On "Who Took The Bomp: Le Tigre On Tour"
Sunday night, Oscilloscope Laboratories and Ace hotel hosted a free screening of Who Took the Bomp: Le Tigre on Tour. The aforementioned Manhattan cool kids/hip tourists spot lived up to it’s reputation to this first time visitor (though showing free movies on Sunday is a pretty great way to cozy up to me).

Half of 3-6 year old girls think they're fat. ...
My friend Mimi, whom I adore and quoted a while back, just sent me an article by Lisa Bloom entitled “How to Talk to Girls.” But first some context.
Yesterday, I was on the stairmaster, where I often think about patriarchy. Yep, you read that whole sentence right. On the screen on the treadmill in front of me (I hate treadmills), E! was showing highlights from the Miss America...

WatchHere’s a really wonderful video about the art and mind of George Andrus who is the inspiration for Otis in Some Days Are Better Than Others. While I could have written about George, as McCormick affectionately talked about him when we met, nothing I could compose would give you the same endearing and fun jaunt into George’s world. Otis was played by David Wodehouse, a retired cruise...

Matt McCormick, director of Some Days are Better...
If I could have a conversation with Matt McCormick, the filmmaker behind the visual poem about the interconnected lives of four lonely characters, Some Days Are Better Than Others [my review at the link], anywhere in New York, it would be in Gowanus. Not to sound scary as I’ve been told mob corpses used to float about the canal, but the up and coming neighborhood of industrial wasteland...
