New York vs. LA (Tacos)
My long lost brother and eternal partner in crime Josh Malmuth just launched what’s probably the best blog on the internet: LostTaco.com
I won’t try to explain it, I’ll just quote the ‘about’ box:
I recently moved from Los Angeles to New York, so this is a fairly emotional issue for me. I can’t believe that there aren’t any good tacos in this city. It just doesn’t seem possible. Somewhere in New York there’s a delicious stranded taco, waiting to be found. If you can help, let me know.
Summer Jams ‘08
I know things have been quiet around here for a little bit, but we’ve been busy in the real world! Both of our events were great successes (proper reports coming soon) and CommunityShorts.com is on track for a Monday launch, but what I’ve got to direct your attention to immediately is the long-awaited release of Planet People’s Summer Mix ‘08. Boo-ya!
Yeah I know we’re not an art blog!
Sure he is a friend, but Brennan Hill is also awesome. How can you not be wooed by this gem!
You have to link to his uber to see his other work silly!
Thanks!
On Thursday night we hosted our first LA event. We called it ‘The Community Shorts’ and held it at the Evil Monito space in Echo Park that our friend Rickey Kim opened a few months ago. We showed 13 new videos from friends of ours here in LA and out in New York. Namely, Casey Anderson, Birthday Boy Presents (Craig Hildebrand, Dan Samiljan & Morgan Pritchard), Oscar Boyson, Russ Finkelstein, Brennan Hill, Int’l Waters (Jett Steiger, Eli Born & Will Campbell), Felipe & Josh, Patrick McKenzie, Carson Mell & Grant Falardeau, Phil Pinto, Red Bucket Films (Benny & Josh Safdie and Alex Kalman), Avi Rothman, and Rue Brutalia (Jon Pack & Jason Kalter). We had two screenings of the 45min program, and served drinks in the backyard.
The Evil Monito space is an old carnicería that’s been retrofitted w/ wood paneling and a huge glass façade. It worked well as a theater.
Sam Sundos came down and served drinks for us.
Thanks Sarah!
Last minute savior: Echo Park Film Center
It was cold outside (50-smthg degrees!), so we set up heaters.
Standing room only (in the back and on the top level) for the first screening.

Wrapping things up…
Patrick McKenzie and Casey Anderson helped us plan and coordinate from the beginning. Big thanks to Sylvia, Jon, Paul, and Eugene at EM. Photos (mostly) by Elise Velasco.
More about it on Rickey’s personal ‘blog‘ or on his new feed at NylonMag.com.
See you in ‘08!
OMG look what we got here!
Some of our buddies over at Red Bucket Films have been featured in Paper magazine this month. Oh yes thats right, not only are they now going to become super famous, BUT they are also showing a short of theirs at our lil ole event this Thursday. Be sure to be there or be square.
