It's Video Wednesday!
What a perfect week to kick off the latest, greatest feature of One Night Only - Video Wednesday!
Tonight, the ICA is hosting their Open Video Call event. With submissions ranging from ultra-pro artsy stuff to amateurs filming each other walking dogs or something, this annual event is sure to ... uh, well... not sure to please, per se, but sure not to bore. (That was a terrible phrase....)
In the past, the selection process for this event was first-come-first-served, so whoever were the first, say, 20 people in line (or something like that) got their videos shown at the ICA. This year, the process is a bit different. Submissions were accepted up until last week and juried by New York artist, Michael Bell-Smith. Accepted submissions will be screened tonight.
Anyway, on to Video Wednesday. Life is short, so every Wednesday, or at least, during weeks when I feel like blogging, I plan to dose you up with videos I feel that you need to see before you die. To start, here's a video my friend Breanna Copeland created:
And now, an entire box full of kittens:
Finally, I'd like to show you something else:
That's it for this week. If you find any great videos, be sure to send them along so I can post them next week! Otherwise, I'll see you tomorrow for The Weekly Love of My Life.

Gord Bless America
I'm glad these people are out there defending the integrity of the English language against those evil, non-English-speaking foreigners.
Holy projected video installation, Batman! Plastic Fantastic's at the ICA!
You don't want to miss the kick off event for this year's POST (Philadelphia Open Studio Tours). Live performance, cake, and various other celebratory trappings are to be expected for the opening of what will be the tenth annual POST event, but you should especially check out Plastic Fantastic (the installation and video work of Philadelphia artist, Diedra Kreiger) for a guaranteed good time.
Kreiger will also be participating in the open studio tours, so you can stop by Copy Gallery (in the Vox building) on the 3rd and 4th to see her work. She asks that visitors attend at least 2 open studios before coming to Plastic Fantastic, and plan to attend at least one more afterward.
I'd give you a description of what to expect, but then I'd just be ruining the surprise.

I'm back.
Sorry for the hiatus. Actually, I'm not that sorry. It's not that big a deal.
October is going to be a very busy month.
As far as the shameless self-promotion bit is concerned, Sandy Frank Program Sales Formerly Known As The Sandy Frank and Gladys Experience Formerly Known As The Trusty Haybails, the musical group that Sandy Frank and I started in 2005, will be performing at our housewarming party on October 3rd. So, come on out. The theme is "The Communist Party", so interpret that as you will.
Also, as my first show comes down this weekend at Angel Studios, I'll be participating in a number of small shows throughout October, so here are the dates so you can be sure to attend EVERY SINGLE EVENT:
October 2nd - Top Hat (Old City) - Small works in the $25 budget arena
October 9th - Midwives Gallery (South Philly) - Acting 201, a one night only photography show
October 19th - City Hall (uh... Center City?) - Fairmount Park's Colonial Elite; reception 5-7pm on the 5th floor.
Oh, and look for me on the red carpet at the Barrymore Awards on October 6th along with my colleagues from the collaborative project for Scorched at Wilma. Maybe we'll even win something! (We've been nominated for "The Ted and Stevie Wolf Award for New Approaches to Collaborations.")
I will be speaking at the annual Visionary Woman Awards Gala at Moore on October 7th, so I'll let you know how that goes.
On the 13th, I'll be participating in a public panel in conjunction with a film screening as part of The Galleries at Moore's Art for Lunch series, so don't miss your chance to see me humiliate myself not only in front of my peers, but my advising professors as well.
