DJV said he was afraid of clowns or something so he doesn't want to go. Who wants to go with me? INFO


Referring to the old John Waters adage asserting that entertainment is inseparable from bad taste, few bands exercise that sentiment to the extent that does Ssion. Ssion (pronounced "shun") is a 10-years-strong art-punk dance, design, and film collective from Kansas City, Missouri, headed by Cody Critcheloe. The group has gained notoriety not only for its gay-disco-meets-punk-rock musical stylings, but also for its outrageous stage shows and videos, which incorporate a harem of dancers and backup singers, comically cheap homemade props, supersized video projections, over-the-top costumes and makeup, and a visual sense of wonder recalling something between the twisted humor of Pee Wee's Playhouse and Madonna's Blond Ambition.

the biggest nerd alert of them all!!!!

After ten years of advocacy, planning, and construction, the High Line is opening. Section 1 of the High Line (from Gansevoort Street to 20th Street) will open Tuesday, June 9, offering visitors the chance to preview the park, which is still under construction. (highline)

In short, it is the kind of straightforward, thoughtfully conceived building that is all too rare in the city today. (nytimes)
