Los Angeles, CA – South La Brea Gallery is pleased to present “Dis/Connect,” an exhibition of video works curated by artist D. Jean Hester.

The exhibition will feature work from five video artist including Michele Jaquis, Wendy Mason, Julie Orser, Jeremy Quinn and Hester. “Dis/Connect” focuses on human interaction; the messy, incomprehensible, exhilarating, unpredictable, frustrating, and inspiring moments that happen between people. The exhibition stems from Hester’s fascination with how we create, sustain, and fail in our associations within society.

For Labor Day, we took a drive out to Zuma beach in Malibu to relax in the sand and fight the undertow – the exotic car count from our drive is as follows:
Ferrari – 7 (two were these)
Lamborghini – 2
Delorean – 1
Ford GT – 1
I have not been counting Bentleys, Maseratis, Alpha-Romeos, or Aston Martins. Sorry.
Much thanks to the basswood posse that came over Saturday and helped me build a whole batch of electrical towers – you guys rock.
Old friend Darren McManus dropped me a line today to give us a heads up about his new T-Shirt design, available through Imperfect Articles.
“This is a guaranteed protective, good-vibe gathering talisman for your (or anybody

On my way to pick up the Suicide Girls DVD [probably only the first page of that link is work-safe..], I discovered that one of the best albums ever has been re-released…
Time by ELO. I used to sit around my dads office room at our house (where the record player was) with my brother listening to it for hours.. all about time travel, the sometimes depressing electronic future, and falling in love with robots. Heavy on vocoder and synths, it is still one of my absolute favorites, and has been until now very hard to find (though I still have that original vinyl copy).

Our friend from back on the east coast, Gina, mysteriously materialized in our neighborhood coffee shop yesterday. We hadn’t seen her in 6 years or so. We kidnapped her for the day and took her to Sunset Junction – the east side LA street festival. We got to see Eagles of Death Metal, Suicide Girls (who showed us more than they are really allowed to, thank you very much SGs.), and CHAKA KAHN!!! (yes, we skipped the New York Dolls for that.)
Keep up the good work, Echo Park.
