once again, the ridiculous world of , and the arts is upon us!

This Saturday, January 13th, the kids will be back at the O Zen Lounge (formally The Buddha Lounge) bringing their own special brand of goofiness and art and drunkenness and art and art for the world to enjoy.

as an added bonus, this time we will be having a super special birthday celebration for our dear leader Justin Marshall. not like we need another reason to get horribly out of control in the name of art, but there it is right in front of us.

if you’ve missed any of these parties in the past, we know you’ve since learned your lesson. prove us right (because we are) and show your face this saturday.

We are so so so pleased to introduce the work of the wonderful Ellen Hobart to the world of WLT.

Ellen has recently shown her work at The O Zen Lounge as part off our “, and the arts.” exhibit along with many other .waiting line theory. artists; and she has won our hearts with her smile and talent all wrapped up in a willingness to dance to the most absurd party music this side of the mississippi.

go take a look at her work, it’ll be the best thing you do this holiday season.

go take a look, you saw him at the Handmade Detroit Holiday Market, now’s yr chance to see him at his painterly best.

(who talks like this?)

its time for another grand installment of poetry from P.S.Burton!

from Poem 11 :

Are you friend or foe? I ask of you
Tell me something I already know.

To self-indulge in expensive drunkenness
And cry of love far-far gone.
And end the night in the vomit of repugnance.

enjoy …

Handemade Detroit Holiday Market!!
we will be setting up at this great crafter event at the Magic Stick in just over one week from today. for those of you who made it to the DUCF this past August, you will no doubt understand that this event is not to be missed for anything (did someone say ‘plane ticket’?)

for all the most up-to-date info, keep your eyes peeled to the HD blog, as if thay aren’t already …

and as per usual, the Handemaders say it best:

That’s right, the lovely folks ::cough, us, cough:: who brought you this summer’s “it” event (DUCF, anyone?) are pleased to present the 2006 Handmade Detroit Holiday Market Saturday, Dec.9, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at Detroit’s own Magic Stick! And, per usual, there’s no cover! (This is your cue to call grams and gramps and see what they’re up to that day…)

Make sure your calendar is cleared now and that you’re rounding up that loose change for a run to the nearest Coinstar. This holiday bonanza (I’ve been dying to type that word) is much, MUCH more than your standard craft fair. Get yourself ready for music (most likely of the “happy” and “holiday” kinds), make-and-take tables (did someone say audience participation?!), and a variety of unique gift ideas from some of Detroit’s coolest makers, both crafters and artisans alike. Not to toot my own horn here, but this really is the place to be on Dec. 9. So, TOOT, TOOT!

(we’d just like to add that we have, in fact, used a Coinstar recently … and we’re pretty sure its what heaven will feel like)

a note from nick:

This will be my last solo show until the new record is finished and I’ll be playing as much of my new songs as my time will permit. But more importantly don’t miss this opportunity to see Peter Walker and Jack Rose . . . it will be a huge guitar night for sure but fans of post-20th century American music should be out in full force as well.

from metropark :

the first glass will be wine
red
then again and again
dear sisters we will hail the searchs end

as the slant in the ceiling is a kind of fiction
until it is surprisingly observed
as the eyes scan upwards for a word

go take a look
