Factory Party 5

Well, Calgary, it's that time of the month again!
Factory Party is back this Friday at the Uptown Stage and Screen! If you haven't been yet, you really should, and if you have, then you're probably already planning on coming again. It's a great night for music, art, film, dancing, socializing and drinking...all in one place for one low, low price!
I'm even lucky enough to have a couple things up this time 'round and I would love to see some familiar faces and shoot some celebratory tequila. Maybe, just maybe I'll see you there!
Come down early if you don't have tickets...they're expecting 1200 people so there'll probably be more than that and door tickets will sell out.
See some bands, watch some films, check out some art (mine, too, please!) mingle, shake ya tail feather and party!

Movie Madness

Got a couple more movie trailers for ya.


Away We Go is directed by Sam Mendes (American Beauty) and written by Dave Eggers and Vendela Vida. It's got a great cast and looks to be filled with dry humour. Looks like a good'er.

The Limits of Control. Great cast. Great director. Looks quite interesting.

Must Read After My Death. Documentary. I can't even describe it...just watch it. A beautiful, if not entirely disturbing, idea for a film.

Explicit Ills. This look amazing. Paul Dano is making some really great choices in the films he works on. He's extremely talented and I look forward to watching the rest of his career unfold.

Alien Trespass. Set in 1957, this film looks absolutely ridiculous in the most wonderful way. Check out this movie poster:

Where the Wild Things Are

Here's the trailer for the new live-action adaptation of Maurice Sendack's 1963 children's book. It's directed by Spike Jonze and the screenplay was adapted by Jonze and Dave Eggers.
It looks absolutely amazing and I can't wait for it to hit theatres.
Goosebumps, anyone?

Dove with Green Peas ala Cardboard

Our last assignment for intro to sculpture was to recreate a Picasso painting in 3-D using cardboard.
It was really fun and I like how mine turned out. This photo isn't great but it gets the point across I suppose. I'd actually like to shrink down and run around in it - it kind of reminds me of an amusement park or an "urban landscape" as my classmate Kristy said.
