Having just gone through Richard Misrach's press preview this morning, I can say with certainty that you're going to want to hear him speak tonight at UW. (Full details here.)

Slog Tipper Mark informs us of a reading nobody knew about, coming up tomorrow: Chris Onstad, the Achewood creator, is signing copies of his new book on Saturday at the fucking Comics Dungeon between two and four. I haven't seen word one about it anywhere except on his blog. Achewood is a very funny webcomic. Like many funny things, it can occasionally be very non-funny. But I guarantee it is ninety-thrillion times funnier than Get Fuzzy, which ...

Inside a Nairobi pub recently, a folk group sang the praises of Barack Obama, hoping that their ode to Kenya's new favourite son will match the US political star's meteoric rise.In a pulsating dance rhythm -- a fusion of one-string fiddles, drums, cow horn and strident vocals -- the all-male Kenge Kenge folk troupe has produced a catchy song about the US presidential hopeful ahead of the November 4 election."In America blessing is Obama, American ...
