, 7 - 10 pm. We will have cupcakes, wine and art. :) Nuit Blanche is on Feb 28, all night, and will probably also be vernissage-y(drunken). And hey, it's fucking Nuit Blanche in fucking Montreal, all the cool kids will be there. Come to Montreal!

Turritopsis nutricula, here. "They’re able to return to polyp stage due to a cell change in the external screen (Exumbrella), which allows them to bypass death." Thereby technically attaining immortality.
Whatever. I'm inclined to think they've attained immortality on account of being SO incredibly chill. They just hang out and drift, man. For eternity.

| Amanda Palmer's too damn fat for her record label. |

Jesus CHRIST on a stick.
Roadrunner had a problem with the shots of her belly in the Leeds United music video. Their problem was that there was too much of it. O.o They wanted to edit out the parts that showed too much of her unsightly feminine figure, and she, being Amanda Palmer, told them where they could stick it, and left.
Look at that belly!
I had this weird idea in my head that she was forever beyond the body image debate. Above and not subject to. Roadrunner calls her figure 'uncommercial'...which makes me think that they're only starting to clue into something here: there is NOTHING about Amanda Palmer that is commercial. This is such a weird thing to pick on, all of a sudden. How commercial is her mime-esque makeup, her husky voice, her songs about masturbation and sex changes? Have I mentioned yet that her belly is anything but chubby, by any standards? Just about my size, I think.
In fact, here's mah belly. And the mannequin's! It's an awesome belly! And it's too damn fat for Roadrunner.
And hey, if there were a little more of Amanda Palmer to be had, anywhere on her, I'm fucking happier.
Bellies unite! |

The artist son of a baker unveils his latest exhibition in Thailand: Body Bakery.
It's all completely edible, made from bread dough, nuts and chocolate, though I don't know what he's using to paint them.
