Artsy / Books Art Farts

(That title, for an art news post: Funny or idiotic? Discuss. PS it was Erik Henriksen's idea.)
Tonight at Powell's City of Books, Hannah Holmes, author of The Well-Dressed Ape. Which is disappointingly NOT about a monkey in spats, but rather an "engaging and informative guide to that oddest and yet most fascinating of primates: the human."
There's some Fertile Groundage happening tonight for all you theater folks:
-Free at the Museum of Contemporary Craft, Craft/Craeft/Kraft , a show about the various definitions of "craft," crafted by the Fuse Theatre Ensemble. (Craft.) 7 pm.-Inviting Desire, a collaborative dance performance based on "research" conducted in the field of female desire. Apparently it was TOO HOT for the Oregonian, so prepared to have your face
burned offslightly singed. 8 pm.-Action/Adventure's popular Fall of the House is back for a fourth season, STILL starring Mercury Renaissance Man Patrick Coleman, is at Theater! Theatre! 10:30 pm.
-And finally, the Chaplin-esque stylings of New Vaudevillian Thomas Schroye, whose The Sketchbook of Tommy Twimble shows tonight at the Armory, 11 pm.
See the Fertile Ground website for more info.
Also, for those of you who keep track of these things, we have a new Unpaid Arts Intern. He'll be around shortly.

I vote idiotic.
Speaking of, what happened to Sarah's column where she'd post shitty close-up pictures of fixed-gear conversions with those super cool deep-v's and arrospok's?
Also, have the new art intern introduce himself soon. I'm bored.
Art Farts.
It's funny because it means two things. And it rhymes.
I'm for it.
I vote awesome. Also funny. Fart jokes are like cockroaches. They will never die out!
