Sand Painting as performance art

It's not every day that I become aware of an entirely new art form. Well, new to me. The command of techniques and artistry on display here implies that this form has actually been around a while. 'Drawing' in sand, as a real-time performance, creating, changing, and manipulating images on the fly. Check it out. (Sadly for my vision-impaired friends, the appeal here is entirely visual, and not easy to describe.)

Date-Grab for movie party: Saturday 8/29

I have a hankering to host a movie day, on the general theme of "Black comedies with insanely murderous British aristocrats". Of which there are more than you might think :) Exact details to follow, but probably starting in the early-mid afternoon, and going on until somewhere in the 11-midnight-1 range, depending on general energy level.

Who's in?
