DJ Amir @ Chop Suey

Hi Don,
I want to let you know about an event I am putting together for Friday at Chop Suey. I am bringing DJ Amir from NYC. He will be playing 3 sets of African, Latin and Middle Eastern House Music accompanied with African, Samba and Middle Eastern costumed dancers. I think it will be fun.
Wissam
Here are the details:
DJ AMIR from NYC
African, Latin and Middle Eastern House
Culture Theory is proud to present DJ Amir from NYC for the first time in Seattle on Friday, March 18th at Chop Suey.
DJ Amir brings cutting-edge world house beats that seamlessly fuse sounds from the streets of Casablanca, Buenos Aires and Dakar. This DJ delivers a raucous mesh of mystical riffs and mesmerizing rhythms earning him an ever-growing legion of loyal fans.
Kicking off the evening will be Seattle’s DJ Anup. Amira, Lisette, Suzanna and Vanessa will dance with a kaleidoscope of visual projections driving the pulse of the crowd to unmatched heights. It’s the perfect counterpoint to DJ Amir’s commanding turntable stylings, transporting you from the minarets of Egypt to the center of an earth-pounding Zambian tribal chant, then back to the flashing black eyes of samba dancer in a hidden gafieira in Rio de Janiero.
Come and experience the DJ who’s reshaping the world of house in a wild marinade of sights and sounds. Tickets are $12 with RSVP and $16 on the door.
Chop Suey

BY PHONE: (206)292-2787
In the first concert of its kind, Degenerate Art
Ensemble has assembled a powerful roster of some of
Seattle's most creative and innovative musical minds
to create new works for a 45 piece orchestra made up
of Seattle's finest adventurous classical and
improvising musicians. The concert will feature 10
new orchestral works including four multi-media works;
Eyvind Kang's new work for solo vocalist and orchestra
(Jessika Kenney - trained in the musics of Indonesia
and India), Ben McAllister's suite for orchestra and
new silent film by William Weiss, Joshua Kohl's score
to accompany a solo dance by DAE's own butoh visionary
Haruko Nishimura ("a master" -San Francisco Weekly)
and a new interactive work that breaks down the walls
between audience, composer and orchestra by Seattle
School (the makers of Iron Composer).
One night of innovation for full orchestra by 10 of
Seattle's hottest musical minds-
40 piece orchestra, 11 Seattle Composers, 1 Dancer, 1
silent film, 3 guest vocalists, 1 trumpet soloist, 1
theatrical work for orchestra
FEATURING NEW ORCHESTRAL AND MULTI MEDIA WORKS BY:
Eyvind Kang (Tzadik Records) - with guest vocalist
Jessika Kenny
Lori Goldston (Black Cat Orchestra, David Byrne,
Nirvana)
Seattle School (the makers of Iron Composer)
Timothy Young and Paul Moore (Psychodelic Rock
Orchestra, Very Special Forces)
Joshua Kohl (Degenerate Art Ensemble) - featuring a
solo dance by Haruko Nishimura
Jherek Bischoff (Degenerate Art Ensemble/Dead Science)

featuring a new silent film
Ian Rashkin (Degenerate Art Ensemble/Baby)
Tom Swafford (Meisce, Sound of the Underbrush)
'They entranced the audience... the secret of their
show is perfect drama, gradation and splendid visuals,
and a punk-symphonic-garage-big-band style. Dynamic
upheavals were turning into relaxing passages and
everything was falling into place like wheels in a
postmodernist clock machine."
-Svet Jine Huby Magazine (Prague, Czech Republic)
new works for 45 piece orchestra by:
Jherek Bischoff
Lori Goldston
Eyvind Kang
Joshua Kohl
Ben McAllister
Sam Mickens

Tickets $10-$15
This exciting project is being presented by Seattle
Theater Group and funded in part by the Aaron Copland
Fund, 4Culture and the Seattle Office of Arts and
Cultural Affairs.
A FEW NOTES ON DEGENERATE ART ENSEMBLE:
"…their art is a violently beautiful, passionate world
where things don't have a 'nice day', but are either
dying or coming to life, screaming or absolutely
silent."
-The Stranger (Seattle)
“"This music & movement ensemble create work outside
of all music and dance conventions...telling a surreal
story filled with sweetness, power and humor. The
unexpected is accomplished and a mysterious mythology
emerges."
-- Berliner Morgenpost, (Berlin, Germany)
"(DAE choreographer Haruko Nishimura) is able to
create breathtakingly powerful images using the
sparest movement style."
-Seattle Post Intelligencer
"(DAE) works to create and perform a living form of
music… one derived from jazz, punk, blues, post modern
influences… (to) reflect what music is in today's
society - a new, and developing thing."
-Swing Magazine (New York)
"Lines between classical, jazz, world music, and hard
rock aesthetics are obliterated in (DAE's) eloquently
executed, high energy repertoire."
-SF Weekly (San Francisco)

Clearly Marked @ Wet Spot
This sounds terrible to me. But on the other hand I am not invited.
Mark your calendars for 3 Adult performances you won't want to miss!
Performance art by S.Bear Bergman, Tara Hardy & Teri Ciacchi 7-9pm
BDSM Play party for Women, Gender Queers and Trans folks 9pm-1am
$15 for the performances only
$10 for the play party only
$20 if you want to attend both the show and the party
Clearly Marked by S. Bear Bergman
Opening Acts: Tara Hardy & Teri Ciacchi
March 20th, 7:00 PM, $15
Doors open at 6:30 and the show starts promptly at 7:00. Late arrivals will not be seated after 7:30pm. Teri Ciacchi, head of the Terrafire Academy of Aphrodisiacal Living, will provide opening entertainment by reading from her new chap book "Radical Queer Femmifesto" which will be available for $5. Tara Hardy, founder and director of "Bent : A Queer Writing Insitute", will take the mike next reading some of her new works.
Clearly Marked is a hilarious, high-impact, thought-provoking theater
piece that peels back the layers of the labels we all wear and digs in to what's underneath. As Bergman's signature warm and accessible storytelling begins to unfold on the stage, lines between categories start to blur and old labels start to have new lives. Also unique is the loving examination of Jewish tradition and community which Bergman, an observant Jew, brings to the stage. In the revelation of a lifetime's worth of Bergman's accumulated identities, Clearly Marked opens up a place for anyone to be more complicated than the label ze wears on top, and questions the society that demands we wear so few.
Fearless as ever, Bergman grapples with religion, body image, gender, sexuality, and the perennial bathroom problem - not to mention life as the Little Jewish Ambassador, how gender is like a highway, being a fat kid, strategic lesbianism, gay marriage, and how to explain it all to your Aunt Petunia in a way that doesn't completely freak her out. No matter what label you wear when you arrive, Clearly Marked will send you home feeling different from and connected to everyone around you - and feeling good about it.
For more information about Bear, go to http://www.sbearbergman.com/
The performance is open to anyone over 18.
Wet Spot membership is not required.

Letters to the Editor.
RE: Vegfest 2005 ( 3/12/2005)
Hi PV folks-
Hope you were able to make it to VegFest and see that veggies and vegans span the same spectrum, looks-wise, as the rest of the population- but usually minus the obesity problem. I was there and thought it was great- lots of people from babies to grannies! You can see a whole bunch of vegans (a few of which are local!) modeling here www.petacatalog.org - they look pretty healthy to me!
;)

Hi L.L.,
Thanks for your feedback.
What a funny site! I like the "Powered By Tofu" bumper sticker:

Everybody knows language translators. The most popular one is probably Babel Fish (http://world.altavista.com). The best translator for German to English is in my opinion http://dict.leo.org/ . This week I would like to bring your attention to a pretty funny translators I know:
Gizoogle
http://www.gizoogle.com/
It works like Google except for it translates the Google results into some sort of rap/ghetto English. Here is what I found out about Party Volcano:
