Believe John Waters

"We need to make books cool again. If you go home with someone and they don't have books, don't fuck 'em. Don't sleep with people who don't read!" - John Waters

Bare Facts

Bare Facts, 2010



























TONIGHT! (Jeff Johnson's favorite expression.)
The Lighthouse at Chelsea Piers, New York, NY

Bound to be a fun evening, especially if we get to see Karl Lagerfeld 
in the flesh. What to wear, what to wear...

Land of Tomorrow :: Louisville Photo Biennial

Retirement Ceremony + 
Known Knowns, Known Unknowns, Unknown Unknowns
A few lovely drawings by the late Stephen Irwin flank the entrance to the show.


Tell You What is on view at Land of Tomorrow through October 30th. We heard that the September 23rd opening was a great evening, we're sorry we missed it...Mickey will fly to Luhvul Friday to attend the LOT Louisville Photo Biennial reception.










































Land of Tomorrow is an amazing space with great staff, volunteers and interns. Not to mention strong. They helped install the floor of 3000+ books. 

















The exhibition is a Leo Weekly's Daily Staff Pick and the Courier-Journal has more information on the Louisville Photo Biennial events. Take a walk on the spines of books at LOT this Friday, October 7th, reception beginning at 6pm.
