It all started with his grandmothers pocket watch. Luke first saw the pocket watch when he was two. At the age of five he had the dexterity to create a wanted poster for it. The pocket watch is now his in his possession, and it’s about to celebrate its 110th birthday.

The Hundred in the Hands eponymous full-length debut represents the brainchild of Brooklyn-based duo Eleanore Everdell and Jason Friedman’s fulsome grounding in semi-sparse, retro 80’s dance pop. The very same pop that’s neurologically calibrated for late “thirtysomethings” clasping on to wistful remembrances of wayfarer sunglasses, ungodly amounts of hair, and maybe even that pair of parachute pants necessitated $8,000 of therapy starting in 1990 to treat (your) subsequent dissociative identity disorder. On the other hand, this album also happens to be perfect for those who possess the oft-proclaimed, but rarely demonstrated ability, to let loose 80’s style on the dance floor with absolutely no apologies.
Leah Foster graduated from UTD as an Arts & Performance major. At UTD she experimented with different mediums and art objects, trying to find what worked for her. Cupcakes worked.
Foster had two cupcake based shows in Dallas. The first was at UTD’s Visual Arts Building, and the other at Gorilla Arts in downtown Dallas.
Leah moved to New York about three months ago and she already has a show lined up! It opens Oct. 27 at conArtistNYC. For this show she managed to cook up 10,000 cupcakes. If only I could be in New York to experience the art space in all it’s sweet-smelly glory.
The first question on every one’s mind: why cupcakes? Leah said it all started with her casually baking cupcakes to give to people.”The cupcake is a guilty pleasure, its something I enjoy baking, I enjoy looking at it, I enjoy holding it but I really don’t like eating it because I know its not good for me.”

Willie Baronet has had a haggling habit for a while now, but not with the types of people you’d expect. He doesn’t debate with hoighty toighty business types. It’s the homeless he’s after.
Willie haggles with homeless people over the price of their signs. When he happens upon a sign-wielding member of this society he inquires into the price he would have to pay for their sign. This changes the usual social relation of the situation. Homeless people are usually in the position of the un-empowered, of the beggar. Willie flips this social
