Spring Street, NYC-place to be this weekend
Let's all get on a plane and head to 11 Spring Street (at Elizabeth), NYC for this weekend's open house of the decade. Wooster Collective is working in partnership with the new owners of the building that has been notorious for years as street / graff artists' playground. They plan multi-million dollar condos on this spot, but before they begin renovations on Monday morning, there's one last farewell in grand style. For the past few months, national and international artists were invited to paint the 30,000 sq foot inside...all of which will be sealed up as if a time capsule of sorts.
For more info visit Wooster or read about it in the NY Times.

Perpetual Motion Roadshow at Anno Domini!
Perpetual Motion Roadshow #39...
Thursday, December 14th at 8pm
The Perpetual Motion Roadshow is an indie press touring circuit, an unholy combination of a vaudevillian variety show and a punk rock tour. Each month, three new lively indie performers pile in a car and do seven cities in eight days, doing shows with the bold guarantee: NO BORING READINGS OR YOUR MONEY BACK! Transnational, it loops the northeast May-October and makes runs down the west coast during November-April. Founded by No Media Kings, they've been making their own fun since 2003 -- running on pure volunteer power and dirty dirty gasoline.
PMR #39 features...
singer/songwriter/spoken word sensation
TROY CURTIS from San Jose
opens the show!
irreverent guitarist
OCHO
from Minnesota!
unicorn pop poet
MIKE YOUNG
from Ashland!
the common man's poet
T-POE
from Portland!
Ocho has been performing original songs for almost ten years. His songs reflect a mind that's upbeat, thoughtful, irreverent, frustrated, and inspired. They give the listener something to laugh at, like the futility of survival in the modern world, and the lack of answers to important life questions: "What's our ultimate purpose?" and "How can I make money without really DOING anything?" At 16, he unwittingly started a punk-rock scene in a rural South Dakota town that still thrives. He recently received his Master's degree in counseling psychology. His latest CD, "GoriillaBuddha," explores the stupidity and healing power of that science.
Mike Young is a major proponent of remote-controlled grace. He co-edits NOÖ Journal (www.noojournal.com), a free literary and political print magazine distributed all over and online. Plus he publishes stuff: poetry and fiction, in lovely indie magazines like Pindeldyboz, Opium Magazine, elimae, Juked, Wordriot and 3AM Magazine. Somehow, despite the smog and android droppings that dominate modern air, he has also managed to develop a singing voice. It is independent from his body. It pays scant rent. Check out his blog Dragonfly on a Dog Chain at www.noojournal.com/blog.
T-Poe is a native of Portland, Oregon. He is a Combat Veteran of the Vietnam War, which has influenced his poetry greatly. Although he has no formal writing education, he has written extensively about the war as well as the wonders of nature and the condition of this animal "man" as he have experienced them. He knows only that which he has seen and felt, and hope you may, through his words, experience thoughts and emotions foreign and fascinating, if not familiar and comforting.

WORKS San Jose moving to SoFA!
It's official...just announced today, Tuesday, December 12, 2006, that WORKS San Jose will make their new home in downtown San Jose's SoFA district. Their move will bring back to life the former ICA location at 451 South First Street. If SoFA keeps up the momentum, the district's acronymn, which for years has translated to South First Area, may soon find new life as the South First Arts district!
Congratulations and welcome to the neighborhood!

Buddha Machine by FM3 has arrived!
The Buddha Machine is an "anti-iPod" of sorts. It's an inexpensive-looking small box that plays nine different drones (FM3 loops) through either the headphone jack, or the integrated speaker. A toggle switch allows the user to cycle through the short loops, which will play continuously for hundreds of hours on a single pair of AA batteries (included with purchase). And if the batteries do run out, the box even has a plug for DC power. The box is totally self-contained, and the onboard RAM cannot be modified (sounds like a challenge!). The box is available in six different colors (shipped randomly); it is manufactured by a Buddhist-run factory in southern China.
$23.00

KFJC's Psychotronix Film Festival this Saturday!
KFJC and friends present the Psychotronix Film Festival, an annual twisted cornucopia of 1950's commercials, classic (and usually really obscure) cartoons, trailers from schlocky B-pictures, kidvid, musical shorts, unintentionally funny instructional films and more. The gala feature is always a surprise, even to KFJC . . . but no doubt a veritable CITIZEN KANE of the "guys in stupid-looking monster suits" genre. The next 16mm film-filled extravaganza will soil the college's hallowed halls on Saturday, December 9th at 7:00p.m.
Proceeds benefit Foothill College's highly entertaining radio station, the aforementioned KFJC 89.7 FM. Mr. Emmett hosts the festivities - dispensing door prizes and witty repartee. Psychotronix Film Festivals take place in ROOM 5015 on the Foothill Campus.
Admission: $5 donation
Parking: $2 (bring quarters!)
