Show Photos: Wailers, Duane Stephenson, Dave Bess @ the Blue Moose – 2/5
It’s no shock that a Wailers show during Bob Marley’s birthday weekend is bound to be a party. When I arrived there were a few clusters of people hanging out throughout the bar, but the spaciousness was quickly eaten up by the massive crowd of people that came to hear the legendary band. In fact, I made the mistake of leaving my ‘front row’ spot, and was unable to claw and bite my way back up to the front.

Art Show Photos: Pete Schulte | Oceans And Sky @ PS1 – 2/4
Last night, Public Space One hosted the opening reception for Pete Schulte‘s month-long gallery display, Oceans and Sky. I was there early and watched PS1 slowly fill up with folks standing around, admiring Schulte’s work and devouring absolutely delicious pastries courtesy of Iowa City’s Leaf Kitchen. As I wandered around the space, I was struck with […]

Liberty Leg / Douglas Kramer Nye / Koplant_No (trio) – Public Space One – 1/26/11
Thanks to all three bands for helping us kick off our series from PS1. Unforgettable sets from all three acts in the performance space combined with the PS1 silent auction–which turned out to be one of the coolest group shows to hit IC in recent memory–made this an event we were truly proud to be a part of.

Your Town Now: The Month that was December 2010
Porter Agonistes The City Council decided to “defer indefinitely” a motion to decide on renewal of The Summit’s liquor license after Police Chief Sam Hargadine submitted a newly expanded chronicle of Porter’s deepening financial troubles. We’re not saying that the writing’s on the bathroom wall for the man who profited so handsomely during the go-go […]

Windows into Wartime
This is a book review, but it’s not about a book. Yes, it is a book insofar as it involves words printed on paper and some pictures and it’s bound and has a spine and you can hold it in your hands, but “book” doesn’t come close to describing Jesse Albrecht’s Objects for Deployment. In […]
