Acting a Fool
Forget speed dating, Next, and online profiles (unless you want to be on a TV special when you go to meet that 13 year-old boy) and check out Avail 4. This theater performance, as The Free Times relates it, has actors performing monologues that are interspliced with single audience members standing up and saying something clever. At the end of the night if you liked what you saw you can approach any of those audience members and maybe score some digits. Who comes up with this shit?
More For Smokes, More For Arts
Issue 18, a proposal to be voted on on November 7, would add a new tax to cigarettes (about 30 extra cents a pack) that would go towards funding the arts in Cleveland. Dudes who crunch numbers believe $20 million a year could be raised, while other dudes believe the tax will serve a major blow to businesses that rely on cigarette sales. Here’s a conundrum… what if you are an artist that smokes? And I know what you are thinking, “It could never ever happen!” But, just think about it.
More Hawthorne Heights
The Scene wants a cut of the action now too, so they give us a story about Victory records counter suing those RPG playing nerds. Hey, remember when we reported this over a week ago? Get with it guys.
And just in case you don’t think The Scene is out of touch, take a gander at their “Best of Cleveland” feature. Highlights include naming myspace the best blog in Cleveland (yeah, last time I checked that shit was international), Borders the best book store (shit is elsewhere too my friends), and best store for music equipment Guitar Center (thanks for the info, I’ve never even heard of that place!). Unfortunately they removed the “Best Place to Buy Shit” category which Wal-Mart won and Taco Bell was just barely edged out of “Best Mexican” by Luchita’s. When you don’t have your finger on the pulse you make a city look dead.
annnnnnd…. here’s an addition by Denny (you can tell because it’s so boring):
Tomorrow and Saturday there is going to be a National Conference about Fair Elections, Electronic Vote Fraud and Restoring Democracy, held by We Count 2006! Here is the Official Press Release. Stay informed!
