AWD Man Out
1999-06-24 17:32:11
No, I'm not talking about Subarus or some Amiga group. AWD is to DANCE what DEMOLITION DERBY is to SPORT. Compare and contrast! These guys rock the cool checkit, gotta say.
AWD is this totally weird and spacey athleto-fireo-danceo-musicko group that performs for a lot of Burning Man events, among other things. They are REAL COOL.
Like, start off with a bunch of speed-freak modern-primitive musicians with crazy instruments like hand saws and steel drums making BIG NOISE. Then add on top of that three skirling chanteuses wandering manically around a stage or theater or WHATEVER. Then on top of THAT you gotta add another 6 or 8 DANCERS who jump and climb on each other and every surface in the performance space, including the ceiling, and then spit and set fire and generally cause major catastrophes of epic proportions.
It's a really crazed visual and sonic experience. Not to mention that the performers all have ROCKED BODS, which it's worth the price of admission just to see them squirm around, I gotta say. Man.
They're doing an extended theater run here in the City right now that's worth checking out. Pigdog'll be there; will you?

Health and Human Services officials spend a year on pot
After a yearlong, comprehensive, thorough, complete investigation into the effects of marijuana usage, Health and Human Services (HHS) officials recommended that it be moved from Schedule I of the Controlled Substances Act to Schedule III, meaning that the HHS no longer considers cannabis to be a drug with high abuse potential and no medical value.

If you've ever wondered what actual bullshit looks like, just check the back side of Lee Meyers' decommissioned police cruiser. Lee chopped the top of the passenger side of the car off so he could take his full-grown Watusi bull, named Howdy Doody, for joy rides around his home town of Neligh, Nebraska. Since the car doesn't have bathroom facilities Howdy Doody just craps all over the back and side of the car whenever he feels the need to let one go. (More...)
Self-righteous assholes block highway to Burning Man
A group of self-righteous assholes converted exactly zero people to their cause by blocking the highway to Burning Man this week. The group, which used a flimsy trailer, some lengths of chain, and a few folding chairs to block the road, put up signs including "Burners of the World Unite," but none of the burners stopped in traffic wanted to unite with them for anything.
