I have been over tired for the last two weeks.I can not believe myself that it is April of 2005. I will be 28 the end of this year. I am still confuse of what I want to do..Go back to school, move somewhere in the States or move far away and go goal hunting in London. Whatever choice i make, it will be with me for at least a year. I have not been able to get a hold of BB for over a month. I am scare and I am impatient and worry about everything. I guess i just have to relax and let it go with the flow onece and for all. I have to remember that I have no control over other people lives.
I found so many cool event to go to this week. One of the problems is that I don't have time or I can not afford it. Tomorrow I will be at the House of Blue to see the Honorary Title. This is going to be the third time I see them. Great tune and performance as always. Me and Pi went to Fingerprint Record store right by my house in LB on 2nd street and we accidently experienced Gratitude performed live. It was wonderful and I can not wait to see them tomorrow night with the Honorary title.
Well get back to the shows this week... check them out !
Festival
Artivist Film Festival
To celebrate activism through the arts, the second annual Artivist festival brings in 70 films from more than two-dozen countries. Topics include a myriad of social issues, some of which have become more visible lately, such as AIDS in Africa, the failure of American healthcare, sweatshop conditions, and even child slavery. The four days of screenings culminate in an award ceremony honoring socially conscious filmmakers, outstanding charitable organizations, and activist actors such as Mira Sorvino and James Cromwell. Tonight's opening features a live music performance by John Trudell and Bad Dog.
The price is various and it will be at Egyptian Theatre from Wednesday April 20 to Sunday March 24 05.

LA Time festival of Books
Who says that Angelinos read nothing but gossip rags and the trades? Just in time to cap off National Poetry Month, the Los Angeles Times Festival of Books is back again at the resplendent and expansive UCLA campus. The festival offers a laundry list of activities and appearances during its two-day stay, including a multitude of panel discussions, over 380 authors, six stages for presentations, 400 booths exhibiting thousands of books, and an event schedule that reads like a best-seller itself. Whether you're a famished bookworm, a last-line cheater, or a coffee-table tome collector, this is the place to soak up the sun and the literary fun.
Sat 4.23 (10am-6pm) & Sun 4.24 (10am-5pm) at UCLA and it's free!!
Dont Need you
While the correct number of "R"s in their tag is debatable, there's no arguing that riot grrls are a force to be reckoned with. Kerri Koch's 40-minute film Don't Need You documents the rise of grrl power in the Pacific Northwest, where they've been sticking it to the Man since the early '90s. Somewhere between a social movement and a street gang, these are the outspoken ladies who gave women's lib a punk rock spin. Bikini Kill's Kathleen Hanna — one of the movement's iconic figures — often invited women on stage at shows to discuss domestic abuse. And in addition to social change, the scene has inspired fashion, art, and the music of such bands as the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Le Tigre, and Sleater-Kinney. (JCF)

Mark of the Beast
In the first 36 hours of its life, a gosling can be convinced that a dog, a human being, and even an inanimate object is its mother. How do average Americans — likewise inundated by advertisements during their four hours of daily television viewing — possibly cleanse themselves of corporate imprinting? The answer is pretty simple, as well as entertaining. They can make a visit to Mark of the Beast, a one-night event in which local artists transform recognizable logos into hysterical spoofs of corporate America's psych-induced consumerism. Then, to celebrate their reconditioning, they can have an article of clothing silk-screened for free with the faux logo of their choice. (LG)
Where: Transport Gallery (1308 Factory Pl, 213.623.4099)
When: Sat 4.23 (7-11pm)
The Murder of Becky
This surreal performance and installation does its darndest to defy description, but it goes a little something like this: in 1903, Thomas Edison electrocutes an elephant at Coney Island, in an allegedly scientific demonstration. In 2005, acclaimed visual and performance artists Lauren Hartman and Curt LeMieux enlist five other interdisciplinary artists to create an ambitious installation piece based on the vacuous horror of that event. As the actors perform quiet, simultaneous narratives throughout the space, viewers freely enter and leave the action as they please. We're pretty sure no elephants were harmed this time.
Note: After this one-night only performance, the installation/exhibition that hosts it remains on view through Sat 5.7, during normal gallery hours.
Where : Track 16 Gallery (2525 Michigan Ave, Bergamot Station, Santa Monica, 310.264.4678

Music
Geoff White (Ghostly International)(/u)
Raised in Ohio and currently residing in Barcelona, producer Geoff White returns to tour America as one of our greatest techno exports. He's dropped an LP of dance floor burners on Spectral under his own name, and released a second album of processed guitar textures as Aeroc on Ghostly International. Tonight, he's joined by rising star [a]ppendics.shuffle, Orac Records label chief Konstantin Gabbro, RD of ELM Conceptions, and Terpsichore Group's Sariah Storm for an evening of slamming minimal techno. The night also sees the debut of brand new video work from Scott Pagano.
TRASHed: The Art of Recycling
In keeping with its progressive image, this year's Coachella festival boasts more than the coolest lineup in or out of town. TRASHed is an exhibition of original paintings by such notables as Buff Monster, Mark X Farina, and Hunter S. Thompson, but here's the real hook: all the artwork has been executed on those big, curbside recycling bins, to emphasize the importance of recycling and other environmentally friendly tactics. The Lab 101 is one of several galleries around the state showing the works before they move to the festival when it gets underway next weekend. You'll never again see 400 empty beer bottles looking this cultural.
Note: The show also is open from 11am to 6pm on Sun 4.24 and Mon 4.25.
Sat 4.23 (6-9pm)
The Lab 101 Gallery (8530-B Washington Blvd, Culver City, 310.558.0911
