Spencer Elden Art Show this Saturday in LA
If you are in the LA area, my friend, former co-worker, and Nirvana Baby… Spencer Elden is doing an art show/slacker fiesta on Sat. As you can see from the flyer it is a posh black tie, I mean black t-shirt, affair, so dress accordingly. Admission is free unless you wear a v-neck tee, in which case there is a strictly enforced $2 pretense charge. And yes, Spencer really is the Nirvana Baby and a solid artist, despite the lack of effort on this flyer.-Shepard

Affordable Care Act Vs. ObamaCare
I always enjoy Jimmy Kimmel, but his segment exposing people’s semantic vulnerability was especially amusing and terrifying. The piece asks people which they prefer, the Affordable Care Act or ObamaCare (they are the same thing). Certain Republicans and people like the Koch brothers have bombarded the public with so much disinformation that most people dislike the name “ObamaCare” but like the ideas contained within it. Get the facts… don’t believe the hype! Check it out.

Iggy and the Stooges 2013
I can’t ever do enough for Iggy and the Stooges, so I jumped at the opportunity to do the poster for their upcoming headlining gig in San Jose at the C2SV Festival Sept. 28. If you have never seen The Stooges live, they are phenomenal, and you should pick up a ticket RIGHT NOW! The Coup, Off!, and a bunch of other great bands are playing too. For more information about performers appearing at the C2SV Music Festival, which will take place September 26-29 at various venues in Downtown San Jose, please visit c2sv.com/music/artists/
The Stooges poster is an edition of 450 and comes out Sept. 26 on obeygiant.com where 250 will be available. with the other 200 available on site at the C2SV Festival. My friend Robert Matheu shot the portrait of James Williamson and Jennifer Anderson took the Iggy photo.
