Idaho Bar Raided for Violating Ordinance

Idaho Bar Raided for Violating Ordinance
(AP)
04/05/2005 02:20 PMAP - Art night at Erotic City apparently wasn't artistic enough.
Police raided the Boise bar Monday night for violating the city's
nudity ordinance, which requires that dancers wear at least pasties
and a thong unless they are engaging in a performance with "serious
artistic merit."

06/18/2004 04:05 PMThis comes to me from a reliable source, though I would very much like
it if it were mistaken.
Apparently Microsoft has taken the first steps to filing a criminal
defamation action against a Brazilian government official who was
quoted criticizing Microsoft in a magazine article. Sergio Amadeu,
head of the agency responsible for spreading free software within the
Brazilian government, is
reported to
have accused "the company of a 'drug-dealer practice' for offering the
operational system Windows to some governments and cities for digital
inclusion programs. 'This is a trojan horse, a form of securing
critical mass to continue constraining the country'."
He's also quoted characterizing Microsoft's strategy as a "strategy of
fear, uncertainty and doubt."
These statements have apparently earned Mr. Amadeu the right to defend
himself in a defamation action. Microsoft
characte
rizes Amadeu's statements as "beyond being absurd and criminal"
and as evincing an "excess in freedom of speech and freedom of
thought." "Freedom of speech and freedom of thought" is, Microsoft
apparently believes, properly prosecuted in Brazil, and so it has
brought this first step to prosecute the "felony of defamation"
evinced by Amadeu's words.
Such words could not rise to the level of defamation in the United
States; I would be surprised if they were defamation in any sane
state. But whether they are defamatory in Brazil or not, it is wrong
for this company to use the law to silence a critic. In the American
tradition, we meet bad speech with more speech, not with more lawyers.
We should all teach Microsoft something of our tradition, by meeting
its bad speech -- a defamation action against a critic -- with lots
more speech criticizing it.

The City of God (#29

about life in Brazilian
"favelas" (shantytowns) where poverty, drugs,
violence and crime rule the streets. At murder rates of more than 40
per 100,000, one person shot every 30 minutes in the city, Rio ranks
as the world's
most
dangerous places along with Cali, Colombia and Johannesburg, South
Africa. Rio has over 600 favelas and the crime and violence is
becoming so bad corporations are
fleeing the city while the
military is under direct assault
and the
prison system is
breaking down. Favela

Sun City Girls
Sun City Girls
05/06/2004 10:24 AMBB pal Erik Davis has posted the full text of a feature he wrote for
The Wire about the Sun City Girls, the most eclectic, prolific, and
weirdest cowpunkers the southwest has ever unleashed:
"Sun City Girls traffic with bizarre miscegenations, self-indulgent
trash, and hardcore mystic exotica. Their sometimes garish album
covers attack the eye with devils, yonis, sacred transvestites, and
nubile native jailbait. Lyrics, song and album titles -- 'Naga Smoke
Signals,' 'The Genghis Necro-Nama-Khan,' 330,003 Crossdressers from
Beyond the Rig Veda -- can sound like the spontaneous verse of young
poetes maudites tanked up on National Geographic cheesecake and A
Pictorial History of Magic and the Supernatural. This lurid romance
with the Other fuels some of their most incandescent sounds as well, a
music of transport that explores Middle Eastern, Southeast Asian, and
South American atmospheres with a passion composed equally of informed
pleasure and the heedless appropriation of the strange. Looking high
and low, far and wide, the Sun City Girls have sought the wellsprings
of the weird, of what H.P. Lovecraft called outsideness, and when they
have found them, they have taken what they wanted."

Over at the blog "A Month Full Of Wednesdays" I noticed a post describing a recent Minneapolis call for
music and video to play in stations and a recent call
for artwork for Cleveland's public transit. The post mentions an
idea to extend Cleveland art requests to include audio for use in
stations and the transit authority's hold system.
The author mentions that Creative Commons licenses would be a good
idea to level the playing field and allow the municipal companies to
share the music with others on their site freely. We can't help but
agree; these projects calling for artwork, music, and video for public
transportation ask creators to contribute their work for the good of
the community, much like our licenses do for the good of a greater
culture.

Pictures from an impromptu trip to Barcelona; part 1 and
part 2.
The vast majority of photos were taken with the Lomo LC-A since it
isn't an expensive looking camera and I didn't really want to get
mugged like a friend of mine had only a week earlier in Madrid. I was
aiming for fun and random holiday snapshots that would be a bit more
unusual than the average. Hopefully they'll also be a pleasant memento
for Jessica in the years to come. :)
It all started so innocently as a Sunday outing to see Return of
the King for the umpteenth time which led to a few drinks
afterwards to ponder the dreamy Aragorn and Legolas. Jessica talked
about going back home and lamenting she didn't travel more while she
was here. In particular, she had wanted to see the Temple de la
Sagrada Família before heading home. After a couple of beers my guard
was down and somehow between then and the next afternoon, we had cheap
tickets to Barcelona
departing the following Monday. It seemed like a crazy thing to do,
but without a compelling reason not to go the 'why not?' directive was
applied.
As a seasoned traveller, I tend to judge cities/places by two things;
food and restrooms. Barcelona wasn't exceptional in either food or
restrooms but were mostly agreeable. I had been to Madeira only a few
weeks earlier which was exceptionally good on both counts and may have
coloured my judgement. We spent the week wandering around La Rambla,
going to architectural gems designed by Antoni Gaudí and eating. At
some point we went shopping for a few things in a local grocery and I
had to stare at the selection of wines which ranged from 1.50 euro to
6 euro. I bought a bottle of the 1.50 wine just to determine if it was
drinkable and it was quite pleasant. I don't know what would happen in
Finland if there were shelves full of 1.50 euro bottles of wine in the
grocery stores. We went out to find the nightlife one evening and
discovered the one bar in the entire city of Barcelona that had
Helsinki drink prices just because I think we were missing home so
much. :)
La Rambla is the center of town where there are purveyors of
magazines, newspapers, porn, flowers for any occasion including for
the departed, chickens, roosters, bunny rabbits, fish, lizards,
roosters, pigeons, and parakeets, along with buskers, street artists
and touristy crap to suit any taste or fetish. La Rambla was named
after a seasonal stream [from the Arabic 'raml'] that used to flow
there which seems appropriate with the seasonal ebb and flow of
tourists. I took a number of photos on La Rambla and in the Mercat de
la Boqueria since they were vibrant places of people and activity.
Markets fascinate me since you can a lot about a culture from looking
at the kinds of food they have available. Food is at the center of
daily life and culture.
Barcelona is the center for the architectural movement called
'Modernisme' and those who practised it were the 'Modernistas'. It was
a form of Art Nouveau and it is quite amazing. We spent most of the
week visiting the works of Antoni Gaudí. The most impressive of his
works is not yet finished, The Temple
de la Sagrada Família. It is projected that it will be finished by
2048 and, by the looks of the construction, it will be worth the wait.
Gaudí clearly loved trees and the pillars inside form a canopy which
will be tiled and gilded to complement all the other organic forms all
around the temple. We went up into the tower and my vertigo provided
some entertainment for Jessica. Park Güell
was designed to be a modern utopia, but it was never finished. What
does exist is intriguing in it's planning and implementation of public
space and walkways. Casa Battló, La
Predrera and Palau
Güell were all amazingly different and inviting. The apartment in
La Predrera was nice enough that I'd move in tomorrow. In particular,
Gaudí's innovation in introducing natural light into all parts of a
living space and organic forms was outstanding. His work makes me wish
that such care and consideration of the natural forms were more common
in modern buildings.
The tourist bus was amusing as when we got on the bus after a few
dull and desolate hours at Poble Espanyol there was an American couple
reading out of a guide book about how the place wasn't really worth
going to which we confirmed. :) As the neverending bus tour continued,
the woman was clearly not very entertained. At the Palau Güell, there
was a perky American college girl [with the accent and the attitude I
will guess Vassar] leading her parents around the tour to show off her
edumacation [sic]. It was bad enough to hear her loudly say "y'all",
but when she and her parents exclaimed, "You're English is so
good!", in a tone of amazement to the tour guide, Jessica had
an epiphany as to why I never travel as, nor admit to being, an
American anymore except to those who need to see my passport.
In late January, the number of tourists was at a low point and many
of the attractions were being repaired for the high season, but we
still had a good time visiting a city with so much history. I could
have been entertained by sitting in the market or hanging out on La
Rambla for a week as well.

“So I needed to buy a DVD player on New Years Eve 2000 (going

to go to Circuit City (the 14th Street Union Square store). At that
time they had a promotion that if one bought a 26” TV or bigger,
you would get a free DVD player. This I felt was the perfect
opportunity to upgrade my crappy 20” TV so…

feel that way while watching it.
