| (North Adams, Mass.) The Miss Rockaway Armada is a collective of artists, musicians, and adventurers-of-all-stripes who spent the summers of 2006 and 2007 journeying down the Mississippi River on a fleet of “junk-rafts.” Hailing from all parts of the country and all walks of life, the Miss Rockaway Armada is united by the desire to create; to demonstrate different ways of living and moving that are friendlier to the environment and to each other; to indulge the urge to make something out of nothing. With this spirit and energy, The Miss Rockaway Armada comes to MASS MoCA for their first project in collaboration with a museum. Being Here is Better Than Wishing We’d Stayed, a site-specific, interactive installation in the Hunter Center Mezzanine, will open to the public on Saturday, April 19, 2008, and will remain on view through March 1, 2009. In addition to the exhibition on Saturday, April 12, 2008, at 2 PM the Miss Rockaway Armada will give a performance in the vein of the impromptu circus/theater performances they staged in towns along the Mississippi. The Miss Rockaway Armada is a group of approximately 30 performers, artists, travelers, organizers and dreamers including members of the Toyshop Collective, Visual Resistance, The Amateurs, The Floating Neutrinos, The Infernal Noise Brigade, The Madagascar Institute, Cyclecide, and the Rude Mechanical Orchestra. The group describes itself as “a small group of people with extensive experience making big, insane projects.” Inspired by Johnny Appleseed, traveling medicine shows, nomadic jewel box theater, a long tradition of river raft-builders and Mark Twain, members of the Miss Rockaway Armada embarked on a seemingly impossible journey. The crew set out to meet new people and exchange ideas, art and inspiration. The collective was motivated in part by a desire to reclaim and reinvent the age-old longing to roam this vast, mysterious country. In their words, “We still live in a country that fights wars so it can consume more. We are taking the urge to flee and heading for the center.” With that in mind, the Mississippi River seemed like the perfect avenue for the artists to explore. “We suspect that there is something wildish about seeing the stars night after night from the grand old Mississippi. Yeah sure, the Colorado is prettier, and the Rio Grande is its own divide, but the Mississippi has always been the main artery of this country. We wanted to start where the blood flows straight from the heart.” The crew members began by organizing meetings, making phone calls, holding benefits, drawing blueprints, scraping up a storm of materials and building like crazy. Beginning in the summer of 2006, the collective met in Minneapolis with various raft parts, food, supplies, and most importantly, irrepressible energy and enthusiasm. With the help of friends and strangers along the way, they floated down the Mississippi River for two summers, anchoring their rafts “here and there to perform, give workshops, and create the big huge stinking spectacle we wished would have stopped in our home towns.” |

| Good news is always followed by bad news. Here's the bad: So RUNNINGSHORTS v.4 for February won't be coming out. (due to my pneumonia) I know, I know. All 10 of you people who get the fantastic 20 page zine will be so disappointed. But don't cry yet! I am going to combine v.4 with the March issue; so it will be 1 big fat 4/5 issue. Here is the good news:  |

| PINHEAD GUNPOWDER + DEATH |
| 2.14.2008 |
| It's been a while since my last blog. Today is V-day and I am sick. It all started the weekend I went to see Pinhead Gunpowder play in LA. I met two of my best friends out there for two show. 5 hrs into the trip I felt my chest cave in on me. Since then I have been sick some days and fine others. Last night was the worst though. I went to the hospital at 5AM. (I recommend going then, crazies everywhere) because I was coughing so much and my throat was killing. The doctor said I have pneumonia. Fun! I just got through taking antibiotics for the bronchitis I got when I was in LA. So now I have even more drugs to take. An inhaler, Kodine cough medicine and more antibiotics. On top of all this its Valentines Day. I feel like shit, and am probably gonna have to stay home and watch my girlfriend be upset. Because the one night of the year I am actually romantic, I feel ill. So thank you Pinhead Gunpowder! At least the shows were amazing.! |
| JANUARY RUNNING SHORTS |
| 1.30.2008 |
| Zine 3 is out for January It's a number issue. I think I am done with themes for a while. The whole concept behind the ZINE, is that it is supposed to be a 20 minute exercise for each design. I feel like numbers and fonts need more attention than 20 minutes The animation below is me trying to be clever. The last photo is blurry. I didn't notice until I was putting it together.   |
