This is a picture of a Magnetic Termite nest. I just found out about them. They face magnetic north exactly to get optimal heat from the sun on the south side. They also look like tombstones or menhirs , those megalithic stones often found in the UK.

Thank You is playing at H&H April 20th.
It's the CD release!!

A DC chum of mine has his paintings in it. Mayhaps we could go.

Okay here is my idea for a cool fun project, these horribly photoshopped images do nothing to convince you as to what a great idea this is. I did these is 20 mins just to get the idea out of my head. I am thinking of proposing it to some places to see if there can be some cash monies to pay for the flowers/maintenance. whatchall think? Any advice/help/etc. is always good!

I'm in this.

Electronic Arts Intermix in NYC

Hey ladies,
I thought of another cool thing to do in NYC. Let me preface by saying that I don't want to plan toooo much but thought it's worth putting more options on the table.
I was online just now and came across Electronic Arts Intermix in NYC. you can rent and bye videos but they are expensive. I would love to screen a couple sometime here in b-more but the other option is viewing them in NYC. It's free and all you have to do is make an appointment 2-3 weeks before. It's about 2 weeks now before we go and I could call this week to see if it's a possiblity. I'm interested in seeing some Nancy Holt and Ant Farms inflatable architecture video. view artist and titles at:
