Favorite Movie Quotes: The Freshman
"There's kind of a freedom in being completely screwed, because you know things can't get any worse."
Postcard - Seattle, Washington
"Government Locks, Seattle, Washington. These locks offer easy access for pleasure and commercial boats between the salt water of Puget Sound and the fresh waters of Lake Union and Lake Washington."

Obscuro Bezango Show!
The following press release was found in my email this morning about an art exhibit opening in Pittsburgh, PA that will be something of a landmark in the history of the Obscuro genre. I am very excited about attending this event!
Obscuro Bezango!
Curated by Thomas Rehm
At Future Tenant 819 Penn Avenue
Opening reception Friday August 2, 2013 | 7-10 PM
On display from August 2 to September 1, 2013
Free Admission
(June 18, 213) Future Tenant
presents Obscuro Bezango!, a body of
work by three creators in a little known arena of art called Obscuro Culture.
This four-week visual arts exhibit will feature traditional sculpture, outsider
sculpture, and Obscuro art and comics all unified by their singularity of
vision. In addition to curating the show, Thomas Rehm will display work
alongside Maximum Traffic- the assumed name of a prolific artist- and Elmore “Buzz”
Buzzizyk. These three unlikely gallery-mates help carry on the underground
culture of self published artists and cartoonists that arose in the advent of
widely available, inexpensive photocopying, today known as Obscuro art.
Meet the curator and enjoy
complimentary drinks at the opening reception FRIDAY AUGUST 2 FROM 7-10 PM. This event is free and open to the
public.

Favorite Movie Quotes: Pink Flamingos
"Miss Edie, as long as there are chickens laying and trucks driving and my feet walking you can be sure I'll bring you the finest of the fine, the largest of the large, and the whitest of the white. In other words that thin-shelled ovum of the domestic fowl will never be safe as long as there are chickens laying and I'm alive because I am your Eggman and there ain't a better one in town."
