On October 29, 2007, dancer Alycia Scott and violinist Carmel Raz collaborated on an hour of improvisation called Emerge. Invoking the work of an Israeli poet (Raz is Israeli) and memorializing a community organizer in Pilsen (where Scott lives) recently attacked on her bicycle, the two artists filled the Heaven gallery space with a flood of crescendoing and rhythmic music and movement.

"Fall is here. The gelidity of winter will soon be upon us. So pour your hot cocoa, tighten the strings of your hoodie, power up your electric blanket, and enjoy the remaining moments of the lives of leaves."   Photo by Thomas Salvatore

"This is my best friend, Heather. She's the kind of person that sews, types letters, and sends me postcards even when we converse on the phone many days of the week. She knows how to fly a Cessna, volunteers to look after squid and other aquatic life at an aquarium, and is a pastry chef. These things culminate into the kind of person you want to remain friends with until you find yourself, cold and cramped, six feet under ground in a cheap wooden box."  http://www.flickr.com/photos/tdiddy/

Chicago's 38th Annual Pride Parade hit the streets of Boystown on Sunday, June 24.  The 250+ parade entries enjoyed the boisterous, high-energy crowd on the streets as they made their way North from the corner of Halsted Street and Belmont Avenue to the intersection of Halsted and Broadway, then South on Broadway to Diversey, ending at Diversey and Cannon Drive.

Dance music thumped, politicians waved, dykes rode their bikes, feather headdresses were adorned, clothing was shed, drinks were consumed, rifles were twirled, paraphernalia was dispersed, flags were waved, beads were tossed, dancers danced (in showers, in tubs, in foam, in Speedos), and expression was freed.

Nobody paid any attention to the hate-preaching protesters, so I won't mention them at all.
