Halloween in NYC

Halloween is awesome in this city. The streets are teeming with all
sorts of dead things.

Graffiti in toilet at The Library, Lower East Side, New York

Monotonix in NYC


These guys were amazing to watch. Pure performance art, forget the music. The drummer looks like Borat. The singer bares his ass. The guitarist rocks. In the movie above, the singer is pounding the drummer with a garbage can. This band plays on the audience floor and moves the drum kit around through the audience as they play. They also spill massive quantities of beer on each other. The picture where they're up on the bar was just before the sound engineers cut their sound off and cut their set short, probably for fear they were going to trash the bar.
This band believes in a one-state (or two-state) solution and full rights of return for all refugees to their pre-1948 homes.

"Great" T-shirt designs at a Gas Station in BF, Pennsylvania

There was another one that said ROCK ON in big letters, but upon
closer examination revealed "Jesus is the ROCK ON which I stand". Lame
perversion of an anti-conformist slogan.

Pennsylvania Drive Movie

Surreal clouds.

American Parties

I forgot and was reminded tonight that in America, parties are all
about drinking. Drinking A LOT. And here to demonstrate one way of
drinking are these dudes, helping one dude do a keg stand. That means
you get flipped upside down and have to drink in that position from
the pressurized tap of a beer keg. Wonder Drain Bamage ensues.

Maysoon Zayid at Yale

This palestinian-american girl is a great comedian, although she
starred in that shitty film You Don't Mess with the Zohan. Good stuff.

Rothko Exhibit, Tate Modern, London

No photography allowed, took this on the fly. This painting makes me
think of doors, doors of perception perhaps.
