Steven Leigh Morris following Fleck

After performance artist John Fleck's "Side Effects May Include ..." at the Boston Court Tuesday afternoon, LA Weekly theater critic at large -- his title since being de-staffed in an economizing move -- Steven Leigh Morris held an onstage conversation with him in front of Sasha Anawalt's latest class of NEA-funded arts writers from around the country.
Morris is a playwright as well as journalist, and had once cast Fleck in the lead in one of his plays -- a fact Fleck didn't recall. "You had to take a TV gig at the last minute," Morris recalled with a laugh. The prospect of real money -- always a threat to the not-much-pay production. (That's Fleck in a "Star Trek" TV role above.)
"It would be comforting to think we were in this mess because technology has made what we were before obsolete, a natural and healthy evolution," Morris said in an address on the state of the print media. "But I'm not convinced print media is obsolete," mostly because Buffalo, NY is very different from Beaumont, TX, and the universalism of the Web doesn't feel as local as the best sorts of local papers -- let's say The Stranger in Seattle -- do. ... "Our job as arts journalists is to stand shoulder to shoulder with artists. ... The inability to tell the truth is the greatest threat to journalism and a democratic and open society. Let's work together to reinvigorate this wonderful profession of ours."

Loved your article about public art. I totally agree with you. Why do we need permanent obtrusive pieces there anyway? I am not opposed to temporary art that can be seen for awhile and then taken away.

I changed techs given that after a few years of Intense pulsed light, I realized the results weren't worth the cost. And then I invested in the silk'n hair removal. They guarantee that after 2 yrs in the event that hair grows again, all the treatments are actually cost-free. They've got both fractional laser and Ipl, but I want to stay with laserlight now as Ipl didn't seem to decrease the quantity of hair returning.

I had been originally treated by using Intense pulsed light which often is not the most practical method for hair removal. I began with whole lower body laser hair removal. I visited a good Dr . who used a powerful early model fractionated laser device yet ended up with with spotty parts. Next I decided to get a Silkn Sensepil. I am thrilled and will be starting different regions of my body soon. The costs also fit my budget which is really a major advantage.

I really like the colors here on your blog. did you design this yourself or did you outsource it to a professional?

Hands down, Apple's app store wins by a mile. It's a huge selection of all sorts of apps vs a rather sad selection of a handful for Zune. Microsoft has plans, especially in the realm of games, but I'm not sure I'd want to bet on the future if this aspect is important to you. The iPod is a much better choice in that case.
