The Bicycle Film Festival
(03 October 2005) - New environmentalism (the kind that feels as good as it looks) shares a lot with the urban bike culture movement.

Tattoo Culture
(30 September 2005) - There are at least four tattoo shops within spitting distance in central Williamsburg. After hearing rumors about one opening a couple doors down from Oslo (my favorite local coffee spot), I noticed someone in the space on the walk to get a morning cup.

London Design Festival 2005
(22 September 2005) - London's always calling, but right now, with the 3rd annual London Design Festival running through September 30th, the siren song is a little louder.

Giant Drag
(16 September 2005) - The unofficial inaugural CMJ prom was held last night in NYC and featured LA-based Giant Drag rolling with the punches on stage. In spite of bouncers mysteriously removing their monitors midway through their set, fierce lead singer Annie Hardy kept up her dry jokes in between strumming and singing her way through indie pop-meets-shoegaze songs. Micah Calabrese, held it down with her, deftly drumming...

Nextfest
(27 June 2005) - I too made it to Nextfest, Wired Magazine's showcase of all things futuristic. Interestingly, the press day was also the education day so it was a great chance to see how kids responded to all the exhibits.

Got Crabs?
(28 March 2005) - The International Home & Housewares Show hit Chicago’s McCormick Place last week (admittedly not as cool as Carol's trip to the gaming convention in San Francisco, but I digress).
