Hello all,

You're receiving this e-mail because you expressed interest in the [N.O.]D.I.Y: Alternative Media Expo. Well, the third edition of the Expo is coming up on September 10th at TwiRoPa, and this e-mail will tell you all about it.

As always, the Expo is a multimedia show featuring a combination of exhibitors with all sorts of alternative media, music, and film. Exhibited will be things like 'zines, comics, photography, paintings, sculptures, web design, and handmade clothing. These are but a few examples, and if you dig stuff that's not made in a factory you can probably find it at the Expo.

Which bands are playing the Expo this time around? Following past Expo headliners Amerigo and Ballzack, Sun Valley Deth Trap takes the stage this time around. Rounding out the music part of the show is an artist showcase by Media Darling Records which features Bionik Brown, Soapbox, Know One, and DJs Quikie Mart and Lady Fingaz.

The third aspect of the Expo is film, and we're debuting a new BMX video titled CHRONICLES.

People are idiots.

time for jazz brunch!

Yeah guys, it's offical... we kind of... made up stuff... to uh... go to war.

Bush's military records have been found... to be uh... destroyed by the Pentagon.

But good thing Republicans* try to deregulate big business so they can participate in the nuclear black market! Does this mean we're going to attack them for WMD?

SILENT CINEMA. (http://www.silent-cinema.com)
THE GUNSHY. (http://www.sleeprecordings.com)
ANDREW BRYANT (http://www.andrewbryant.com)

silent cinema is a local indie folk new orleans band. voted #3 best band in the city by the editors of Where Y'at Magazine.
the gunshy is a one-man acoustic experiment from pennsylvania.
andrew bryant is an alt-country indie pop project from mississippi.

it's so true.

in reference to the latest batch of images from prisons in iraq:

House Majority Leader Tom DeLay, R-Texas, said he thought "some people are overreacting."

"The people who are against the war are using this to their political ends," he said.

okay, i just read a bunch of stuff on My Lai... and it seems that the current american military 'oops you weren't supposed to know that' is a similar sort of situation with pretty much the same exact dialogue surrounding it so far. looks like the military learned from their mistakes.

edit: okay one more. from jerry falwell:

"One day, I hope in the next ten years, I trust that we will have more Christian day schools than there are public schools. I hope I will live to see the day when, as in the early days of our country, we won't have any public schools. The churches will have taken them over again and Christians will be running them. What a happy day that will be!"

a super fun happy day!
it seems that in new orleans that's almost the case. except, they're catholic, so i don't think that would count.

Bill Could Bring Return of Draft

it will be just like israel - women and college students included this time around with a requirement of two years of service.
i love the irony that we're becoming a fascist military state in order to "perpetuate" liberty, freedom, and democratic principles.
i don't want to f'in serve in the military. i would leave the country. period.
civil disobdience all over your face.

Today was really awful.

I got out of bed really early because my mom was yelling at me.

I feel sad, because Megan and Eryana are complete bitches. They told everyone I have an STD, just because I slept with both of their boyfriends on Saturday night.

I'm so hardcore. Me and Seth went to the mall today, and I stole a whole heap of stuff. I got a Good Charlotte CD, a couple of DVDs and some new boots. Seth got caught, but he fought his way out, and then we stole some lady's car and smashed it into a phone booth.

Last night I had to masturbate twenty times. I'm so horny. Click here to see my website.

I want to tell the world that I'm gay.

I am making this journal friends only because I don't want the world to read what I'm writing, even though I'm posting it on the internet.

Today, I got a digital camera! Yes! Here's some photos of my cock.

I want to say thanks to the world for absolutely fucking nothing! You all suck. I feel so alone, no one ever reads this journal, or even comments to let me know that I'm not suffering alone. It's cold here, and I want to die, but I cannot figure out how many of you to take with me when I go.

I went to the doctor yesterday, and he said I have bipolar disorder, which makes me different enough to be interesting, but the same as all the other cool people with bipolar disorder.

You should all do this quiz! It's amazingly accurate. You just put in your name and birthday, and it will tell you you're a moron.

That's enough for now. But I'll leave you with some naked photos of myself. (Not safe for work - teehee).

thanks shmeenu

no really. i made a real post about how the fucking ridiculous way that my car got broken into at 5 pm in broad daylight, the ridiculousness that ensued, the police not showing up until midnight (SEVEN* HOURS LATER. SEVEN. HOURS. LATER.), the crime lab not showing up until 2am. lets just say the perpetrator was circling the neighborhood on his bike for a while afterwards. i'm not retyping it all now.

fuckers.

i'll catch up on other people's replies and such later on.

*this monkey's gone to heaven
