I know it’s late news, but if everyone can make it out to City of Ink for Carla’s show, we’ll be meeting at the school at 7pm. I would anticipate everyone arriving around 7:30pm at Castleberry Hill for the show, if you’d like to just meet there.

We’re also going to try to make it to the Mason Murer Projects show, but after a day of 45-hour Reviews, I won’t be surprised if we don’t make it. Still, swing by both if you can.

Hey, my work is being featured in blog all the way from France. Check it out LOZ Blog.

Two things happening tonight, both of which you can attend if you’re so inclined. The first is the Carrie Mae Weems lecture at SCAD-Atlanta at 6pm. The second is the opening at Mason Murer Fine Art, which you can show up to a little late, if you’d like to attend both. I will probably be at Mason Murer between 8 and 8:30pm tonight, and then it’s off to dinner. No meeting at the school officially, ya dig?

Hello All,

I just found this “Vacation” package where you can pretend you are a Mexican and act like you are illegally crossing a pretend border. Yea… Anyone else see a problem in this? This kink of thing rides that line of kinda awesome, but really not so much at all.

Here’s part of the article.

Run from the Fuzz and Avoid the Slammer

In this issue:
If you’ve always wanted to live your life on the edge and are tempted to push the travel boundaries just enough to cause a little commotion, it’s never too late. Pack your bags and start alluding now about your double life; you’re going on a semi-illegal vacation.
The, four-hour night hike starts with the Mexico National Anthem. Your ‘coyote’ guide, Pancho, pulls off his black ski mask while actors gather around to scare you senseless along the way. Run from border control agents; dodge hidden actors shooting (blanks) at you, and make your way through barbed-wire fences. Survivors are blindfolded, led across a rickety bridge, and then set free to run across the border to freedom!

So yea, I’m offended and embarrassed. Although it would be pretty great to send some chosen government officials on this lovely vacation (minus the blanks). After all, apathy is always the answer.

Thanks for reading,

Robert

Hey all! I’m needing all the pretty people of PhotoAwesome to come join me and my pals for a photo Test shoot this Friday following the Mae Weems talk. Meet at the 5th floor studios at 9pm with your best 70s, 80s, or trendy punk or hip hop wear on if you’d like to be in the pictures, or just come to have fun and play around with us. I’m needing as many people as possible to re-create a disco like atmosphere, so please feel free to bring your friends! BYOF (bring your own food, drinks and real party-hopping to possibly follow).

Michael Murphy presentation of Jena b&w photos is confirmed for class on March 4. Michael’s website

If you want to walk…..

Dark Sky Magazine, an online art magazine, is featuring our very own Lindsay Appel. They take submissions on a rolling basis, and feature photography and other 2-D artists every week or so. Good news is they would love to see some more work from SCAD. Apparently their site gets viewed by artists from all over the world so get those packages together and be sure to check out their web page.

Hey people Denise Lira has some stuff to sell and asked me to post it here on the Awesome. If you’re interested (or more importantly you have money to spend) email Denise at denise@deniselira.com
