What's not to love?



I know this song is from almost 10 years ago, but I've been sleeping on Fiona Apple dismissing her as a more MTV friendly Tori Amos. I really like this song and this video.

Elephant School for the Arts?

Graeme, one of the guys I went to University with posted this on his Facebook.


I didn't know what to make of this, so I did what anyone would do, I Googled it.
Apparently the only thing they couldn't do on their own is pick up a paintbrush.

Get a Ticket outta town! - Tim

Last night we were at Tim's Art Spot and looking up all kinds of dance & circus on YouTube. Ani showed us this clip of the Chinese Acrobatic Ballet. As a group we flip-flopped between being amazed and disgusted. I settled on amazed, although I do believe there seems to be a food shortage - maybe they weren't giving the dancers their per diem?

NEW YORK — Wayne Frost, a hip-hop pioneer known as Frosty Freeze whose acrobatic performance with the legendary Rock Steady Crew in the 1983 hit movie "Flashdance" set off a worldwide breakdancing craze, died Thursday. He was 44.

Guest Blog from Randy & Koco



Koco: I would like to admit that I myself have a secret. I'd like to divulge my secret so that I'm no longer living a lie. I'm coming clean and it feels great! I, Koco Limbevski, secretly wish that I was Secretly Canadian
Randy: Alright, with that being said, I'd like to talk about the time that I was in Canada. I really liked that fact that when I was in Toronto, I realized it really is a spotless New York. I enjoyed the nightlife, I enjoyed the food we had at the Chinese Dim Sum. It felt like there were so many different cultures there. It made me feel like I was in New York. However, I am a little upset that I didn't make it to Circa (my former employer's current venture) for that reason, and Sara's family, I will return. Not to mention, Koco heard that there's a really large Macedonian community. I'm trying to convince Koco to come with me to find a wife.
Koco: Convinced.
