In a brave and brilliant Yes Men-esque performance over the weekend, ‘Robert Erickson’ gives an impassioned speech at an anti-immigration rally outside the Minnesota State Capitol.
Big Mike’s Eats gives you a killer recipe for pie…in a punkin. No shit.
I splurged and bought these boots today. My day job is officially hell and getting hotter by the minute. I thought red boots seemed an appropriate choice for the impending apocalypse.
Wearing a vest decorated with a ribcage and flexing his biceps, Diallo rapped about being the best, as rappers are wont to do, but then paired it with lyrics like “Al salaam-aleikum/I don’t eat bacon/I am not Jamaican.” As if that was not ludicrous enough, the hype act became downright derogatory as Diallo and KiDTRONiK pulled women up onto the stage to perform their single “Big Girl Skinny Girl.” For an audience who came to see Williams — an artist whose book of poetry S/HE was a fragile, fierce and honest exploration of the relationship between him and the mother of his daughter, who refers to the powers he sees in the universe as “goddess” and promotes art as a vessel for independence and liberation — having some stereotypically objectifying bullshit club grind open up for him was downright insulting.
Carl Atiya Swanson hits the corporate nail on the head with his review of the Saul Williams/Afropunk show at the Varsity last Sunday. Talk about the most amazing/disappointing show of the year. Local acts Dearling Physique and No Bird Sing tore it up and gave the audience inspiring, energetic, thoughtful performances…wish I could say the same about Saul Williams and his touring companions.
Cancel your Sunday plans and meet me at the Varsity. Saul Williams.
Me too, dude. Me too.
I wish my girlfriend was this dirty (via jakedobkin)
Under a flashlight, two Ninja(s) throwing star(s) can be seen on the backside of the licenses. Only two states use this unique feature: Wisconsin and Oklahoma.
a little ditty I found during the state identification portion of my alcohol awareness training on servingalcohol.com…once again, WI ftw.
CORRECTION: After further examination, I noticed yr humble blogger misread the passage. It should read: ‘two Ninja throwing stars’…not ‘two ninjas throwing stars’. Because I guess that would be too awesome for a state-issued ID. My day seriously sucks now…canceling sudden plans to move to Oklahoma.
Thank goodness this sign is sold in their gift shop cuz like that was one of the first things I was wondering. I was all, “Where do I get one?”
