8600. alistairconnor - 7/23/2008 4:04:49 PM So, my friend Caroline (Princesses Peluches) is planning her US tour for October. The month preceding the election, to be precise.
The plan is to take her situationist/feminist/leftist street theatre on the campaign trail. Her husband is a press photographer, and should be able to get a press card. They need to plan to be in the right places at the right time... to catch the essence of the campaign, and to get close to Obama, if they can.
Who can explain how the campaign works over the final months? Are there any set pieces that can be planned for? They really need to decide on 3 or 4 places to go to. 8601. Ms. No - 7/23/2008 6:59:22 PM There's probably an itinerary of sorts at the Obama website, but I don't know how far out it will go or how specific it will be.
Seems to me that D.C. is a must-do, but after that I'm out of ideas unless she wants to stake out campaign headquarters or something. 8602. David Ehrenstein - 7/24/2008 12:35:05 AM NPH will be chatting online at the Washington Post tomorrow. SUBMIT YOUR QUESTIONS NOW! 8603. anomie - 8/6/2008 12:57:27 AM Ms No. Do you know of Imogen Heap? Another amazing talent I recently learned about. I'm wearing out here CD in the car, and she has some fascinating vids on Youtube.
8604. TheWizardOfWhimsy - 8/6/2008 1:51:01 AM Charming--utterly charming-TAA! 8605. wonkers2 - 8/6/2008 11:56:49 AM Nice! And The Cap'n sez, "And she's a looker, too!" 8606. wonkers2 - 8/13/2008 12:59:16 PM "Historia de Un Letrero" 8607. TheWizardOfWhimsy - 8/13/2008 2:56:15 PM 8608. wonkers2 - 8/13/2008 3:14:33 PM Thanks, wiz. I enjoyed the clever if treacly video. I've got to learn how to post images and videos instead of just links. I guess I'm too dumb to follow the Mote's HTML image instructions. 8609. TheWizardOfWhimsy - 8/13/2008 3:28:37 PM Compassion always trumps technology, wonk--thank YOU for sharing the beauty. 8610. anomie - 8/16/2008 5:03:03 AM Wonks, I had no idea how to post a youtube vid. I copied the youtube link and pasted it here, thinking it would show up as text, but lo and behold, the video box showed up - see above post # 8603. 8611. marjoribanks - 8/16/2008 10:18:08 AM Wonk,
Just go to the page with the youtube video you want to link, and cut out the HTML string that's in the box marked "embed".
Altered so I can post it, the string looks a lot like this:
TESTobject width="425" height="344"param name="movie" value="htt://www.youtube.com/v/k_QAPjtO2cA&hl=en&fs=1">
And it works like below, with this awesome Venezuelan-American-Indian mashup featuring the Bollywoodesque dance stylings of Ms. Natalie Portman.
8612. marjoribanks - 8/16/2008 10:31:18 AM I like the painting in that book cover, Wiz. So subtle, and rich. It's interesting (and oddly, the first time that I'm properly considering it) to think that this extremely painterly artist also makes blunt, brutal, totally (and effectively) in-your-face editorial images. 8613. wonkers2 - 8/16/2008 3:50:45 PM Thanks, 'banks, I'll give it a try when I have a bit more time. 8614. TheWizardOfWhimsy - 8/16/2008 3:55:41 PM Kind of you marj--thanks!
I've been dancing with a watercolor brush of late and trying to conjure up the solace of the Tuscan sun . . .
8615. wabbit - 8/16/2008 4:09:52 PM wow, those are beautiful! I love that cloudy day thing you do with the light. 8616. TheWizardOfWhimsy - 8/16/2008 4:10:47 PM Castello di Montarrenti
8617. TheWizardOfWhimsy - 8/16/2008 4:17:29 PM Thanks wabb--the water stains bring it all back somehow and it's like being in a trance. You can see the ridge behind the castle that shows where the watercolor's view was. 8618. wonkers2 - 8/17/2008 10:38:33 PM Beautiful water colors, Wiz. 8619. TheWizardOfWhimsy - 8/17/2008 11:57:01 PM Thanks wonk!
They seem to be painting themselves. They're just water stains on a piece of paper and so much fun to do when you don't take them seriously.
I remember reading somewhere a quote about artists. Something to the effect of: To be a painter at twenty is to be twenty; to be a painter at fifty is to be a painter.
