In Second Nature, a collection of Mary Mattingly digitaly enhanced photographs, she "looks at the distant future of the human race. After the fall of post-industrial civilization, nomads wear their homes on their backs like snails, using patched-together machines to gather resources from the ravaged environment. Forced to be self-sufficient, this new breed of human is detached from its fellow wanderers, isolated in austere but beautiful landscapes, preoccupied with the need for survival. Mattingly tempers her bleak outlook with a caustic sense of humor, making signposts for industrial conglomerates one of the few remaining traces of 20th-century culture." Continues through February 25th. Date: Thursday, January 5th Posted by Chris at 06:00 PM | TrackBack | Email to a friend How the Rich get Thin
If you're like me, you ate way too much over the holidays. If you are not like me, you constantly wonder how the rich and famous stay stick thing. Well, tonight Dr. Jana Klauer, M.D., one of New York's premier weight control doctors, discusses the diet secrets of the high society at this Borders instore to hype her new book How The Rich Get Thin. It may just be the info you were looking for. I bet one of the tips is "do not to eat leftover Christmas cake for breakfast for 3 days straight..." Maybe that's why I will never make the high society. Posted by Chris at 06:30 PM | TrackBack | Email to a friend Beer + Designers = First Thursday

Essentially its a loose collective of designers and artisist who get together, grab a beer and discuss relevent topics of interest. Anyone with an interest in design is welcome.
