Tha Prizzle

This may begin a series of posts about Prague. In which ancient and lovely city I spent the last week (got back last night). I say "may" because I'm not sure about it. While I find the idea of an American student going abroad for spring break and then writing about it on his blog (his blog!) to be the instant definition of triteness in the XXI century, I am nonetheless full of shit to say about Prague and, by God, you may have to read it. I'm fickle and spontaneous in this way. Consenting to nothing but that I go where my heart shall yearn. It adds and air of mystery to me, and it's why the ladies like me...I'm a loner Dottie, a rebel.

Anyway. Here are two kick-ass art related things that I will link too. I'll talk more about them later. But suffice it to say I was lucky enough to see a bunch of cool shit while in Prague, and this is some of it.

The first is performance group Krepsko (website here). I saw their show "Mad Cup of Tea" and it was magnificent. I can only hope that they make a DVD, as I rarely get a chance to go to theatres in Prague on my weekends. Seriously, how can I return to the muted visual and audio tones of mere mundane existence knowing that such expression thrives elsewhere? I submit to you that I cannot.

The Second is this dude, Jeremiah Palecek. He is both a stand up guy (who will talk to Russians with you outside a store at 6am), and excellent painter, his stuff is here. There's a new painting--and sometimes a plush Star Wars huggable character of dubious quality--every day!
