HAPPY HALLOWEEN!





This time of year always reminds me of the book 'Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark' and the horrifying art in them. When i was a lot younger my older cousins would always read me these stories and scare the hell out of me.

"Come on people... there is no way you could convince me that this collection of books didn't scare the living shit out of you as a child. Pondering the days of my own self-shitting I wonder if the publishers had any idea of the impact these books would have on kids. To this day they are still printed in mass quantity and sell like hot cakes around the globe.
Many would agree that this book in particular started their fascination and addiction to the horror genre. If you look at these short stories more closely, you see they are basically mini-scripts and with the imagery of Stephen Gammell they send the stories to a frightfully personal level. Considering most of these stories have been passed down for centuries, I don't believe there would have been any other pair of men who could have collected and twisted these stories into this excellent compilation.
Some highlights include a young man withering away after peering into a mysterious man's face, a preacher who dares to spend a night in a local haunted house only to be awakened by a mysterious woman, and a woman carrying her own severed head in a wicker basket for safe keeping."

Griffith Observatory Planitarium


I highly recommend to anyone that lives in the L.A. area to go to the planitarium show at the Griffith Park Observatory. It's only 35 minutes long but it'll be the best half an hour you spend seven bucks on. The show includes an incredible 360 degree dome ceiling-screen projection of space, narrated by this guy who sounds like he could be in a movie trailer commercial. I don't think I've ever felt so small and insignificant after seeing this show because it paints the universe as such a vast and mysterious place.

W.


So after seeing this movie, I came to a few conclusions..
1. I can't believe we elected the president we STILL have in office today.
2. Thandie Newton's portayel of Condoleezza Rice was downright scary/hilarious.
3. Republicans like to talk while chewing.
Here's some quotes from the movie that pretty much sum up how incredibly intelligent our President George W. Bush is :

George W. Bush: Yes, Ms. China?
Asian Journalist: Mr. President, what place do you think you will have in history?
George W. Bush: History? In history we'll all be dead!


Dick Cheney: [talking about torture methods] They utilize fear scenarios.
George W. Bush: You mean like pulling out their toenails?

George W. Bush: Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice well....um... I-I-I can't get fooled

(((folkYEAH!)))



After seeing a post for an upcoming Folk Yeah Presents show that includes 3 bands that i already love, I came across an artist i have not heard before, Rodriguez.  His 'Cold Fact' LP  is a spectacular album and has quickly become a frequent sound coming from the speakers in my room.

Anyways, this is supposedly his first show ever in California and along with the 3 other bands playing with him (The Entrance Band, Sleepy Sun, and The Matt Baldwin Electric Band) this is a show not to be missed!

Tickets went on sale today.
