Canzine today and John Oswald talk

Canzine was fun today! It was packed! And, hot! I met some cool new people and got to catch up on my favourite zine Ghostpine! It’s a real work of art in my opinion. I’ve been reading it for years and got to meet Jeff Miller, the author of Ghostpine today and get a bunch of back issues! I got to hang out with Liz Worth as well (see our video blog from Canzine, coming soon). And, I sold one copy of my chapbook “Like Eden After Rain”…better luck next time, I suppose. Though, the last time I had a table at a show I also sold one copy…hmm…

Also, I caught the John Oswald (of plunderphonics infamy) talk at OCAD this afternoon. Great stuff!

Check back soon for some video that I shot of both events. Oh, and Halloween is one week away!

Here is a video I shot from Nuit Blanche 2010 – part 1 of 2. This was my favourite venue of the night in Liberty Village and these two installations. The cafe was even open all night long! It was very nice to be able to get a decent coffee at 5 AM to warm up – though the flame throwers did cast a little heat, and the DJ and dancers kept us moving!

SEX GODDESESS A NO SHOW ON 13 XDAY! BOB PROMISES NEXT YEAR WILL BE THE YEAR OF XDAY! PRAISE BOB!

Hello Reader,

This past weekend, mutants and SubGenii came from far and wide, gathered together and awaited XDAY – THE DAY THE WORLD ENDS AND THE UFOS COME TO SAVE US!

Every XDAY from 1 XDAY to 12 XDAY has been a total letdown, as the world is still here and every SubGenius is not aboard Nirvana-filled pleasure UFO saucers, filled with SEX GODDESSES and everything else you could ever want, dream of, or imagine.

Why would anyone have hope that 13 XDAY would be any different and we wouldn’t be let down again? Because Bob said so, that’s why.

13 XDAY or XIII XDAY was on July 5th, 2010 and guess what? What happened?

NOTHING!! The world is still here and no UFO saviors, as Bob promised!! No SEX GODDESSES!!! WTF?

But, rejoice! Ye, the workings of Bob are strange and mysterious! There is no need for upset! Bob is a fickle one, and X-DAY will come to pass one…XDAY soon. As the living avatar of slack, can we expect anything less from Bob?

The Church of the SubGenius spreads the word of Bob across the globe like oil from an underwater Volcano: thick, gooey and hot!

I’ll be keeping my eyes on the skies until next XDAY!

 


PRAISE BOB!

FIFA "ambush marketing" stunt gets women arrested

Posted on by

I got a smile when I saw this picture and news story.

36 Dutch women dressed in orange mini-dresses attended the FIFA Netherlands-Denmark game in Johannesburg and caused quite a stir. That’s a pretty novel idea and very easy on the eyes, so what’s the issue? It seems they were part of a marketing campaign for a Dutch beer company  – Bavaria. This “free” form of marketing that has been dubbed “ambush marketing.”  The two organizers of the stunt were arrested.

But, the last thing that comes to my mind is having anyone arrested! It’s a strange world at times…! See the videos below. Fun!
