Industrial Revolution: Barrio Logan
August 30, 2010 | by Dylan | Comment
OK kiddies, lace up your boots. This Saturday, September 4th, is a big night in Barrio Logan. Our friends at Set & Drift have invited us all (that’s you too) to the opening reception of Current at The Bakery in Barrio Logan. The show will be featuring Mercantile, a pop-up-shop showcasing hand crafted goods from 9 American designers as well as an amazing knitted lighting installation by Kwangho Lee.
As if this wasn’t enough, around the corner, Glasshaus is opening its doors for Device Gallery’s Creatures of Industry reception featuring the works of Greg Brotherton, Nemo Gould, Jeremy Mayer and Guillermo Rigattieri.
…There’s more, believe it. Across the street from The Bakery, the opening reception for the group photography show Keeping Time will be going off at Voz Alta. Allright, I’m tired of typing.

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)
RECAP: Buy Nothing Day 2009
November 29, 2009 | by Dylan | 2 Comments
We held the first ever Kensington Park Neighborhood Exchange on Friday in celebration of Buy Nothing Day 2009 – Basically it was a small scale swap meet where everyone & anyone was invited to bring things with value to trade for other things of value – We traded with food, tools, clothes and music and most importantly not with money. Now with all due respect, I must apologize because it was thrown together a bit last minute but I was really excited by the turn out. It was a blast and we got to hang out with some new friends. It was such a nice day to relax outside in the park – Keegan cooked some killer potatoes and we got a little frisbee in too. My vote for the best trade of the day is tied between, Kevin trading the Ken Cinema a Jeff Buckley CD for a tray of popcorn and the three-way trade that involved an IggyPop record, Hard Ticket to Hawaii VHS, and a Budweiser track jacket.
