12 MIDNITE’S LOUD LOWBROW CLOSING PARTY
Plus: The premiere screening of “SHAKE, RATTLE AND ROLL”a short
documentary on Vancouver’s rockabilly scene by MELISSA JAMES

THE CHAPEL: 304 DUNLEVY, VANCOUVER
12 MIDNITE, generally acknowledged as the proud pappy of Canada’s
Lowbrow scene ends his six week run at the CHAPEL this Saturday…. and
he’s bringing some pals along for the ride.
LOUD LOWBROW is a showcase of midnite’s artwork, music and custom cars,
presented in the confines of a converted art deco funeral chapel
through the good graces of Chapelarts owner Nathan Wiens and curator
Jennifer Abrams.
The opening was a spectacle that saw the street packed with of wicked
hotrods, while inside the CHAPEL’S posh interior the black leather
rubbed against Armani as art hungry fans had the red dots flying for
the work of MIDNITE and fellow pop-punk pioneer I, Braineater.
This time, Abrams has 12 MIDNITE teaming up with ROBERT CHAPLIN, who
has been referred to as one of Canada’s hidden artistic treasures.
CHAPLIN AT THE CHAPEL will have Chaplin taking over the ground floor
with is prodigious output including ink drawings, paintings, meticulous
metal, stone and glass sculptures, children’s books and if we’re lucky,
a copy of his world’s smallest published book
(http://www.robertchaplin.ca/pubs/teeny/ )
Beneath his mild mannered exterior lies the soul of an evil genius that
has captured the hearts of clever collectors far and wide.
Speaking of clever collectors, this will be Vancouver’s last chance of
the year to scoop up 12 Midnite art as it’s being packed-up to travel
to distant realms…Consider yourself warned.
As an added bonus, MELISSA JAMES will be screening “SHAKE, RATTLE AND
ROLL” her short documentary on the Vancouver Rockabilly scene which was
shot in part at THE CHAPEL during the LOUD LOWBROW opening.
Music for the evening will be provided by THE STINGING HORNETS
featuring a collection of long-time rockabilly legends including HOWARD
RIX and JIMMY ROY in all their sweat-and-bourbon-soaked greaseball
glory.
And if that weren’t enough, the 10th marks Chapelarts owner NATHAN
WIENS’ annual 29th birthday party! Who knows, there might even be
cake….

Season of the Witch
The firecrackers have started in Chinatown and the first of the Skytrain costume parties is over. The stores are decked in a crazy clashing kaliedoscope of pumpkin orange, black, red, and green as Christmas tries to force its way through the doors before all passengers have disembarked, the passenger in question being Halloween.
Here is something to make the moments go a little faster. The moments until you can declare all the candy in your house “leftovers” and gobble those little Snickers bars as fast as your paws can peel them.
The Club Mix of Season of the Witch, by Eartha Kitt.
Fabulous visuals by Queerty (via Defamer)
Can you name them all?
Neopagan flames in the comment section, please. But be warned: I’ve actually read Margaret Murray’s The Witch Cult in Western Europe. Bring your game, people!
what this world needs is more singing, dancing contraception
If they could somehow work jazz hands into this, it would be just about perfect.
NSFW if your boss is really, really uptight about cross-sectional illustrations of gay sex, or maybe also wooden dildos
Here, via The Manolo, is the singingest, dancingest Bollywood-fabulousest subtitlediest condom commercial you’ll ever lay eyes on. They’re like the Teletubbies of the prophylactic world!
It’s remarkable that somehow the Third World got the jump on us in this regard, but here is the proof. Surely, surely, if North Americans had condom commercials featuring Paula Abdul choreography and Celine Dion vocals, maybe throwing in some Sigfried and Roy or Zac Efron for the boys, we could eliminate unintended pregnancy overnight! Up With People and the whole celibacy movement just haven’t got the showbiz pizazz to pull it off. I mean, what can you do when Blair from Fats of Life is the best you’ve got? We need to ramp up the production values if this is ever going to work…as they said in Earth Girls are Easy, Southern California has the cosmetology equivalent of Stealth technology. The same can be said for its entertainment. What’s the first step?
First, we sign Bob Evans. Then, we wait, baby. Then we wait.

quiz: Which Lovecraftian Entity Are You?
Spawn of Yog-Sothoth? WTF is that? Don’t they know who I am?????
I feel a soul-eating rampage coming on! CindyRedDeer shall be spared, for verily that is where I stole this from. From whence I stole this. Or Whom. Whatever. I’ll eat your soul.
Your Score: Spawn of Yog Sothoth
You scored 6 Unearthliness, 6 Sheer Horror, 9 Power, and 8 Intelligence!
You mother was the most cursed of human women, but your father was something truly unearthly [ed.note: naw, they got that backwards, silly OKCupiders!]. Depending on which side you took after, you may be able to pass for human, in the right clothes and lighting conditions, or you may be such a bizarre monstrosity that light itself refuses to acknowledge your form, making you invisible to the human eye [well, they got that right]. Either way, you have grown to a curious adulthood at a prodigious rate, and even now are conspiring to open the Gate that lets your father through to this meager world.
My test tracked 4 variables How you compared to other people your age and gender:
You scored higher than 74% on Unearthliness
You scored higher than 84% on Sheer Horror
You scored higher than 92% on Power
You scored higher than 94% on Intelligence
