This week I don't have many events. But the ones I found I like. Well, Forgotten Works Challenge might be a lemon. But it won't be as bad as Naked Drumming at WetSpot or Dinner in Bed (Burlesque Swedish Housewife).
In this week's computer corner we will discuss the results of a fight between members of the Cambodian Midget Fighting League and an African lion.

JetBlue's Boston Tea Party @ Pike Place Market
Hey Guerrillas,
One of our out of town Guerrillas passed along an invite he received
from the airline JetBlue. Apparently they're doing a promotion/canned
food drive that's right up our alley -- and you can score a free trip
to Boston! Although Dirty Bunny will be out of town, we highly
recommend any Guerrillas who are free Friday afternoon to take
advantage of this great offer -- how often do we get great prizes for
dressing up?!
"Be part of the revolution! -- Come to the JetBlue's Boston Tea Party
232nd Anniversary celebration - you can win a roundtrip flight to
Boston, plus you'll be supporting the Northwest Harvest food drive.
If anyone goes on down, take some pictures and let us know.
Have fun!

Roq La Rue Holiday Party and Benefit For Bamboo
Roq La Rue Holiday Party and Benefit For Bamboo
December 16th 6-9pm
a one night only art show
with ALL proceeds
going to NARN's Free Bamboo Campaign
With works by:
Mark Ryden, Marion Peck, Todd Schorr, Kathy Schorr, Alex Gross, Scott Musgrove, Pooch, Joshua Petker, Andrew Brandou, Ryan Heshka, Joe Vollan, Yumiko Kayukawa, Krystof Nemeth, Jessica McCourt, Derek Nobbs, Rik Garrett, Kipling West, Travis Louie and
more.....
Roq la Rue is throwing a holiday party and hosting a special ONE NIGHT ONLY art show with ALL proceeds going to the Northwest Animal Rights Network fund for Bamboo the elephant. Bamboo, a resident of Woodland Park Zoo for 37 years, began to exhibit aggressive and neurotic behavior. The Elephant Sanctuary in Tennessee offered to take Bamboo and offer her a better life, on their own dime, but the Woodland Park Zoo decided to send her to Point Defiance Zoo instead (where she continues her neurotic pacing and head-shaking). This is an injustice and smacks of politics rather than true concern for this majestic creature's health and well being. We feel if more people were aware of the situation we could get Bamboo moved to the Sanctuary
where she'd be loved and taken care of, with thousands of acres to roam instead of the one acre she has now. All funds raised will be used to raise awareness about
Bamboo's welfare in our community.
So- we got some of the big stars in the Pop Surrealism scene as well as a wealth of local talent to donate works for the cause! We will be selling work Friday night from 6-9pm. First come, first served. No works will be pre-sold. Buyers must be present at the fundraiser. If you are out of town and interested in an artist shoot us an email...we'll hook you up if we
can! Please come and support Bamboo!
Buy art or just come and have some drinks and delicious snacks and throw a fiver in the pot for Bamboo! All are welcome.
Special thanks to NARN and the Free Bamboo Crew as
well as all donating businesses for the help!

Storm and The Balls @ High Dive
Shapey writes:
Back for another go around, Interface Booking and Management is proud to present Storm and the Balls, featuring the turntable wizardry of DJ Shapeshifter and beatbox supreme, B-Shorty!
Best gen-x jazz babies
Any band with the word "balls" in its name should be, well, ballsy, and one-of-a-kind torch singer Storm Large and her three-man backing band the Balls don't disappoint. The commanding, 6-foot blond vixen cleverly twists rock and heavy-metal hits, American classics and everything in between into absurd and poignant renditions best described as loungecore. In Storm's world, Abba and Iron Butterfly coexist harmoniously in "Abba-Gadda-Davida," and it's perfectly normal to revisit Metallica, the Cramps and "The Star-Spangled Banner" in one raucous evening. Of course, it doesn't hurt that Storm's Balls consist of skilled ex-members of Everclear and Motherlode. But she's got the biggest you-know-whats.

Forgotten Works Challenge @ OK HOTEL
We are doing it again! Big opening day for the Forgotten Works Challenge.
Saturday December 17th from 3pm till 8pm at the OK HOTEL. Over 1000 Works
of art by 37 artists all priced at $40. Give the gift of original artwork
this holiday season. The OK HOTEL is located at 212 Alaskan way (under the viaduct between S. Washington and S. Main streets)
Beth seems to be one of the artists:
The focus of the Forgotten Works Challenge is to create 30 paintings in 30 days Because of the work I do, for me it meant creation without all the planning which goes into my larger works. It meant I just had to immerse myself in my work each day. Also I tried to paint Monday through Friday though I did work one Sunday so I didn't work every day which means I had to paint 30 paintings in 20 days.
Is this the motto: Quantity over Quality?

CLIMAX GOLDEN TWINS
"...beautifully arranged passages of juxtaposition loaded with both implicity and complicity... possesses a peculiarly filmic quality...a waking dream... [A] group of loincloth-clad sloth herders snacking on toucan drumsticks and rubbing the electronic equipment left behind by a recently cannibalized National Geographic crew...a truly fascinating thing that floats...co-ordination of this kind within a group of primates without language is a rare and beautiful thing." "
— Nathan Thompson, Opprobrium no. 4
(London, England)
WAYNE HORVITS / Sweeter than the Day (Tim Young - Guitar, Keith Lowe - bass, Andy Roth - drums) Wayne Horvitz (piano)
"...conjures Keith Jarrett's pianistic landscapes, with a hint of Frisell's pastoralism. Horvitz plays sublimely beautiful melodies on piano; Tim Young delivers clean, crisp, coloristic electric guitar; Lowe massages out rueful basslines; and drummer Andy Roth... plays with brushes like an impressionistic painter."
- Christopher Porter, Jazz Times
DEGENERATE ART ENSEMBLE
"This is visceral, smart modern music with a huge dynamic range, from delicate shards to explosive grooving
enhanced by the full-on banshee wailing of vocalist Nishimura. Complexity without nerdiness and drawing from
on a wide world of sound filtered through the kind of anti-authoritarian sensibility that's the perfect
antidote to ambivalent alt-rock." - Elliott Sharp (NYC)

I have to admit that this story made be laugh hard:
Lion Mutilates 42 Midgets in Cambodian Ring-Fight
http://www.newturfers.com/mwf/attach/38/355838/BBCNEWSWorldLionMutilates42MidgetsinCambodianRing-Fight.htm
Unfortunately the banner gives it away. It's a fake. A fake with a story:
It was created to 'settle' a dispute between a friend of mine in which he claimed that 40 weaponless midgets could defeat 1 lion in a hypothetical fight. Many of my other friends and I tried to convince him that the lion would definitely win, but he would not back down from his argument. After seeing another fake article posing as BBC about 'zombism' in Cambodia, I got the idea to make this fake news article to try and convince him for the final time.
If you want to learn more about the Cambodian Midget Fighting League and if you would like to submit your vote please go to the site.
Who would win in a fight between 1 Lion vs. 40 Midgets?
http://lionvs40midgets.uk-directory.com/
I am placing my bets on the lion.
