Click this link to go to the Canadian Center for Architectue bookstore to pick up a copy of Architecture and Ideas vol. VII which features an article by Christina P. Day, my lovely wife. Her sculpture "Bystander" is featured on the cover. Very nice. Good writing abounds inside: Susan Molesky on Richard Kroeker architect;
Blair Marsden on walking;
Ginger Nolan on re-curating the city;
Christina P. Day on looking at nothing with longing;
Aaron Horst on strage measure; and Andrea Ling : "Girl in wooden frock". Grab your copy today!
In other news, I'm wrapping up work on a feature film mix I have been working on. It's a very funny story shot a few blocks away from us here on Franklin St. Nice to see a team of filmmakers embracing the neighborhood and going all the way for a feature length film. Details will follow upon its completion.
The Sharing Show is underway every afternoon on Sprout. Early response has been very positive. The puppets are really adorable. You can beat a 3 piece house band consisting of Ricky the rabbitt on Piano, Patti the pig doing the singing, and Curtis E. Owl on the Bass. Really nicely written and produced. Go team go.
Middlehill is threatening to get together in June and record a new record, Ben and Brad don't know it yet, but they'll be coming to Philly to cut some new songs and have a few laughs. Maybe we can get John Charnota to produce? I'll have to work on that. Also, planning a trip to DC in 2 weeks. A nice weekend away with the Landaus. Looking forward to seeing the hope diamond, and getting down at the Black Cat to some new wave dance action. We're staying in the GW/Froggy Bottom area, right near the watergate hotel.

We are! After 48 hours of blood, sweat, and tears, we took home the best film award in The 48 Hour Film Project for Philadelphia! Our team, No Right Return
, was made up of Center City Film and Video Employees and their friends and family. 15 of us put in a heck of a lot of work over the course of the weekend to create "Kitchen Aide : A tale of domestic harmony", a 7 min film about loss and recovery. Chrissy and I were honored to work with such an amazing bunch of creative friends.
So glad to be able to incorporate a few Middlehill songs (thanks Brad and Ben) and a song by The Classic Brown (thanks Staci and Dave) into the film. Check out Staci Brown's myspace over there. She's amazing.
Special thanks to Jordan and the CCFV family for hiring all of us in the first place and granting us access to CCFV's amazing resources. Also, a big thanks to Mark and xlntads.com for sponsoring the project. And, thanks to the 44 other teams that submitted films to the Project. It's excellent to see so much talent in the city we love to call home.
