In a , organizer-artist told writer Jennifer Flowers, "African-Americans have large, extensive traditions that some people are not aware of," he said. "If you don't know where you came from, you can't go anywhere. It instills pride in our young people and encourages the development of the arts.

Examining every aspect of speed, from running to motorcycling, the movie might be considered "a big-screen fix for sports fans and thrill seekers," notes Gipson. But there's more: this flick examines "the mind, body, heart and science connections of pushing the envelope of speed in several sports."
More importantly to me, Gipson sent a note addressing the Imax as a sacred medium.
He was responding to the recent begun by the Times' Alex Kent.
Gipson says of SptBlog, "I like the fact that you include views from your personal experience as a visitor and supporter--even if there is constructive criticism. It's always been my view that we need to be 'reviewed' more!
As you said in your letter to The Times, reviews are healthy and make us all give that extra bit of umph, whether it be in the delivery of a program or, oftentimes in our case, the creation or selection of a program or event as well!
"We've been open for over 6 1/2 years, and no one (to my knowledge) has ever reviewed an IMAX film here!"
If you, dear reader, have critical remarks to offer re.
SciPort or an Imax movie, please post it here. And in the meantime I'll sharpen my pen as I get ready for the .

Over the weekend Artspace offered a scifi double-feature. Mimsy Borogroves, one of my downtown correspondents, reports: "Barbarella / Rocky Horror Picture Show drew over 50 people. Three awards were flung out: Best Audience Participator: Tony Reans; Best Time Warper: A young man in a white hat with a cigar, and Best Costume: A pretty young man from Austin named "Hooker.
" A good time was had by all. Dan Garner announced we'd be doing it every Friday night at midnight. However, he's crazy.
He made that up. But we might just have to do it again."
Songwriter Tim Marshall Tues, June 28, Columbia Cafe at supper time
Enjoy pianist Lisa Daye Wednesday night, says Columbia Cafe owner Matthw Linn, who says a special guest will play Thursday.
While Linn has Columbia dining specials all week the promo that catches my eye is "Thursday 20% off all Beer! We have the largerst Beer list in North West Louisiana!
" I'm not going to dispute his investigations. But I have certainly enjoyed investigating his beers. Pleasantly, there's a 2 to 7 pm happy hour during which inspections of the beer list are encouraged.
Linn also writes "After stopping an attempted vehicular murderer with our building and fountain a few months ago we are now repaired and better than before. Leonard Service completed and installed the new " Rays of Light" fountain Thursday June 23. Icing on the cake: it's a better-than-the-original rehab of our old water works system.
"
Emailing Linn for why he described the assailant thusly brought this response: "Person in stolen 71 Chevy pickup running from ten police cars tries to run over two people walking across the street in front of LSUMC. He crosses the double yellow to try and hit them; they run/jump out of the way and he misses them. He then hits three cars at Line avenue.
Traveling east bound he does a 310 degree turn at Creswell avenue. Under full throttle he goes over my fountain and under my building, taking out three pier supports. He gets out and runs away.
The passenger gets caught and says he was a hitch hiker with bad luck. They catch the driver a few days later and charge him with two counts of attempted vehicular homicide , three counts of hit and run and two counts of property damage. I pay for everything cause he has no insurance, no money.
"
Ah, the art of operating a fine dining establishment.

In an ideal world, yes. A schooled writer, in a perfect world, would visit Artspace and analyze the use of the space and write about it. The show by local artists in Coolspace would also get its turn under the purview of a critic.
Performances would br reviewed, too. How else to know, really, how well we're doing?
Times writer Alex Kent, a schooled critic who is sent out to write about plays and symphony concerts, has asked for feedback about the role of the critic.
The Times has printed a goodly array of letters - see the - on the importance of critical reviews.
A year ago the Times killed all reviews after a long history of providing next-day feedback about a variety of arts performances. This year editor Alan English has brought reviews back.
I applaud English for repairing the damage and for offering the community a high level of discourse.

As much as I treasure the art of evaluation, it cannot be my role to write as a critic at SptBlog. The reasons are twofold: a) I want to make and display my own art.
I want to participate. The ideal critic is one who is fully an observer. b) I have too many friends in the art community.
A proper critic should not be inhibited by a plethora of connections.
That said, I would like to encourage readers to submit critical reviews to SptBlog. As a small example of what I'm thinking, please see my , my recent Coolspace production.
There's been a big outpouring of art lately. And much of the art being shown is not terribly worthy stuff. If there were a good critic writing about why certain pieces are accomplished and why other pieces are in need of improvement, we might see significant growth on the part of local artists.
: site of the world famous Tipitina's night club. As you can see, it's not swank. A number of us have passed some very sweaty times dancing our liquid tails off in that building.
Tip's is one of the success stories of New Orleans. Somehow it has managed to beat the numerous curses that bonk businesses in the Crescent City.
Today Tip's has spawned a Foundation, and a Music Co-op.
And of course they built a giant catering truck. Life in Louisiana might well become intolerable without Creole cooking.
Thursday, June 30, a bit of New Orleans comes to Shreveport via that catering truck, called Big Blue.
It will serve diners out side of 700 Texas St, Shreveport's Tipitina's Foundation Music Office Co-op. It's the grand plie' of Tip's Co-op Shreveport.
Dan Garner, executive chef for the local office, promises free food and beverages, live music, and tours of the facility starting about 2:30 pm.
Tipitina’s Music Office Co-Op is a business
development and job skills training program for musicians, filmmakers, and other digital media professionals, says Todd Souvignier, Tip's NO-to-Spt bagman. Memberships are $10 per month.

The is a Chicago film and video artist project. Unlike many big league art nodals, they are endeavoring to present work "in a fun and intimate environment.
" They claim "We believe the monthly screenings encourage community and collaboration not only between filmmakers, but musicians, printmakers, and writers, as all these mediums have been a part of the Ice Capades experience. Chicago's Ice Factory, home of Fresh Produce Records, hosts the season's screenings between February and May. Additionally, the Ice Capades welcomes touring programs through the summer and fall.
"
Sounds like a model for Shreveport.
Video is to be followed by the trio . No BBQ as far as I know.
But the downtown garage streetcorner BBQ potential is enormous at Tip's.

A lot of us want to support the arts, but we can't really afford to unleash our inner philanthropist just yet. That's why we put this together when Lil Joes offered us the venue."

Listening to their new cd, Roadhouse Quintessential, I keep finding songs that make blackberry pie out of the moldy hashbrowns of my rock and roll memories.
Catch them Friday, June 17, at Lil Joes Tavern.
"Racina, wearing those high heels and sexy hose," is the story of a pixillated woman composed in a style that evokes the Doobies, the Beatles and the Association.
As I review the album I keep going back to Racina and floating on the harmonized vocals and twin guitars of McKinney (Retroverb) and Maranto (EST, Retroverb) and the thick organ of Mike Gauthier (Stepping Stones). Bryan Shelby and Don Echols, to be sure, are doing their part. But the guitar/organ/vocals scheme of Gypsy Mountain is evocative of all the best pop/rock I know.
Quintessential Roadhouse is immediately listenable.
"Lonely lover" is a channeling of the Eagles and LynrdSkynrd. The Steve Miller Band is all over "Back side of the way.
" "Lady of the night," has Van Morrison energy. Some of the compositions start off clunky and literal-minded and a bit stiff, such as "Not giving up" and "Melanie makes a choice." Somehow partway through each song the Gypsy sound has wrapped me up and I'm getting up to move round the floor.
"I like them!" exclaims my excitable partner and connoisseur of 60's rock, Talbot, as I turn up my favorite cut, "Racina."
You are not going to wrap your arms around "Racina" unless you buy the album.
But you can audition four nice cuts at .
(Philadelphia) at Lil Joes Tavern on Thursday night. Representing the southern end of the galaxy in this show will be Mars Vegas.
Music will start around 9:30 pm.
Make sure you are 21 or size 21+.
Only $5 from your sleeping roommate's wallet, snorts Roman, the wily bassist for MV.
The Philadelphia-based band The Teeth have been, says , unofficially declared “the toast of the town” (Philadelphia weekly) and termed “defiantly original” (Morning Call).
Their music is an eclectic brand of rock and pop stylings.
Who has influenced this dentalist group? Not the Who, but the Kinks, Talking Heads, Radiohead, The Velvet Underground, The Beatles, Sly Stone, Nirvana, and Elvis Costello.
Listening to Bales's songs on , I get the distinct feeling that he'll pick up new friends in Shreveport. His music is smart country-folk rock. With witty lyrics and comfortable melodies, the mid-tempo music is easy on the ears.
Catch him solo at Th, June 16, at 7 pm, as part of the House Concert series. It's a great gig; music, sandwiches and beverages, comfortable chairs and pristine acoustics - and it's all happening early. Highly recommended, based on my sampling.
Your host is the terrific owner, Dana McCommon, as well as Alan Dyson and friends from Red River Radio, KDAQ. More info: 220-0400. Or email dana@fairfieldstudios.
