Snowdecahedrons in Dewey Square Boston
This is one way to deal with snow.
Annual Bugs Bunny Festival
Although I’m sure this is really intended for kids, I think cartoon fans of all ages might find the 20th Annual Bugs Bunny Festival something fun to attend.
Starting later this month, for one week the Brattle Theatre in Cambridge will host their Annual Bugs Bunny Film Festival.
The festival features 3 different programs:
– All Bugs Revue
– Daffy Duck & Friends
– Looney Tunes Review
When: February 14 – 21 – multiple viewing times
Ticket Info: Brattle Theatre
“Untitled” (Go-Go Dancing Platform), 1991
Are you one of those guys who doesn’t like going to museums? Do you find them stuffy and boring? Maybe this exhibit in Los Angeles is more your speed.
Cuban artist, Felix Gonzalez-Torres’, takes the male body out of the gay club and into the museum. The installation at UCLA’s Hammer Museum consists of a lit-up platform, that is empty most of the time except for five minutes a day when a go-go dancer randomly appears. Unscheduled and unannounced, the performer dances to the music blaring from his headphones, inaudible to the guests at the museum. Not your typical installation for sure.
Thanks to Oscar Raymundo and his blog Confessions of a Boy Toy for bringing this story to my attention.

Museum of Fine Arts Boston is free on MLK Day
