Text of the page (random words):
an barely understand half of what they say there are snails and they get the raw end of the deal snails are crushed salted on sliced and murdered in a variety of manners there s shirley temple there s a man in black face who pierces his cheek with a syringe there are nude monkey women there s a physically disabled man on a giant clamshell how it all fits together is a stretch in general it sort of seems to be an upscale homage to the history of avant garde cinema bunuel kenneth anger david lynch on the other hand its kind of random and a bit offensive i ve always known that crispin likes to be odd and thats the thing i don t think he is odd and i don t think he s posing to be odd he just likes to be odd but i never really thought he liked to be offensive really and that is what was surprising about this thing his intent to offend he admitted that this film is pretty much just a f you to the studios though but unfortunately it kinda feels like an f you to the downs kids as well well after the movie he rambled about some aspects of its history and intent all interesting but also kind of expected and derivative don t get me wrong it was all i had hoped for and more but i find that crispen likes to lump himself into a collective of shock artists instead of truly setting himself aside as a singular voice he has assured us that this is the first in a trilogy of movies he s producing he states that he s proud of this one but the next is his passion and what he would like to be known for i had several questions for crispin but unfortunately the q a just dragged too long and i wasn t called on so i left missed the book signing and all so that seems to fill my weirdness quota for the next six months i think posted by lakeside at 11 17 am 1 comments thursday december 14 2006 keep the hope alive so its the season for giving right well if you really want to give something special please take a minute to read about young callum robbins son to j and janet robbins j has led the bands jawbox and burning airlines and also played for the now under rated gi back in the day he s a fixture of the dc culture and an indie rock icon but enough about him his son is very sick and needs every chance to fight it a donation site via paypal has been constructed drop a few dollars or several in the pail and make a real difference in the hope for a family of truely decent people sorry about the lack of entries in the last few months moving to eagle rawk has really been a full time endeavor i promise to write about the change in life as well as my crispin glover experience as soon as possible peas and happy holidays people posted by lakeside at 10 58 am 0 comments wednesday october 18 2006 froggers frogtown art walk date friday november 17th 2006 7 10 pm at some point during the 1960 s residents of the small community of elysian valley stepped outside to a veritable flood of frogs blanketing the streets and yards of the neighborhood legend has it that the polluted water of the neighboring los angeles river caused a decline in the natural predators of the native red legged frog the herons and the crayfish the resulting reptile explosion caused the frogs to overrun the banks of the river and to stray into the neighborhood this event gave the area its enduring nickname frogtown the construction of the 5 freeway effectively cut the area off from the surrounding communities of echo park and silverlake the re zoning of the lots between blake avenue and the river created an isolated pocket of industrial land that co existed for years with the single family residences across the street many of the warehouses and factories are now being occupied by a range of designers artists and artisans who find that the lively streets and nearby river make for a provocative work environment we are pleased to announce the first frogtown art walk a celebration of the creativity and the diverse talents of the residents and businesses occupying the industrial buildings of elysian valley frogtown the frogtown art walk is a self guided tour of the various studios and business venues located along blake avenue in elysian valley the tour will include the li l frogtown gallery of frank and sharon romero a recently re purposed plaster factory now occupied by a series of artists a stop at lovecraft biofuels for a demonstration of their bio diesel conversion

factory as part of a small live work complex along the la river a portion of the office functions as a part time art gallery during the art walk we will feature work by noted artist andrew west http www cadmiumgreen com andrew west has spent the last twenty years in an effort to push the boundaries of painting he has hung paintings on trees let them crawl around the floor created site specific works outside of gallery spaces collaborated with other painters and embarked on an infinite series of paintings he works with subjects most overlook the neglected the microscopic the unpopular his style has become increasingly improvisational over time allowing the process of painting to strip the objects he works with of identity and function and transform them into something more the task of naming these paintings places them into an art historical context establishing a new narrative potential recently west has turned his attention to the topic of robots an old interest of his though his connection to the subject comes from mid twentieth century writers such as asimov and simak and science fiction films like alphaville and bladerunner his imagery is not drawn from the fantasy worlds of western comics and japanese manga instead he is focusing on the often unassuming and non anthropomorphic robots found in actual industrial and scientific environments using such objects to build
