Gypsy Time
Passed on from a dear friend of mine who loves all things gypsy music, I present Emir Kusturica & The No Smoking Orchestra. They come from Sarajevo. This video for "Unza Unza Time" is a little bit Bunuel, a little bit punk and all gypsy - embracing love, death and life all at once. I don't know what Unza Unza Time means but it makes me wanna get up on a chair and holler and dance.

Trippin
The posts have been sparse because summer's got the best of me. Romance is all around and I keep skipping town. A year ago this little blog got started because I fell in like with LA in the summertime. Those of us in the know know there are those who "Heart NY" but we "Like LA".
Kate Neckel has been mentioned on a few design blogs. She's made a wonderfully unique quilt out of old skateboard decks. She also makes these daily drawings that make me wanna quit my job and go join the coffee house sketch artists. Then I remember I don't have the patience.
This one especially caught my eye. She says it's from a series done in Paris. I think it looks like the perfect alternative to a travel log. If not a drawing for each day, each little sketch could represent a favorite moment form one's travels. Here's a link to the larger image.
Maybe I'll get motivated and go to Casbah some warm Summer evening to sketch my recent escape to La Fonda, BC.

More stuff...
More stuff soon to come from this year's Comic Con. Now that I've been de-virginized, I'm still a little overwhelmed, my feet are still a little sore, but thankful to have been a part of it all. Through the seas of Storm Troopers and children the biggest deal this year at San Diego's Annual International Comic Con was these giant promotional bags from Warner Bros. I guess a couple hundred were given out each day. They held everyone's stuff and they blocked traffic at every crosswalk. By day 3 this crafty lady made her perfect ode to the Con:

Blog Crush
Just today I discovered a new favorite blog: REFERENCE LIBRARY aka Andy's Blog. Andy likes to do what I like to do. We both scour the Internet for interesting vintage items, covet antique school furniture and modern toys, and get outbid on eBay all the time. Andy doesn't provide a lot of explanation but I'm still just as inspired by all this cool stuff as I would if each item was written up in some glossy magazine.
Next party I throw it would be fun to take all my yarn remnants and make a sign like this. Plus this little work of art proudly displays one of my many nicknames. [from mermermer.com]
These unique neon lights seen here in a high school science lab are for sale on eBay for $750.
Sick of designer jeans? Make your own, little cowpoke! [from eBay]
Along with "eBay Items I Didn't Win", Andy dedicates a category to "The Quality". From The Timeless Way of Building he quotes architect Christopher Alexander: There is a central quality which is the root criterion of life and spirit in a man, a town, a building, or a wilderness. This quality is objective and precise, but it cannot be named." Some words attempt to describe The Quality but fail to truly capture what it is. These are: alive, whole, comfortable, free, exact, egoless, eternal." This 1930s Letterman jacket found on eBay is The Quality.

Thank God
Thank God I wasn't the only one who didn't know what THE ALGORITHM was.
Atempt at a clever ad campaign, I did recognize. But that it's actually an ad for a new internet search engine? Only the AskJeeves reference threw me and the readers of Metroblogging LA in the right direction.
The CEO of Ask.com explains his new search-engine baby: "The Ask.com algorithm’s relevance methodology goes beyond the popularity focus of Google, Yahoo and MSN’s, and is the only one to break the Web down into topic clusters and determine community-based relevance in real time.” [source: searchenginewatch.com]
Next thing we'll be seeing is THE ALGORITHM WAS HERE billboards. Any other guesses to what the next ones will be?
THE ALGORITHM ATE MY BABY
THE ALGORITHM IS MY HOMBOY (I stole that one).
THE ALGORITHM SHOULD FIND A NEW AD AGENCY (from valleywag.com)
I'm not really a fan of this new type of faux-guerilla advertising, and I guess THE ALGORITHM doesn't even qualify to be in that category. They've got as much cleverness as the inside of SOBE tops.

A letter to You
To my loyal pudgy readers:
I'm so sorry. My day job has consumed my time and energy. No postings for a week! I'm more disgruntled than any of you are, I know. But just felt like an apology was in order. No word on the apartment contest yet. But I'm checking apartment therapy every other minute. There's been some inspiring (and intimidating) entries so far. Much better than that finale of Bravo's Top Design, but I digress.
Night Hawks is upon us once more!!! The theme is "Over The Edge" inspired by the 1979 cult favorite film of the same name. Prepare for a late night of beautiful music, dancers, bizarre performances, all with a bitter edge of surburban dissillusion. Cupcakes and comics will be on sale again courtesy of Matt Melis (Isolated Instances of Non-Gravity). The proceeds are all going to charity (Cystic Fibrosis Walk For A Cure) so gobble 'em up with your libations. Yum.
This Monday 4/16 10pm $10.
And speaking of the Bootleg Theater (Night Hawks' home away from home) they're opening quite a show this weekend. Who Killed Bob Marley? by Roger Guenveur Smith is performance set to an original film about an enlightening trip to Jamaica. Previews tonight thru Friday 4/13. Opening night Saturday 4/14 8:00pm $20.
Any other plans as the weather gets warmer and the winds get creepier? Please share. No bogarting allowed.

Gentrification Strikes Again
Source: LosAnjealous.com
...This time at the Arclight parking garage. This pic was snapped by a blogger's cell phone. Gentrification strikes again. Why? To make room for a curbside latte and caviar stand, of course.

Re-animated Pulp Fiction
If you find yourself searching the related links on YouTube, then you've become aware of phenomenons of similar subjects presented by different video artists from around the globe - As if an impromptu assignment pops up and a mess of people join in. I kept myself entertained today by exploring the phenomenon of Pulp Fiction inspired cartoons. It seems that just as Travis Bickle's "You talking to me?" entered the over-quoted movie lexicon, our generation is hawking the infamous dialogue of Jules & Vincent. Here were my favorites out of the scores of short videos out there.
A Typography project to inspire us all interested in graphic design and animation. By Jarrat Moody, a student at the Savannah College of Art & Design.
This simple cartoon comes from a digital artist in Israel. I especially like how the animation doesn't distract from the sharp rhythm of the dialogue. It also ends up with a kind of anti Burger King commercial at the end.
Short video of homemade figures submitted for a contest by YouTube user Jonnynnoj, 21 years old. I especially like how he captured the exact camera angle and background detail in this unforgettable moment with Harvey Keitel as "The Wolf".

Exclusive Night Hawks Interview
The other day Miss Danielle Holland, the visionary of Night Hawks as well as my co-producer, sat down at her laptop. I sat down at my prospective laptop and we had a little iChat. These are the transcripts:
pg5000:* Hi danielle, this is meredith from pudgy-girl.com in los angeles.
DlishMaxiMus: hi meredith.
DlishMaxiMus: where do you live in los angeles?
pg5000: i live in silver lake.
DlishMaxiMus: oh, really? so do i! i live right by the saturday farmers market
pg5000: same here.
DlishMaxiMus: maybe we'll run into each other sometime! we can go get some baby bok choy together. leeks are good too - we could make soup. that reminds me of that song - chop suey! chop suey!
pg5000: sure...i like soup...
DlishMaxiMus: seems i dont know the rest of the words...
pg5000: so. we are REALLY excited about our upcoming special event : Night Hawks.
DlishMaxiMus: oh so am i! i can't wait. i think i have been inspired by birds my whole life.
pg5000: how so?
DlishMaxiMus: well not really, actually not at all, but did you know that night hawks are very sociable birds?
pg5000: I didn't actually.
DlishMaxiMus: they call out to one another in what experts call "speek-speek." This is a language that I myself cannot speak, but have been looking up classes for at the local community colleges. I haven't found any yet, which just proves my point that educational funding is lacking at best. education = tragic @ pointblank. i blame this on the priorities this administration has placed for the country.
DlishMaxiMus: night hawks however, doesnt really have anything to do with birds.
pg5000: could you explain what Night Hawks does have to do with?
DlishMaxiMus: well i could say that its about social experimentation, bridging of communities, collaboration and space for emerging artists, a venue for underheard voices, an invitation to create new paradigms, a creative explosion. but really that is all a cover up for the real purpose.
pg5000: that being?
DlishMaxiMus: oh, just to throw a cool party where hot guys will show up and want to make out with me.
pg5000: That's why I usually do art and throw parties!
pg5000: so, are you originally from la?
DlishMaxiMus: i was born in sin city (Vegas) and i believe thats where my constant seeking out and artistic devotion to vice comes from.
pg5000: Do you go back there often?
DlishMaxiMus: well, its only about 4 hours away by car from here, so whenever i am really broke and want my parents to buy me a meal and to do some laundry i can pop on down. well, thats not true actually. with gas prices being what they are i might as well have been from brazil, i mean, right?
pg5000: Right....
pg5000: What advice would you give to a new producer in los angeles?
DlishMaxiMus: be true to yourself. don't lose sight of your passion and your why.
DlishMaxiMus: allow your mission to grow and develop. dont fear change. get good help. never exploit and always respect.
then you will be respected yourself.
DlishMaxiMus: truth goes a lot further than saying what it is that you think people want to hear. which you will never know anyways. unless you turn into that mel gibson character in that crappy movie he did. but even then, he could only read womens minds. and i am sure that movie was written by men. but he hates on jews so why would you want to be like him anyways?
pg5000: your background is in theatre, right? How did that happen?
DlishMaxiMus: Like every young actor I wasn't given enough attention and love as a child. J/K mom & dad if you're reading this!
pg5000: how did you start to pursue these multimedia projects?
DlishMaxiMus: my focus for the past number of years has been on developing theatre audiences composed of 20/30 "somethings" as they say. i dont believe that theatre should be ostracized as some elite and expensive fine art for old whities. lets make it dirty, lets roughouse, lets explore new formats, lets wake up experimentation, lets make theatre alive dammit.
pg5000: who's your personal hero?
DlishMaxiMus: Barbara. (my mom) and hallie fucking flanagan. look her up.
pg5000: Yes ma'am. ;)
pg5000: What's your favorite word?
DlishMaxiMus: fuck.
DlishMaxiMus: its so expressive, don't you think?
pg5000: Have you always loved producing?
DlishMaxiMus: when i first started i hated it. but it was the only way for an "emerging" director, or even someone who has a strong sense of their own world view to actually put on their projects. through doing it over and over, i have developed a love, passion, and an unfortunate stress related side effect of hives from doin it.
pg5000: Do you have a secret recipe for mayhem? What is it?
DlishMaxiMus: cool artists, great friends, and the wisdom to know the difference.
DlishMaxiMus: cayenne pepper by the way is not actually a spice, but a unit of heat. add heavily.
pg5000: What's the craziest party you've ever thrown?
DlishMaxiMus: i was 16 at the time so i am unsure as to whether i am legally allowed to talk about it. i will check with my laywer and get back to you and your readers.
pg5000: Do you like sticking it to the man?
DlishMaxiMus: LOL. well, i like sticking it to most men. this is hollywood after all.
(* Our real IM screennames have not been used. If you wanna chat, come on down to Night Hawks - next Monday Mar. 19 - Don't bother trying to internet stalk Hallie Flanagan. She died. She doesn't have a myspace page.)

Let it Snow
Haunting and beautiful. Kitschy and wonderful. Snowglobes may be more associated with tourist gifts than actual snow but Walter Martin & Paloma Munoz bring the holidays back to us in a unique way. They've been showing their exquisitely detailed snowglobes around the world for the last few years. They even had a diorama gallery in the Hollywood/Highland subway terminal in 2005. Enjoy the scenes below. If you're in Miami over the holidays the snowglobes will be on display at PULSE.

It's Labor Day, It's 10:00pm. Do you know where Andy Dick is?
A very special Celeb Sighting is dedicated to the evening Andy Dick spent with Los Feliz on Labor Day. Who knew this was such a drink happy holiday? It might as well as been St. Patrick's at Ye Olde Rustic on Hillhurst as Andy Dick and his entourage, which included his son and comedian Jay Johnston, took over the back patio after supping at the Alcove. If you don't already know the Alcove I would like to think their motto is come for the cupcakes, stay for the food. Those already familair with the Sunset strip comedians know Andy gets handsy after he's tossed back a couple. After throwing back shots with his son and losing his cellphone repeatedly, Andy was following boy and girls into the bar's bathroom. No one got out of there un-groped by the man once known as that little weird guy on News Radio. Andy had this to say about himself:"You know what people always ask me? They always look at me with pity and ask, but how are things? And I always respond with three answers: I could be better. I could be worse. I'm not dead." You are very much alive, Mr. Dick, very much alive.

The iPod is on Repeat
The top songs I can't seem to stop listening to on repeat:
Cut Chemist "The Garden"
When I first heard this track on Morning Becomes Eclectic I thought it was some lost Astrud Gilberto track remixed. Come to find out it's just the genius DJ behind Jurassic 5.
Regina Spektor "On The Radio" & "Hotel"
Delicate voice puts such beautiful intonations on lines that quote Guns N' Roses' "November Rain", orca whales and cocaine.
Camera Obscura "Lloyd I'm Ready To Be Heartbroken"
As if one needed another reason to crush on tne Scottish.
