Hello Boston, My name is Rob Pettit, an artist here in Allston. I'm putting together an installation of old used cell phones. I have about 1000 so far and I need help getting much more. You can see a picture of the pile here, http://s60.photobucket.com/albums/h28/robp1322/?action=view&current=DSCN... I've tried recycling companies but they won't help, they make a lot of money cleaning your old phone and then selling it refurbished, than give a little money to charity to make them look good. Their not out there to help broke artists like myself. Any way, If you have some old phones you want to donate to my project my building is having open studios on the weekend of November 10. swing by and check out my work along with 40 other artists. The address is 119 Briantree in Allston, down the street from the Sports Depot. Email me If you need more info or want to come by my studio before than. Thanks Rob Robpettit@mac.com

Rothbury Music Festival: Post 1

I wish I could say I saw a couple more cities on my way to Rothbury, Michigan. We—Spencer, Mills, Maysa, Keith and myself—drove from Allston to Michigan in about 17 hours, passing through Cleveland, Detroit, Lansing and a couple other places along the way. After making it through a 20-hour bus ride in Argentina a few years ago, I've learned to appreciate all the things you see along the way during a road trip that you miss on a plane.

Fuck Michael Jackson

The guy could dance, hooked up with a couple of good producers, diddled little kids (allegedly, yeah right), and is now dead. Good riddance.

Dear, dear Governor Sanford

When apologizing publically to your wife and constituents, here's a rough list of things you should probably avoid mentioning:

1. Your experience, even that which falls within your college years, of working across national borders without a work visa. This goes double for high-ranking, GOP president-hopefuls.

2. That you were exhausted by your own efforts to turn down federal stimulus money.
