All the more reason to stay aware of the issue facing us and not let it "parking meter" it's way into our lives.<br /><br />You can <a href="http://www.dnalounge.com/backstage/log/2009/10/14.html">find out more on the San Fran issue here</a>:<br /><br />Here is an excerpt:<br />"A vocal group of ultra-conservative neighbors have banded with the anti-alcohol and anti-entertainment elements in the police department and the state alcohol control department to shut down night-time entertainment in San Francisco. This is a real threat. These people have come to hearings at City Hall and blamed night-time entertainment for ... society's problems. We need you to show up at Monday's hearing and/or send an email of support now. Again, the hearing is next Monday, Oct 19 at 10am in room 263 at City Hall."JaGoFFhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03335124089934940820noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1244462346880188841.post-23917887724142961102009-09-20T17:27:00.000-07:002009-09-20T17:36:03.331-07:00TONIGHT: Chicago Promoters Ordiance Interview on WHPK 88.5FM.

It also represented the American entrepreneur at it's most basic level. This area represented so much to so many.

With all of the planning that we had to do for the Promoters' Ordinance panel disussion for <a href="http://blogs.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&friendId=3812604&blogId=474063912" target=_blank>last week's event</a> at Old Town School, we kind of fell behind on the editing for the art exhibit documentary video. Nonetheless, here it is. The video covers both the set-up party and opening night festivities. JaGoFF had two pieces in the exhibit, which <a href="http://viewmorepics.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewPicture&friendID=3812604&albumId=3005379" target=_blank>you can view here.</a> We also <a href="http://viewmorepics.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewPicture&friendID=3812604&albumId=3066278" target=_blank>posted the photos of the evening</a> which you are free to view. Enjoy.<br /><br />Documented here are: <br />(00:00 - 12:32) CAD: Art Drop off/Set-up party on Feb 6th <br />(12:33 - 31:46) CAD: Opening Night Reception/Art Exhibit on Feb 13th<br /><br />Background Story:<br />In comemmoration of Abraham Lincoln's Bicentennial Birthday, the Chicago Art Department invited the creative community to submit 200 pieces of Lincoln inspired work. The walls, floor and ceilings of CAD were dripping with Abe and an Abe in every medium: skateboard art, video installments, commemorative stamps, modified dunnies, a crucified Abe, a recreated Mutoscope (circa 1895) and even an Abe of the edible variety. <br /><br />This documentary includes several artist interviews and overall set-up and party footage. Many thanks to everyone who participated. The night was amazing. <br /><br />Special thanks to the amazing folks at: <br />The Chicago Art Department <br />ChicagoArtDepartment.org <br /><br />Produced and directed by JaGoFF (Sir Real & Mofo) <br />Filmed live in Chicago by Sir Real. <br />Edited by Mofo.«JaGoFFhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03335124089934940820noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1244462346880188841.post-30174666421327822542009-03-02T05:28:00.000-08:002009-03-04T03:53:00.886-08:00Join us Friday March 6th: Stop the Chicago Promoter's Ordinance!

If you missed it, you have one last chance to check out the exhibit on Friday. Final viewing is from 6Pm - 8PM, at which point the lights go down and the music and video begin with Future Version 1.0 (which will feature an evening full of VJ/DJ showcases). JaGoFF is not going to be performing any music, but many of our good friends will be. We invite you all to come and take part in the fun. It's sure to be a great night!<br /><br />CAD is located in Chicago's Pilsen Art District @ 1837 S.

Maybe we could even listen to all meetings and phone calls too? That would probably help to fight crime and make the city a safer place.<br /><br />"Feeling safe" is obviously more important than actually <a href="http://chicagoist.com/2008/08/07/chicagos_murder_rate_up.php" target=_blank>being safe.</a> If these cameras would keep us safe from cancer, foreclosure, pollution, corruption, and/or losing your job and paying a living wage, etc. - rather than being akin to taking your picture on a rollercoaster at an amusement partk, then yeah. Until they work that one out - no thank you.JaGoFFhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03335124089934940820noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1244462346880188841.post-10004465722836761312009-02-15T19:21:00.000-08:002009-02-15T19:28:49.575-08:00Video coverage of the "200 Lincolns" art exhibit at the Chicago Art Department w/ JaGoFF by (the one and only) Nurse Mika Fakeblood<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/CnoqBN7ukqo&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/CnoqBN7ukqo&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><br /><br />It took two days (daze), but we have fully recouperated from the (capacity) crowd <a href="http://thejagoff.blogspot.com/2009/02/jagoff-submits-artwork-for-chicago-art.html" target=_blank>at Friday night's "200 Lincoln" exhibit at the Chicago Art Department.</a> Sexy Nurse Mika Fakeblood was there in all of her glory, documenting it all guerrilla style and was kind enough to post the video "200 Lincolns: Don't Knock the Hustle". Enjoy, we did.<br /><br />Nurse Miks's take:<br />"Mika FakeBlood partied with Illinois favorite dead President Gorrilla- style. 200 artworks celebrated Lincoln's Birthday at the Chicago Art Department 2nd Friday Gala. (This Sexy Nurse might bring anyone back to life) However in order to erect the dead 200 artists came together. Jagoff was more than happy to share Abraham and the Two Thieves with the packed house. Mika FakeBlood is more than Happy to wrap the evening up for you! Can Illinois say Crucifixion? It could get messy! But there weren't any cops????? ... Political Satire: with all due respect Mr.President you have been cloned! Expect nothing less from Jagoff."<br /><br />Many thanks to everyone for showing such amazing support. The evening was incredible. If you didn't catch the art show, we posted the JaGoFF submissions "Abraham and the Two Thieves" & "Lincoln Bicentennial Commemorative Stamp" in our photo section. <a href="http://viewmorepics.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewPicture&friendID=3812604&albumId=3005379" target=_blank>You can view them here.</a> Too much damn fun.<br /><br />We are editing our pix and should have them up later on this evening.JaGoFFhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03335124089934940820noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1244462346880188841.post-85853860042226571322009-02-11T18:56:00.000-08:002009-02-11T19:19:54.490-08:00Podcasts from the "What's the Future for Musicians?
