Giraffe Catcher Poetry
February 3, 2010 | by Contribution | Comment
On the night
of a Bowl
that is Super,
there will be
5 people of poetry,
in a station,
on the
UCSD Campus,
reading poetry;
on the radio-
for a crowd,
so come one,
come all,
bring a friend-
dress nice
and be American-listen to poetry.

Giraffe Catcher Poetry is all about using the inernets to bring people “together to read, write, walk, happen, perform.” We can get behind that. They host a bi-weekly radio show Sundays at 5:00 pm at ksdt.ucsd.edu…also check out Giraffe Catcher Poetry on Facebook. (submitted by Jared Muscat, Photo Misha Johnson)

Our East Coast friends are at it again. Leah Goren & Diwa Tamrong (founders of LVEO) were asked to curate the December edition of Pilfered Maganizne’s, The Annex. “Founded on the spirit of web democracy, and built to aid in communicating ideas and concepts,” Pilfered is an online publication that encourages “artists, photographers, designers, and the inspired” to share striking visuals they’ve pilfered from the web. The issue is available for download here. Please view it and spread the good word.
Art & Stuff: Swill Children

Because of our insatiable appetite for watching young people kick-ass, I felt I needed to share with you some news from our friends in New York City: The press release for ‘Swill Children’ just came knocking on my door (actually it came via email) – it’s a new label that acts as an umbrella for a variety of physical and digital objects to reside. It’s awesome to see some of the initial releases from artists such as LA’s Lucky Dragons, San Diego’s own David Potes (Hamburger Eyes), and our friend Diwa Tamrong. Her printed project Somebody Else’s Problem is featured. Keep an eye on Swill Children and read more at http://www.swillchildren.org/
Cool Cat: Nick Rodrigues

I just stumbled on Nick Rodrigues’ portfolio site and was blown away by his ‘Human Interaction’ pieces. Absolutely hilarious and perfectly critical on the vices of our culture. I don’t know much about Nick except I like the way he thinks and I want to be his friend. The ‘Porta-Party,’ The ‘AdverTie‘ and ‘Auto Armor‘ are among my favorite. “In observing the shifting patterns of current social behavior, I have noticed that each human’s insecurities are often highlighted by the products that they embrace.” See for your self at http://www.nickrodrigues.com/
