What an awesome video...Zack sent me No Age's "Eraser" video and it makes me want to film something slow motion and destructive. There is a nice touch of psychedelic in it too..my fav.

North Park artist Jessica Sledge has just finished a sculpture called"Good News" with gold leaf and an old television. It's located in the alley between Idaho St. and Utah St., just south of Polk Avenue and will be up as long as it can dodge alley cruisers and the city. If you go to look for it, leave a comment below about what you found.
