BayDomain
is a great place FOR WRITERS STARTING OUT to PUBLISH materials.Once
enough of the Tampa Writer's Guild gets involved, Bay Domain will be the
solid ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT alternative when the Weekly Planet chokes on
itself. BayDomain features pictures from local and BIG NAME shows, interviews
with local and BIG NAME BANDS, REAL AUDIO and VIDEO featuring LOCAL BANDS
and some NATIONAL BANDS, COMPLETE local concert listings and even restaurant
reviews. ONCE AGAIN---Submitting writing to places like BayDomain is
a great way to get your writing career off the ground. I began my
humble career as a writer to get free shit. Submitting to local, grass
roots entities like BayDoman, gets your name known in circles that WILL
HOOK YOU UP WITH FREE RECORDS TO REVIEW and GUEST LIST PRIVELEDGES.
Then comes the power, then comes the women, then the cocaine. Piles of
it.

| cute : retarded | MAUREEN PRESENTS: "Fun" Maureen's Funhouse of Fun |
| These
are some of my sister's sketchbook drawings. They are childlike in their
beauty and just plain creepy. I think that, after you look around this
joint, this here funhouse, i think you'll agree that they don't call this
place a "fun" house for no good reason. I think you'll leave here thinking,
"man, that place was sure...interesting." And then you'll think, "and
fun, also." It's an angelfire site so it takes a second to load.

(FEATURED
WRITERS: Dave Eggers, Sarah Vowell, Neal Pollack, Todd Pruzan, many others)
This is in my top three favorite things on the web. Physically, McSweeney's
is both a quarterly literary journal and a website, published by the young
Mr. Dave Eggers, author of A
Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius. McSweeney's is funny. And
you can't argue with funny. Unless you have a Master's Degree. And even
then, funny will just laugh in your face if you try to argue with it.
McSweeney's tone is sometimes absurd, but rarely silly. It may fly over
your head; but like some sort of military plane, you will crane your neck
and stare skyward, fascinated at its underside. And you will relish its
deafening roar. Begin with the ARCHIVES. It's a ratio of about 5 brilliant
pieces to one questionable one. And the pieces are short enough that you
can sneak one or two an hour at work, like cigarettes. And if you read
enough of them, you will feel intellectually replenished like you just
read a book.

Were
it not for The Gus there would be no Commonplace: GUS has been documenting
his life for 6 years. His well written BIG FUN GLOSSARY, exhaustingly
documents every friend foe and phenomenon during his youth getting fucked
up on Robitussin (extensive tails of Robitussin abuse) in Charlottesville,
it's a fucking acheivement. Amazing use of links from the journal
to the glossary, as well as photo documentary, really leave you feeling
like you know GUS. Because of his tenure, he has a huge fanbase he's picked
up through the years and his FORUM board is always blowin' up with fun
discussions from all the people who feel they know him. Begin at "Big
Fun, a Social Documentary," for tales of Gus and his friends living the
poverty stricken artfag/punk life we live. He currently documents his
life (at 30+ years old) but he has turned into a boring psuedo-yuppie
who eats out every meal and fights with his girlfriend alot. But if you
begin from the beginning, it's fascinating to watch the metamorphosis.Highly
addictive but easy to consume in small chunks.

| The
guy to the left's 'singles' add: seems he wants to meet the perfect woman
just as bad as we do. And he thinks his class, unique style and WEALTH
can lure an American wife. I cannot describe the wonders of this 'personals'
add just as Marco Polo was not able to describe the spices he'd discovered
in the New World: taste sensations he'd never experienced. This was made
for the office: in 20 seconds you die laughing, in one minute you're done,
and still laughing.

| Art
and sometimes music and other things from the members (and half members...such
as, violinist, Liza Wakeman) of local, elegant, experimental country group:
NOVEMBER FOXTROT WHISKEY. The first exhibit is the visual art of lead
guy, Aaron Lepley. He is gay.
The picture to the left: Aaron drew and painted it with some pencils and his own blood, the day he had his wisdom teeth removed, he opened his mouth and dripped over the paper and made this drawing with his blood. The other works in the collection are a lot more up beat and do not incorporate blood. |

I'm
going to refrain from cute comments on Lance's page out of respect for
a true artist amidst all the imposters. If I ever come into a wealth of
wealth, I'm going to pay to have a huge exhibition of Lance's miniature
landscapes.Check it...

| funny : gross : well written | Stinky Meat |
|
Have
you ever wondered what really goes on when meat rots and becomes maggot-infested,
without all the hype and misinformation? Now you will know. The narrative
tone of this piece/project pushes it toward greatness. It's surprisingly
hi-humor given the subject matter. The experiment lasted 19 days, I believe.
So, if your boss comes around the corner and you have to do some work,
you may experience irritation while wondering what happens next: better
to consume the whole thing (1/2 an hour...) in one sitting.

|
SYCOM
studios are the laboratories for the electronic music students at USF.
The studio has old rare equipment (Moogs mostly) and three working studios
(1 analog, 1 digital, 1 computer studio...one of each, like a chimichanga
special). And if you take a few classes that teach you to use the studios,
you can use them for free. The SYCOM path wil lead you to your own technical
and artistic prowess. Take these courses, and you may end up making money
doing something you love, and you won't have to worry about whether your
boss catches you looking at websites when you're suppose to be working.

| innovative presentation : well written : TRULY dynamic | word |
| WORD is the written word presented in multi-dimensionally. It has a lot of moving parts: take that for what it's worth. Very good short stories by people in their twenties and up, artistically utilizing computer technology: fiction wrapped in computer tricks as well as strange artistic video games and short films. WORD is not suitable for looking at at work unless you have a fast powerful computer (i do at work). But I urge you to look at WORD when you have leisure time. Very rewarding on a lot of levels. | |
