THE THERMALS @ Neumos
The prospect of an unknown, unpolished, unready band being put in the national spotlight is not longer even close to rare. Every week the not incredibly discerning ear of music blogs and websites tunes in to bands with nary an album to their name. The banner of Next Big Thing is proferred and then forgotten as the dutiful keyboard jockeys move on to the next diamond in the rough. But when Sub Pop released the Thermals' debut More Parts Per Million just 6 years ago, that wasn't the case and the recording stood out in all its tinny ecstatic punk joy, loose screws exposed. The standout track's chorus "Hardly art, hardly garbage," hit close enough to the bone to make the band seem at once silly and important. Something between garbage and art. Fortunately that album was released by Sub Pop, a label that has stood behind the band as it has developed a more complex, mature sound, all for a growing fanbase's viewing pleasure. It's hard to say, but the Thermals might be the last great crappy band.

Robert Kuttner: ‘The Squandering of America’
Robert Kuttner is the co-founder and editor-in-chief of the left-liberal political magazine The Prospect. In his new book, The Squandering of America, Kuttner argues that the abandonment of policies, institutions, and regulations in place since the New Deal has enriched the already wealthy at the expense of America’s lower and middle classes. He compares the causes of the Great Depression to behavior patterns evident in our market system today, with unfavorable conclusions. James Fallows calls this book “persuasive and powerfully argued.” Presented by the Town Hall Center for Civic Life with Elliott Bay Book Company.

Aqua Art Miami 07
Aqua Art Miami 07
This year Aqua Art Miami will take place in two locations simultaneously, one at the Aqua Hotel in South Beach, near Art Basel Miami Beach where we first launched the fair in 2005. Our additional new venue, Aqua Wynwood, is in a warehouse in Miami's Wynwood gallery district, near important venues like the Rubell Collection and many others.
This year we'll feature 44 galleries at the Aqua Hotel, with more than half of the dealers being new to our fair. Based on the west coast, fair organizers have made it their mission to promote noteworthy programs in their region as well as the greater USA, with a particular interest in supporting young dealers and galleries with strong emerging artist programs. Approximately a third of the galleries are from Seattle, Portland, San Francisco, and Los Angeles, with the remainder being from a wide range of other cities in the US and abroad.
The hotel itself is a classic South Beach boutique hotel with breezy, spacious rooms surrounding an intimate courtyard, which has become a favorite gathering spot to relax and socialize during Art Basel week. Our event is located within walking distance of Art Basel, just south of the bustling Lincoln Road restaurant and shopping area. Many hotel beach bars and cocktail events are close by and the glorious beach itself is just a block away.
An Aqua shuttle will run in a continual loop between the hotel and Art Basel Miami Beach each day during regular event hours, stopping near the Botanical Garden across from the Convention Center entrance D.

PUNCH + SOIL International Juried Exhibition
PUNCH + SOIL International Juried Exhibition A bell is a cup until it is struck
December 6 – 30, 2007
Two Venues. One Exhibition.
Opening Receptions and Awards: 6-9pm, First Thursday, December 6, 2007
PUNCH and SOIL team-up to present the work of 16 artists from across the US and beyond. Nearly 1000 entries were submitted from more than 300 artists. Juried by Eric Fredericksen, director of Western Bridge, this exhibition includes a focused assemblage of photography, video, sculpture, ink on paper, cough drop labels and other mixed media. Themes include spills, spots, piles, trash, smoke, mirrors, bread, sunsets, Jesus, trees, motor homes, and a poodle.
Juror’s statement:
“Given the rich assortment of work submitted for this exhibition, a juror could make any number of exhibitions. Given the two spaces and their divergent histories, I chose to make two linked, loosely thematic exhibitions. At SOIL, a series of confrontations with geometry, at PUNCH, confrontations with nature. Documentary imagery dominates, though what is being documented is often a constructed situation. Responding to tensions in the work between structure and entropy, as between representation and abstraction, the exhibition remains unresolved. Each space will also display work which does not fit into this scheme, in order that the scheme not completely destroy the illusion that an exhibition juried by a single juror could result in an objective accounting of the best work submitted.”
–Eric Fredericksen
Artists Include:
Gretchen Bennett – Seattle, WA Richard Gilles – Folsom, CA
Sarah Bergmann – Brooklyn, NY Sol Hashemi – Vancouver, WA

Hey, so my friend "No Touching Ground" and other Seattle's local artists are having a big instillation at the house/apartment behind of Kincora this Friday! It's a part of the block where they will build a condo, so they're gonna tear down the building after this show. It will be like another Bridge Motel Art Show probably.
But this time, tickets are required to enter the building. They only have 333 tickets available at the crape shop bottom of the Convention Center on Pine on the date of the art show, which is Friday the 30th. Ticket to enter is free, but they have a late night performance on the rooftop and that ticket will be between $5 to $15, not sure yet. Both tickets are available at the same place. The crape stop is on Pike, in the building of Convention Center, next to Subway. One person can only get 2 tickets. So, if you are interested in this, go get the tickets! :) I will go for sure! Hope to see you all there....

THE THERMALS @ Neumos
The prospect of an unknown, unpolished, unready band being put in the national spotlight is not longer even close to rare. Every week the not incredibly discerning ear of music blogs and websites tunes in to bands with nary an album to their name. The banner of Next Big Thing is proferred and then forgotten as the dutiful keyboard jockeys move on to the next diamond in the rough. But when Sub Pop released the Thermals' debut More Parts Per Million just 6 years ago, that wasn't the case and the recording stood out in all its tinny ecstatic punk joy, loose screws exposed. The standout track's chorus "Hardly art, hardly garbage," hit close enough to the bone to make the band seem at once silly and important. Something between garbage and art. Fortunately that album was released by Sub Pop, a label that has stood behind the band as it has developed a more complex, mature sound, all for a growing fanbase's viewing pleasure. It's hard to say, but the Thermals might be the last great crappy band.

Robert Kuttner: ‘The Squandering of America’
Robert Kuttner is the co-founder and editor-in-chief of the left-liberal political magazine The Prospect. In his new book, The Squandering of America, Kuttner argues that the abandonment of policies, institutions, and regulations in place since the New Deal has enriched the already wealthy at the expense of America’s lower and middle classes. He compares the causes of the Great Depression to behavior patterns evident in our market system today, with unfavorable conclusions. James Fallows calls this book “persuasive and powerfully argued.” Presented by the Town Hall Center for Civic Life with Elliott Bay Book Company.

Aqua Art Miami 07
Aqua Art Miami 07
This year Aqua Art Miami will take place in two locations simultaneously, one at the Aqua Hotel in South Beach, near Art Basel Miami Beach where we first launched the fair in 2005. Our additional new venue, Aqua Wynwood, is in a warehouse in Miami's Wynwood gallery district, near important venues like the Rubell Collection and many others.
This year we'll feature 44 galleries at the Aqua Hotel, with more than half of the dealers being new to our fair. Based on the west coast, fair organizers have made it their mission to promote noteworthy programs in their region as well as the greater USA, with a particular interest in supporting young dealers and galleries with strong emerging artist programs. Approximately a third of the galleries are from Seattle, Portland, San Francisco, and Los Angeles, with the remainder being from a wide range of other cities in the US and abroad.
The hotel itself is a classic South Beach boutique hotel with breezy, spacious rooms surrounding an intimate courtyard, which has become a favorite gathering spot to relax and socialize during Art Basel week. Our event is located within walking distance of Art Basel, just south of the bustling Lincoln Road restaurant and shopping area. Many hotel beach bars and cocktail events are close by and the glorious beach itself is just a block away.
An Aqua shuttle will run in a continual loop between the hotel and Art Basel Miami Beach each day during regular event hours, stopping near the Botanical Garden across from the Convention Center entrance D.

PUNCH + SOIL International Juried Exhibition
PUNCH + SOIL International Juried Exhibition A bell is a cup until it is struck
December 6 – 30, 2007
Two Venues. One Exhibition.
Opening Receptions and Awards: 6-9pm, First Thursday, December 6, 2007
PUNCH and SOIL team-up to present the work of 16 artists from across the US and beyond. Nearly 1000 entries were submitted from more than 300 artists. Juried by Eric Fredericksen, director of Western Bridge, this exhibition includes a focused assemblage of photography, video, sculpture, ink on paper, cough drop labels and other mixed media. Themes include spills, spots, piles, trash, smoke, mirrors, bread, sunsets, Jesus, trees, motor homes, and a poodle.
Juror’s statement:
“Given the rich assortment of work submitted for this exhibition, a juror could make any number of exhibitions. Given the two spaces and their divergent histories, I chose to make two linked, loosely thematic exhibitions. At SOIL, a series of confrontations with geometry, at PUNCH, confrontations with nature. Documentary imagery dominates, though what is being documented is often a constructed situation. Responding to tensions in the work between structure and entropy, as between representation and abstraction, the exhibition remains unresolved. Each space will also display work which does not fit into this scheme, in order that the scheme not completely destroy the illusion that an exhibition juried by a single juror could result in an objective accounting of the best work submitted.”
–Eric Fredericksen
Artists Include:
Gretchen Bennett – Seattle, WA Richard Gilles – Folsom, CA
Sarah Bergmann – Brooklyn, NY Sol Hashemi – Vancouver, WA
