1. Who is who, and why do they do it?

    Early writers of pulp science fiction use pseudonyms for a variety of reasons. There are three main types, which are the collaborative pseudonym, the floating pseudonym, and house names. A collaborative pseudonym is one that stands for two or more authors who work collectively on a story. A floating pseodonym is one that is available to anyone who wants to use it. A house name is a variation of a floating pseudonym, where a publishing company will often use such a name to cover the fact that there are two contributions by the same author. Another reason might be that the contributor does not want others to know he or she has stories published in a certain framework.
    I am currently looking for one.

  3. Today’s reading: The Dance of Shiva

    May 24, 2010
    by Jeanne-Salome Rochat

    “In the night of Brahma, nature is inert, and cannot dance till Shiva wills it: He rises from his rapture, and dancing sends through inert matter pulsing waves of awakening sound, and matter also dances appearing as a glory round about him. Dancing, he sustains its manifold phenomena. In the fulness of time, still dancing, he destroys all forms and names by fire and gives new rest. This is poetry; but none the less, science.”

    Coomaraswamy, Ananda, “The Dance of Shiva; fourteen Indian Essays”, 1970, Munshiram Manoharlal Publishers, New Dehli.

Dance or performance art, queer or curious- don’t judge it- just lay back, relax, get comfortable and then get uncomfortable. In a good way.

    Performances by: Jack Ferver; Lee Kyle; Ryan Lawrence & guest; Ryan McNamara; Jason Akira Somma; and Joshua Weidenmiller and Company.

    Tickets: $10 ($5 members) may be purchased at DNA (280 Broadway) or by visiting www.dnadance.org.

  6. L.A. day 1

    May 20, 2010
    by Maxime Buchi

    Invited by Vans for the launch of their new line “OTW”, I arrived around 2pm, got in a limo driven by a friendly russian man, waited for 2 hours in the restaurant of the Standard Hotel in Downtown LA (cause my room wasn’t ready), ate a very tasty tuna steak hamburger which didn’t taste like tuna, got the room which ended up being a suite (complimentary upgrade—yeah yeah, you mean you overbooked and now you cant find a room for me!), took a shower, tried to check my emails on the hotel’s 96k dial modem network, phoned up Sang Bleu friend & visual artists Scarlett Rouge, got a text message from Gary Warnett, went down to his room to pick him up, both of us went down to the parking to meet up with Scarlett.

    The the three of us drove (not literally. Scarlett drove for us. Thanx by the way!) to Hollywood where Cerre Shop was celebrating its first birthday, looked at some beautifully designed & crafted, and uniformly black clothes, got to the back of the store where a little apéritif was taking place, got some drinks, went to grab a bite with G while S was going to a dinner, had endless conversation about the world of entertainment with a zoned out Gary, returned to Cerre where a tipsy Scarlett—back from her dinner—showed us around, introduced us to the neighbours, the Black Eyed Peas’ closet, took a 30$ cab ride to the hotel and fell asleep in 20 seconds.

    Please find proofs displayed hereunder.
