Ripley’s Believe It Or Not and Ripley Entertainment have just announced that they will be featuring world-record holding sword swallower Roderick Russell in it’s upcoming fall of 2007 publication entitled Ripley’s Believe It or Not: The Remarkable…revealed.

Making a brief stop in the middle of the night on route I-81, about 25 minutes south of the Virginia/Tennessee border, I found myself eagerly hunting down an energy drink at a convenience store. As much as they run my body down, Red Bull and Full Throttle truly have been my saviors on extensive [...]
Resurrection Cemetery is either the boldest instance of false advertising in history, else it’s precisely where I want to be buried when I die – sorry Alcor, after all these years, I may have to find God. The benefits package seems pretty good.
But wait, it gets better! Not only is the name entertaining, [...]
As a performing artist I tour the country constantly, often finding myself in a new city every day. Not having the time that leisure travel affords, I’ve been perfecting the art of Hit and Run Tourism, learning how to take in a new city as quickly as possible. While I like to see [...]
After four days in the Keystone State of Pennsylvania – during which time I had the pleasure of seeing Sharon Isbin play – and a grueling thirteen hours on the road through snow, closed highways and lack-of-sleep-induced delirium, I find myself this week in Nashville, Tennessee.
In town to book my solo show [...]
Without question my favorite and most-read blog happens to be Boing Boing. They keep me up-to-date with curious tech news, bring me bizarre and unusual stories from around the globe and I see many mentions of friends and affiliates come across their pages. I’m also a big fan of the editors individually. [...]
Dining establishments distinguish themselves in numerous ways; from the mundane and expected methods of hosting famous chefs, serving top-notch gourmet dishes and offering impeccable service, to those unusual establishments that set themselves apart by virtue of their unique and off-beat marketing approaches. Toronto’s cosplay-themed iMaid Cafe (slashfood review here) and Bradenton, Florida’s Linger Lodge, [...]
Just a quick announcement for everyone in Central Pennsylvania who has been eager to see the show: I will be performing several public shows in April in your area!
On April 22nd I will be at the Pickelner Arena in Williamsport, PA performing two shows. This event is sponsored by Clear Channel Broadcasting and [...]
Such is the sloganized dictum of the National Endowment for the Arts, driven deep into the minds of NPR devotees on an hourly basis as we listen to our favorite music, art and culture programs each day. And towards that end of supporting great art, the Bush administration is proposing $128.4 million in funding [...]
In the grand tradition of Glenn Gould’s So You Want To Write A Fugue comes a wonderfully self-referential “instructional” video on fugue writing by NYU student and chess enthusiast Danny Pi.
Created for James Gardner’s Sight and Sound course (Pi is a Film and Television student at the Tisch School of the Arts), this little video [...]

Being a traveling artist myself, I have the opportunity to see many remarkable – and many more less-than-remarkable – performances in cities throughout the world. New York City, of course, presents a profoundly high incidence of these works of public and private art, being the cultural center that [...]
I am constantly traveling and come across a wide array of unusual of often ironic signs, buildings and other structures while on the road. I’ve always been a fan of such things, and thought that I’d begin sharing some of them with you here. My apologies for not having pictures for this post.
