See our feature today? We're nuts for the letter B. So's a bandit in Isreal, who, crazed for peanut butter-flavored snack Bamba, picked a lock to a convenience store that was closed for the night and ransacked the place for a fix. Read more | Comments (4)
Literally everyone I know in Barcelona has been robbed or mugged at least once in the last six months. No one really talks about it anymore. I guess it's a bit like living in a warzone or with monsoons--you're so absorbed in rebuilding the family home every 18 months that the reason why ceases to be such a big deal.

Night Gallery was the follow-up show to the Twilight Zone and featured Rod Serling in an art gallery, unveiling paintings that depicted the story ahead. This may or may not have something to do with Night Gallery the band. Read more | Comments (13)
I’m not sure if you remember last year when I showed you the guy in my neighborhood whose house is covered with Christmas lights or not. But here it is again. Read more | Comments (13)
Gerald and John Beckett are known as Pete and Repeat, the two hobo brothers of Parkersburg, West Virginia. They’re 71- and 73-year-old retired nomads with identical hunched stances and scruffy white facial hair.

More than 150,000 Czechoslovakians and other nationalities decided fleeing the Iron Curtain was worth the risk of barbed-wire barricades, electric fences, mines, and other death traps.
When the Japanese hairstylist Shinji Konishi first molded wigs into the likenesses of assorted animals for a gallery show in Tokyo in 2008, he hoped repulsion would trump all else.

Well, we can finally close off that three week rollercoaster that was our 15th Year Anniversary. Big thanks to everyone that came out to our parties in Vancouver, Toronto and Montreal -- the overwhelming response was a bit more than we expected, and we're sorry to those of you who couldn't get past our massive line-ups into the parties. But don't worry, your hatred twitters (or tweets or whatever) did hurt our feelings a little bit. Or maybe that was just our hangovers.
It goes to show that a mixture of beer, vodka, whiskey and Red Bull can provide the essential rocket fuel for an event, because all 3 of them really, um, "took off" as the night wore on. You can probably tell by looking at all the event photos that got stockpiled here.
