The Answer
I had great seats curtsy of my brother ( row 2 seat 7). It sucked to see the Warriors lose, but it was awesome to see the Answer in person!
The suspect is described as an Asian male in his early 20s with a thin build…
Not to be rude but, I love the description of the suspect—it basically describes every young Asian male in San Francisco.
If you see an Asian brother in an Integra or Civic, be sure to call SFPD!

Deth Sun at Gallery 1988
Oakland based artist Deth Sun has a show at Gallery 1988 in LA. If you haven’t seen his shit, check it out here.
From his site:
“I’m from California. I grew up all over Southern California, and graduated high school in San Diego. I lived in the Bay Area for 7 years, and I spent most of that time in Oakland, where I received my BFA from the California College of Arts and Crafts in Painting and Drawing in 2002. I got a lot of scholarships but still ended up with a lot debt.
I paint, draw, and sometimes illustrate for other people (mostly giving permission for drawings for t-shirts, covers, ect). I should seek out more of those jobs, but I don’t really know if I like them.
I don’t have any career objectives and I don’t really know what I want to do with my work. I think it’s cause I’m 26. I want to make honest work. I think about this a lot.
For now, till hopefully February, I live in Los Angeles, California, where I sit in my house with two cats, painting, and missing my friends.”
Parasite Art
It looks like some sinister terrorist plot, but is actually a harmless art project.
“”...Parasite is a projection-system that can be attached to subways and other trains. Using the speed of the vehicle as parameter for the projected content, the projection starts with the train moving inside a tunnel.All along their journey, travellers see images mysteriously appearing through the train windows: words, aquatic animals, etc. Confusing the routine of your train-travelling-journey, your habits and perception Parallel allows you a glimpse into a different world full of surrealist imagery….” Via Wooster Collective via We make money not art.
Killer 7
Japanese anime killer video terrordome style. Go get it.
From IGN:
“Capcom’s Killer 7 is one of the most stylized games to hit consoles in years. The surrealistic psychological adventure takes players on a journey through psychedelic cel-shaded worlds drenched in adult themes, from blood-splattering gore to in-game sex. Gamers must become the seven deadly personalities of Harmon Smith, a wheelchair bound assassin and schizophrenic, in order to fight off a terrorist organization of exploding zombie-like beings. Clearly this is not a game for the younger market.
With a never-before-attempted mergence of style and function – Killer 7 blends third-person exploration, first-person shooting and puzzle solving, but emphasizes story-telling above all else – Capcom’s game is just as much about mood as anything else. Aiding that goal is a unique and highly unpredictable soundtrack that matches the twisting, turning storyline.”

If you wanna be cool you gotta have break dancers at your party. Too bad the last time breaking was in was in the 80s. Anyway, checkout these younstas—artists, fashionistas, etc.
“Through Jen’s words: “We are a collective of artists with a common interest to entertain and inspire through an open, creative environment.” Five bucks to get in each night that went for spirits. Which was what it took to preview the fine works at open end. The artists keep all the money for sales I I got pictures of it all!” [Their site sucks]
