september 23

Because nothing says "first day of autumn" better than cramming some gourds and mini-pumpkins into the dirt in front of your store.

Aquarium was impressive.

new story posted: juana molina

Just posted a new story on Juana Molina.

Brilliant musician from Argentina. Unlike anything you've seen or heard.

She'll be performing at Lincoln Center Out of Doors, July 28. 7 pm.

Read her story and then head to the show. It's free!

Hope all is well, {Gregory}

Saw Juana Molina perform at Stuy Town Oval last week. The weather, the crowd, the performance. All great.

philadelphia comic con

First experience at a comic con this weekend.

Have to say I was out of my element. Somewhat overwhelmed by the weirdness; e.g., at one point the Red Hulk (didn't know there was a red one) walked up next to me and yelled in my ear for some reason.

But it seems like they all put lots of work into their costumes.

Yes, Jesse Kerr!

He'll be part of a two-person art show at Project:X Gallery in San Diego. His work is simultaneously technical and natural. Shouldn't be missed.

Opening reception Saturday, May 29.

ariwara no narihira

This is not the moon,
Nor is this the spring
Of other springs,
And I alone
Am still the same.

new cd: havana carbo

The ever-sweet, ever-gracious Havana Carbo just sent me a copy of her new CD, Phantoms of Love.

Her voice is as enchanting as ever.

Visit her website here.
Read more about Havana here.

And check out the list of musicians she gathered on this CD. Very impressive.

tsurayuki

Out in the marsh reeds
A bird cries out in sorrow,
As though it had recalled
Something better forgotten.
