			<content:encoded><![CDATA[	<p>There is the premise that if you have to explain a performance art piece it loses its value.  However, much like an old movie with a clever twist, if you haven&#8217;t seen it by now you can&#8217;t blame someone else for telling you that Bruce Willis&#8217;s character is a ghost &#8212; enough time has passed that it is <em>your</em> fault for not seeing the movie.  On the innernets  time passes very quickly, and if you haven&#8217;t heard about <a href="http://www.google.com/search?q=paige+railstone">Paige Railstone</a> by now then you&#8217;ve missed most of the piece the <a href="http://nerdfighters.ning.com/page/frequently-asked-questions">Nerdfighters</a> (propelled by author John Green) have been performing for about a week now.</p>

	<p>Here&#8217;s a spoiler video about this collective-hive-mind internet performance piece that sort of blows me away&#8230;now that I understand it.  Initially I have to admit I was annoyed and didn&#8217;t truly understand, but that happens a lot in my relationship with art.</p>

	<p>I&#8217;m not sure if Koch is right, but it makes me think.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[	<p>The Guggenheim is currently exhibiting a collection showing the work of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cai_Guo-Qiang">Cai Guo-Qiang</a>, a Chinese contemporary artist.  It was a stunning exhibit and in the center of the museum was a new piece about the prevalence of car bombs in our society and as a reaction to 9/11.  Breaking the first rule of the museum I slipped my camera out and took these videos.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[	<p>SBCG4AP is rumored to be headed for a small home in Portland, Maine.  The owner of the home, Kevin Photiades (52), had this to say &#8220;No, TVs and Wiis have no place in my home.&#8221;  Despite the utter super badness of Strongbad in his own video game Photiades denies any desire to purchase a Nintendo Wii this summer.  He continued, &#8220;I don&#8217;t care about the awesomeness of <a href="http://wii.ign.com/objects/142/14236672.html">Strongbad and his bleeding edge Mode 8 graphics</a>.  I will not expose my son to that ridiculous filth.&#8221;  Nintendo&#8217;s plans to forge new ground by releasing a video game from the very popular but strange hipster webcomic only through online distribution falls on deaf ears at the Photiades household.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[	<p>Yeah, I&#8217;m one of <a href="http://austinist.com/2008/03/07/box_and_horn_gr.php"><em>those Austinites</em></a> who came here <strong><sub>¡</sub></strong> all the way back in 1992 <strong><sub>¡</sub></strong> and I was sick of &#8220;SouthBy&#8221; before it even started last week.  You wouldn&#8217;t believe how many skinny boys in pencil jeans with 80&#8217;s hairdos were wandering around downtown yesterday evening looking <em>so</em> much cooler than me.  Still, if you are doing <em>that</em> kind of thing this weekend I am obliged to recommend some shows that friends are involved in that are noteworthy.</p>

	<p>The kid who taught me how to beat<sup class="footnote"><a href="#fn18028201744f364a8285117">1</a></sup> <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mike_Tyson%27s_Punch-Out%21%21">Mike Tyson&#8217;s Punch-Out</a>  is all grown up and playing &#8220;four-string guitar&#8221; for <a href="http://www.myspace.com/christopherdenny">Chris Denny</a> who is in the Billboard showcase tonight.  Denny is, also, on the new cover of Billboard magazine which some might say is a pretty big deal.  If you go to the showcase, throw your panties or boxers at <a href="http://sync.arkansasonline.com/photos/galleries/2008/feb/23/white-water-tavern/9514/">this guy</a> on the right.</p>

	<p><a href='http://www.rollerfeet.com/backporchbeer/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/img_8954_t600.JPG' title='chris denny and chris atwood'><img src='http://www.rollerfeet.com/backporchbeer/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/img_8954_t600.thumbnail.JPG' alt='chris denny and chris atwood' /></a></p>

	<p>Wednesday night I attended a screening hosted by <a href="http://www.myspace.com/chickenranch">Chicken Ranch Records</a> &#8212; run by my college radio buddy, Mike Dickinson &#8212; of J.D. Wilkes&#8217;s premiere film <a href="http://www.jdwilkes.com/films.html">Seven Signs</a>.  It&#8217;s a top notch indie doc that is a perfect parallel to the eclectic kind of neo-anything-revival bands that Mike likes to sign.  His regular showcases have already happened, but you can still catch his day party at Bull McCabes tomorrow from 1-5pm.</p>

	<p id="fn18028201744f364a8285117" class="footnote"><sup>1</sup>  This lesson on the original 8-bit <span class="caps">NES</span> set the stage for learning patterns in a way that I previously had never seen/grasped in video games.  If not for the young Chris Atwood, I would never have completed future Zelda, Mario and other games&#8230;much to my wife&#8217;s chagrin.</p>]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[	<p>Yes, another freaking 48 Hour Film competition.  This time it&#8217;s the annual <a href="http://beta.filmmakingfrenzy.com/SITES/FILMFRENZY_BETA/ViewFrenzy.aspx?FrenzyId=7">BPM</a>, wherein teams attempt to make a music video in 48 hours.  Please, sign up at the Filmmaking Frenzy site and rate the videos.  If you happen to <strong>really</strong> like the &#8220;Move to the Music&#8221; video from Rollerfeet.com&#8230;well then I think you&#8217;d be a worthy music video critic.  Support the crazy antics of wanna-be filmmakers around the globe as it should either provide entertainment, or give you the feeling of being superior to people with too much time on their hands.</p>

	<p>It&#8217;s only been a couple weeks since we finished our last competition, so we felt that there was too little <del>equanimity</del> time to attack another frenzy.  So, I pulled an idea out of my little black book &#8212; mine is used to keep kooky movie ideas in &#8212; and &#8216;Topher and I attacked and devoured it in about 8 hours.  Next time you&#8217;ll see another full production &#8212; well, as full as 48 hours allows &#8212; and we&#8217;re looking to recruit some new talent to chip in so be prepared for more awesomeness.</p>]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[	<p>Growing up in B/CS, TX my family would often hang out with a few other families whose parents all taught at the local university. I haven&#8217;t really kept in touch with anyone, but have vaguely kept an eye on the <a href="http://www.zellnerbros.com/">set of brothers who happen to make films</a> here in Austin. Their new movie, Goliath, is playing at Sundance and is getting some national press. From the trailer, David Zellner plays a working man&#8217;s William H. Macy, who is having a break down over the loss of his cat. The trailer has convinced John that we should be making full length films, and it&#8217;s convinced me that I should keep better track of childhood acquaintances in case they get all famous.</p>
