– The Grand Hotel should be congratulated for bringing over good live music and their inaugural Black Tie Charity night next Saturday promises to be the social event of the year. The band coming over are the best session musicians in Australia who play on Australian Idol and who backed Tom Jones on his recent concert tour. There will be great prizes to bid and raffled on to raise much needed money for the hospital including stays in resorts, tours and meals and more and you can have fun and play black jack and roulette throughout the night. Money raised is for a good cause but you will need to wear a jacket and tie to take part. Crooner Frank Bennett will be singing a great section of ballads and there will have a horn section and it promises to be a spectacular social event ending with a massive fireworks display. Lets give the Grand some support for bringing over quality entertainment and raising funds for the hospital. Check out their ad and order your tickets. Silip!

– Scottish sculptor Kevin Harman was fined the equivalent of about vt32,500 in November for vandalizing the Collective Gallery in Edinburgh, Scotland by smashing a metal scaffolding pole through a gallery window. Harman insisted that the incident was actually “art,” in that it was part of a video for a project at the Edinburgh College of Art and that Harman had immediately paid to replace the window. However, it was not “art” to the gallery’s management, which pressed charges. Harman, according to London’s The Guardian, said he was less distressed by the fine than by the gallery’s insulting his art by calling it vandalism. [The Guardian, 12-18-09]
– In December, Portuguese dancer Rita Marcalo, seeking to raise public awareness of the tragedy of epilepsy (which has afflicted her for 20 years), performed a 24-hour “show” at a West Yorkshire, England, theater in which she attempted to trigger an epileptic seizure on stage. She had stopped taking medication beforehand and continually stared into flashing strobe lights, but was unsuccessful. However, in the second part of her project (which has been funded by an Arts Council grant of the equivalent of about $20,000), she will continue the quest, but only in front of cameras, hoping to capture a seizure for a subsequent video production.
