The Mahlers.

WILD SWEET ORANGE.

noreply@blogger.com (Andrew) — Sat, 08 Nov 2008 22:36:00 +0000

Wild Sweet Orange played another great show at The Earl in Atlanta. They opened for Margot & the Nuclear So and So's, who were fantastic...

In spite of its punk-rock-bar-grunge atmosphere, The Earl has surprisingly good food. I had a tofu and veggie pita, Anne Garland had a black bean burger and Preston had pumpkin soup with a southwestern salad. We highly recommend.

1. Percussionist from Margot.

Latin American Poster Exhibit @ Emory's Woodruff Library

noreply@blogger.com (Andrew) — Sat, 13 Sep 2008 00:37:00 +0000

This exhibit was fantastic. Especially the Cuban film/art festival posters.

"Drawing primarily from the University of New Mexico's unparalleled, 10,000-strong Sam L. Slick Collection of Latin American and Iberian Posters, this traveling exhibition features 75 works that document and explore Latin America's contemporary social and political history, as mirrored in five unifying themes: Imperialism, Solidarity and Self-Determination; Icons, Martyrs, and Charismatic Leaders; Human Rights, Feminism, and Indigenism; Revolution and Popular Movements; and Culture, Society and Film.

Dating from the 1950s to the present, the posters originate from eleven Latin American countries, complemented by several works from the United States. This exhibition is organized by the UNM University Libraries' Center for Southwest Research, Albuquerque, New Mexico, in collaboration with the National Hispanic Cultural Center. Support for this project was provided by the University of New Mexico Center for Regional Studies."
