Get Your 2 Cents In

Across Alabama from the Menil parking lot, at the corner of Mandell, an abandoned building has been commandeered by taggers for the last few years. Christmas (or somewhere near) meant a busy night and the new stuff is great. DUAL, 2CENT, FRANK and BRANDED plastered the whole facade.

the Jim Love Jack, 1971, was catchin' some pretty light...

La Destrucción: New Year's Eve

La Destrucción
American Wandering Club at The Silo
4601 Clinton Drive
Houston, Texas

44 years after Argentine artist Marta Minujín created the first Happening in Paris the American Wandering Club will usher in 2008 with their own version. In the original La Destrucción the artist destroyed all her artwork, inviting others like Christo and Lourdes Castro to burn paintings and mattresses. Seeking a more collaborative event the American Wandering Club has invited artists to bring work from 2007 to The Silo on December 31^st in order to usher in the New Year. At 4:44 pm paintings and sculptures will be lit aflame, immediately followed by a performance by the Windham Brothers.

Please join us at 4 pm New Year’s Eve in the Warehouse District at The Silo, a former grain warehouse without a ceiling and a perfect view of the sky. Festivities will continue throughout the night presented by ACK, the Art Car Klub. Artists will include Betsy Askew, Paul Barces, Joey Bender, Adrian Brooks, Eli Brumbaugh, Sean Carroll, Brian Moss, Brian Rod, Shane Tolbert, and Vanessa Voss. Please call 832-724-9464 for more information.

Threadiness

Announcing a new $3 million ad campaign for the city's image has spurred on 8 pages of comments on chron.com, here are some good slogan suggestions.

- Houston, where if you mess with the bull, you get Joe Horn.

"Houston.....PRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH HAAAAAH HAAAAH HAAAAAH HIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEYA"!

"Houston: A City Without a NEWSpaper"

For all of you that think Houston is bad, try living in Corpus Christi.

It is bad idea to have Barb and old George help this city because all they do is hurt this city...thank goodness their idiot son is going to Dallas...they should move with him, because Dallas is better suited for elitist Republican racists...

"Houston.... Are you my babby daddy?"

Where else are you going to find that is so cheap to live, and your wealth puts you above the law.

Houston is great! Now, go away!
