Tonight, get your fill of local music by not only going to the midnight show at Rubbish (see below) but by also stopping by the new bar/venue Rocket Room at 9PM for Calling All Cars, the Dirty Novels and solo music from my friend and yours Mike Stephens.

Tonight: I have absolutely no idea what’s going on tonight. I’m going to go see Ratatouille.
Tomorrow:
Newspeak presents the second Rubbish Midnight Caberet with Loverleigh and special guest Jeff Fuller. $5 cover/$5 bottomless beer until we run out. Will there be sweetness? Hells to the yeah.
And Sunday:
CC’s hosting both a festival artists concert and this event, which looks pretty neat:
The first Native American newspaper, the Cherokee Phoenix, was published from 1828 to 1834 in what is today northern Georgia. Newspaper articles were printed in English and in Cherokee using the Sequoyan syllabary. While the Phoenix is a prized asset to any library, scholarship describing the newspaper’s print shop is scarce. Frank Brannon’s research regarding the Phoenix explores three primary items used in printing the newspaper: the metal printing type, the press and the paper used in printing. Brannon will present his research on the Phoenix print shop and the Cherokee syllabary. A special focus of the talk will be a description of the limited edition monograph produced from the research, which was printed in traditional letterpress manner with handmade paper and bound in a style evocative of early 19th-century bindings west of the Appalachians. Visit Brannon’s Web site at www.speakeasypress.com. An exhibit of Brannon’s work will be in Tutt Library from June 25-July 13.

What? There was a bomb in London? The Spice Girls are reuniting? The staff of the Wall Street Journal staged a mass walkout in protest of Murdoch? Someone on Wikipedia posted about the Chris Benoit murders 14 hours before the bodies were found? Who cares? It’s iPhone Day! iPhone! iPhone! iPhone!
Not sure if the Cingular store across the street from our office will be carrying it, but I’m-a keep an eye on them. iPhone! iPhone! iPhone! All other phones are obsolete! iPhone!

Half Cairn Terrier and half … this obscure breed called, how you say? MUPPET! Or Caninis Hensonus.
We adopted him from our pet fostering, small doggie hording petsitter. He RULES, except for the not yet housebroken issue.

On June 29, 1930, Helen and Marie Smythe, my mother and aunt were born in the Bronx, New York.
Sixty-five years later it was Lara Elisabeth Walden’s turn!
Happy birthday to all my sweet girls!

I need to compile a list of solo/duo musicians and group/ensembles for the Pikes Peak Arts Council jury for consideration for the PPAC awards this year. Any help with future shows, websites, or just amazing musicians I should check out in the area would be most helpful.

Today the Indy outed the Gazette food writer, whose name is ALMOST an anagram of “Evil Had Lipps.”!!!! First name, we’re told, rhymes with “crave” and last name is a kind of screwdriver or a kind of petroleum. Isn’t that coy!
I spoke with Warren Epstein about it and even sent an email to Ralph Routon. In conclusion, the whole thing is just really boring and tedious. We heard this rumor months ago, verified and then decided the stakes were so low as to be beneath even our low standards of gossip. That said, here’s what should happen:
Warren Epstein or one of his editors should publicly apologize to all the Gazette readers who humiliated themselves for his stupid, fixed publicity stunt. Even if it wasn’t, hiding your writer’s identity makes it seem like it was. The process should’ve been transparent, Epstein should’ve told them there was an internal candidate in the pool and they should now pay their penance by making Evil Had Lipps use his real name and wear disguises, which would be proper justice since everyone had to wear those stupid Groucho noses.
The Independent, for its part, should apologize publicly for J. Adrian Stanley’s (yet another Gazette leftover now working at Gazette 2.0) piece of shit “news article” on the COPPeR Arts And Economic Prosperity Report. Stanley got her gumshoes stuck to a hunch that there was, hmmmmm, something fishy about arts and culture including zoos. She didn’t even bother to call Americans for the Arts, the national non-profit organization that conducted the survey to ask about their methods or standard statistical sampling. It’s lazy, unprofessional and the tone was almost vindictively mean (”the mood was jovial and victorious. People clapped furiously over stuffed chicken”). Kicking the arts community for a general economic impact study meant to boost the importance of the arts in the eyes of city leaders — way to go J. Adrian!
The Gazette and the Indy are worthy adversaries in their neverending quest for big $ mediocrity.
pffffffffffft

Could find anything online for John’s memorial so I thought I would post:
There will be a memorial for John Smith at All Souls Unitarian Church:
730 N Tejon St (719) 633-771 on Saturday, June 30th at 10am.
He was a helluva guy and a damn, fine actor, too! He will be missed. I had the pleasure of meeting him when I was helping Richard and Patricia put in Rico’s a few years ago and when he lived up the street from me in Manitou Springs.
More info at Poor Richards for the afternoon memorial in Guffey or e-mail manitouatheart@cs.com
Donations are being accepted to help alleviate the financial stress of his family’s transportion, funeral expenses and possible medical bills at Poor Richard’s Restaurant.
Rest in Peace, John.
