INDIE ARTS FEST

Well worth the hour drive south

In the newest instance of the online world boiling over into the real world, the Providence arts blog indieartsri.org has spawned the IndieArts/ri Fest, an all-day extravaganza of burlesque dancers, bands, fine art, film and DJs. It is the first iteration of what its planners hope will be an annual tradition, where local artists take over Providence's Burnside Park and fill it with art and music and their fans.

The future of art is here - get the bong ready

Our urban landscape can be a bit dreary. All one needs to do to liven things up is drop a giant, shiny, elephant-sized bean smack dab in the center of the city.

PHOTOGRAPHIC HOTNESS

Iceland is a visually stunning destination. My Björk-obsessed roommate went there last year and now her room is Iceland themed. She went so far as to name our wireless internet network "stevesdottir," which is her Icelandic last name.

Distillery Opens Studio

Working on that molasses smell

Located along the former harbor line of Boston, the Distillery was the perfect place to unload molasses. These days, it holds three art galleries and nearly 140 artists.

ART FUCKIN RULES

As the weather heats up, so does the visual stimulation scene

The beach. Baseball games. Barbeque and beer. This is summer. Yet in this town of 10,000 schools and more open studios than ants, art abounds.

Day #1 at Tales...

By pinklady on Fri, Jul 18, 2008 7:15 pm

Began late with a perfect Pimm's Cup and breakfast at the Napoleon House. YUMMMM...If you've never had a Pimm's Cup do yourself a favor and check this cocktail out, especially if you happen to be in the quarter, near the Napoleon House. We also sampled a Roast Beef Po' Boy, since evidently the deep fried version we had the evening before just wasn't enough for us, and a Muffaletta, which comes portioned as a whole, half, and quarter sandwich. We ordered the quarter size, and it was still as big as my head.

 


Tales Pre-party

Before dinner MiMi, Em, and I (Pink Lady) head down to the Carousel Bar for Vieux Carres and to meet up with Hanky Panky and Barbara West. The Carousel Bar spins in the center of the room, so to chat with these seated gals, we have to march slowly around the room with them. We're doing the "Carousel Crawl." It looks impossibly silly.
