Daniel Radcliffe, skyclad

Provided you live in Manhattan, that is.

Yes, child star (ah, they grow up so fast, don’t they?) Daniel Radcliffe will be bringing his jailbaitalicious skyclad junk to Broadway. To be fair, his performance in Equus was by all accounts quite good, and North America has not yet had the opportunity to get our knickers (if any) in a twist about the fact that the role involves smoking, so it’s not as if this is simple pandering to a continent greedy for wizard-perving. It’s not as if we’ve been deprived, after all.

But raincoaster sources suspect something else. A different, more sordid explanation. We believe that the real reason behind the revival of a somewhat elderly yet not quite classic play is the simple fact that Daniel Radcliffe is an exhibitionistic, pervy sex maniac whose needs could not be met by his own nation of 60,776,238!

And this does indeed take us to our happy place. How much to stage this at The Centre?

 CHAPLIN AT THE CHAPEL
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
WITH MUSIC BY: THE STINGING HORNETS
SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 10th: 8PM
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

Posted on by

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.

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!
