So I got another panoramic under the MacArthur Causeway on a rainy Sunday, watching the Celebrity Cruise Lines Constellation turning around quickly in the harbor …

While under the bridge, I discovered this odd visual … all these pylons covered with “faux” Dunkin’ Doughnut stickers? As you can see it’s the same font/colors scheme as Dunkin’ Donuts set with jumbled phrases, i.e.: “KIN’ DO IT”, “KIN’ DO ATTITUDE”, “I KIN’ KIN’ YOU”, etc. Looked freshly made … maybe an Art Basel (Dec ‘09) leftover? Definitely caught my attention …

more detail …

It all started with a basketball game on Sunday at UM – Vs. Virginia Tech – with friend (and UM English Teacher) Melissa … my first college basketball game, lots of cheerleaders (3 different “squads”!) and cheering. I guess it al seemed to work because the “Canes” won!

not to go unnoticed – the latest from Last Rights …

… love the “local” graphics!

Here’s my Art Basel/Miami Wedensday pick – to kick things off …

Tonight! Sat. December 13th / Fillmore Miami Beach at the Jackie Gleason Theater   David Byrne comes to raise the hair on your arms and the sweat on your palms. Eno and Byrne have made a new record, Everything that Happens will Happen Today, their first in 30 years-the formula was lost, but now it has been found. Byrne and Eno began their artistic relationship in the late seventies with 3 Talking Heads albums, followed by their groundbreaking album My Life in the Bush of Ghosts. Songs from all of the above will be performed in this concert, but not in that order.  live nation.
