Calling All Cleveland Vegans!

Lindy Loo — Thu, 29 May 2008 08:57:04 -0600

Are you a vegan who lives in the Cleveland area? Do you wish you knew more vegans you could share your concerns with, socialize with, or just plain ol' sit around and bullshit with over a beer or two? Not a vegan but seriously interested in learning more about the lifestyle? Well, have we got the meet-up group for you!

Come check out CLEVELAND VEGANZ!

Cleveland VeganZ is a monthly social networking event for people interested in promoting veganism and/or just getting together with like-minded individuals to chat over a beer. We hope that, by opening up a space for vegans to gather together, we can build new coalitions, problem-solve issues in our lives surrounding veganism, just plain ol' bitch and moan if need be, and most of all MEET OTHERS WHO SHARE OUR VALUE SYSTEM AND BOOZE IT THE HELL UP!

Our plan is to organize some sort of Friday night drinking event once a month, location TBA (but a new location each month), so that we can all gather, meet new vegans in the Cleveland area, and well, booze it up and unwind.

Our first event will be at the Lava Lounge in Tremont at the end of June. Keep an eye on our website for time and date. (Or you can just sign up for our mailing list and WE'LL notify YOU.)

Calling all Tremont Landlords!

Adam Harvey — Wed, 26 Mar 2008 16:56:50 -0600

One initiative derived from the Tremont Round Table sessions:
Consolidate all available rental units into a single location to help
sell the neighborhood and speed the pairing of landlords and tenants.

Free of charge, list your property with Southside Concierge.
Southside Concierge fields tenant leads daily and by listing your
property you have access to these leads with no cost or effort.

Also, don't forget the "Welcome Kit" gift bags.
Order one for your
new tenants and they
will receive a gift bag of goodies filled with neighborhood savings, relocation
information, and more...

You can also list your rental property on Craigslist or Tremonter for free.

Craig Colorusso performing "MB 89" at Visible Voice Books:

MB 89

I think it started when I was a kid. I had a mild
interest in sports. I was amazed to find out that innings get added to
a baseball game when there is a tie. But what was really amazing was
that they keep adding them on until there's a winner. The thought of a
game lasting a few days was great. I thought it would be really cool if
the game lasted a year.

And what if the game lasted several
years? I had a vision of all these baseball players running around in
weathered uniforms and long white beards. Now that would be something;
to continue a game for the rest of your life.

MB 89 is an attempt for me to play a continuous piece of music that spans the greater part of my life.

Unlike
a composition with a discrete beginning and ending that may be played
over and over, MB 89 is a composition played once, continuously; spaces
between performances are to be treated as musical rests.

Instead of many starts and finishes there is constant music. Thus MB 89 is a reference point in my ever-changing life.

MB
89 is not to be merely conceived, written, and performed. Rather, I
have just realized MB 89's presence in my life and have decided to
acknowledge it. It will be an ongoing endeavor for the rest of my life.

The
first MB 89 performance was a series of live radio broadcasts on the
UMASS radio station WMUA. Mike Burke DJ extraordinaire was a neighbor
of mine when I first moved to Northampton. We quickly became friends
due to our late night talks about music. So every Thursday in August
1997 MB 89 was broadcasted from Mike Burke's radio show.

Since then, the presentation of MB 89 has evolved into a timeless environment for people to enter and exit at will.

The
concept for thisinstallation is to create a space of subtle movement
where people can be part of the environment and absorb MB 89 any way
they like.

A Cylindrical mass of metal and fabric will stand in
the room, from within the cylinder will be a Bass Clarinet generating a
drone with electronics. Lights will accompany the drone. It will be a
4-hour performance.

The performance is presented in 4-hour
increments and is designed for the audience to come and go as they
please. It is best to find a space in the room and listen for a while
leave and then come back.
