Diamond Rings, opening for Twin Shadow. Synth-y goodness.
your hosts for the evening's convocatoria
Killing time before a lecture a couple of weekends ago, we wandered over to an art exhibit across the street and literally ran into a nude couple in the building's very small elevator. In the course of some very *focused* conversation during our ride to the 3rd floor, we learned they were rehearsing for a performance by La Pocha Nostra, a non-profit performance collective based in the Mission in SF. We returned that evening to see the group in action. Click here to view Jaeha Yoo's Performance video. Note -- brief nudity starting around 1:20.
summer of tempera paint and magic realism
Unidentified band performing at the Capsule Design Festival in Hayes Valley last month. (Anyone know who they are?) *Love this.*

UPDATE Here are a couple of reviews of Ed's show and further info about his work..
